This essay looks at the literary relationship between two of Britain’s great twentieth century figures, Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill. The two are rarely considered together, but did Christie, in ‘The Augean Stables’ (1940), cast Churchill as the warmonger Everhard?

A recent study in this journal of the doctrine of police operational independence has raised important questions around that concept ( Malik, 2022 ). New boundaries of tolerance and influence, it is said, need to be negotiated for the Scottish Police Authority to be able to play a more meaningful and independent oversight role in police governance. Yet, in that recent study an essential aspect of the law of Scotland was overlooked as an important component in assessing the doctrine of police operational independence.

Schooling in Edinburgh is often seen as a uniquely divisive social issue, reflecting the relatively large size of the selective independent sector that, because it charges fees, caters mainly for the affluent middle class. Yet the actual history of the city’s schools during the twentieth century suggests a more complex account. For reasons relating to the size of inherited endowments, the schools that are now independent of local-authority management constituted a much larger share than elsewhere in Scotland of the selective academic sector in the city before the move to comprehensive schooling in the 1960s and 1970s, but, until that time, most of these independent schools were, in effect, part of the public system. The result throughout the century was that the city did indeed have greater social-class inequality in education than the rest of Scotland, but also that it had higher attainment in all social classes and for both sexes.
