 conditions.In all, he spent 13 years in captivity. During the 1970s and 1980s, this included being confined to the bottom of an old, emptied horse-watering trough for more than two years. During his time in prison, <mask> suffered a number of health problems, particularly mental issues. Although his two closest cellmates, Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro and Mauricio Rosencof, often managed to communicate with each other, they rarely managed to bring <mask> into the conversation. According to <mask> himself, at the time he was suffering from auditory hallucinations and related forms of paranoia. In 1985, when constitutional democracy was restored, <mask> was freed under an amnesty law that covered political and related military crimes committed since 1962. Several years after the restoration of democracy, <mask> and many Tupamaros joined other left-wing organizations to create the Movement of Popular Participation, a political party that was accepted within the Broad Front coalition.In the 1999 general elections, <mask> was elected deputy and in the elections of 1990 he was elected senator. Due in part to <mask>'s charisma, the MPP continued to grow in popularity and votes, and by 2004, it had become the largest of any faction within the Broad Front. In the elections of that year, <mask> was re-elected to the Senate, and the MPP obtained over 300,000 votes, thus consolidating its position as the top political force within the coalition and a major force behind the victory of presidential candidate Tabaré Vázquez. <mask> was then elected in 2009 as president in the following elections.

He held this position until a cabinet change in 2008, when he resigned and was replaced by Ernesto Agazzi.<mask> then returned to his seat in the Senate. Political positions

<mask>'s political ideology has evolved over the years from orthodox to pragmatist. In recent times he has expressed a desire for a more flexible political left. His speaking style and manner is credited as part of his growing popularity since the late 1990s, especially among rural and poor sectors of the population. He has been variously described as an "antipolitician" and a man who "speaks the language of the people" while also receiving criticism for untimely or inappropriate remarks. Unlike president Vázquez, who vetoed a bill put forward by parliament that would make abortions legal, <mask> has stated that should it come before him in the future, he would not veto such a bill. In the sphere of international relations, he hopes to further negotiations and agreements between the European Union and the regional trade bloc Mercosur, of which Uruguay is a founding member.On the Uruguay River pulp mill dispute between Argentina and Uruguay, <mask> was more conciliatory toward the Argentine government than the previous administration, and in 2010 the two nations ended their long-running dispute and signed an agreement detailing an environmental monitoring plan of the river and the setting up of a binational commission. Good personal relations between <mask> and Argentinian counterpart Cristina Kirchner helped lead to the accord, although several

He was close to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, whom he considered to be "the most generous ruler I have ever known." In 2011, he spoke out against the military operations launched by several Western countries against Libya. Asked about Brazilian President Lula da Silva's decision to receive Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he answered it was a "genius move" because "The more Iran is fenced in, the worse it will be for the rest of the world." Even though President Vázquez favored his Finance Minister Danilo Astori as presidential candidate of the then unified Broad Front to succeed him in 2010, <mask>'s broad appeal and growing support within the party posed a challenge to the president. On 14 December 2008, The Extraordinary Congress "Zelmar Michelini" (a party convention) proclaimed <mask> as the official candidate of the Broad Front for primary elections of 2009, but four more precandidates were allowed to participate, including Astori.On 28 June 2009, <mask> won the primary elections becoming the presidential candidate of the Broad Front for the 2009 general election. After that, Astori agreed to be his running mate. Their campaign was centered on the concept of continuing and deepening the policies of the highly popular administration of Vázquez, using the slogan “Un gobierno honrado, un país de primera" (An honest government, a first-class country) – indirectly referencing cases of administrative corruption within the former government of the major opposition candidate, conservative Luis Alberto Lacalle. During the campaign, <mask> distanced himself from the governing style of

Known for his informal style of dress, <mask> donned a suit (without a tie) for some stops in the presidential campaign, notably during visits to regional heads of state. In October 2009, <mask> won a plurality of over 48 percent of the votes compared to 30 percent for former president Lacalle, falling short of the majority required by the constitution, while at the same time renewing the Broad Front's parliamentary majority for the next legislature (2010–2015). A runoff was then held on 29 November to determine the winner; on 30 November <mask> emerged as the victor, with more than 52% of the vote over Lacalle's 43%.In his first speech as president-elect before a crowd of supporters, <mask> acknowledged his political adversaries and called for unity, stating that there would be no winners or losers ("Ni vencidos, ni vencedores"). He added that "it is a mistake to think that power comes from above, when it comes from within the hearts of the masses (...) it has taken me a lifetime to learn this". Government
<mask> formed a cabinet made up of politicians from the different components of the Broad Front, conceding the area of economics to aides of his vice president Danilo Astori. In June 2012, <mask>'s government made a controversial move to legalize state-controlled sales of marijuana in Uruguay in order to fight drug-related crimes and health issues, and stated that they would ask global leaders to do the same. <mask> said that by regulating

The state would also be able to keep track of all marijuana consumers in the country and provide treatment to the most serious abusers, much like that which is done with alcoholics. <mask> also passed a same-sex marriage law and legalized abortion for women.In September 2013, <mask> addressed the United Nations General Assembly, with a very long speech devoted to humanity and globalization. The speech called on the international community to strengthen efforts to preserve the planet for future generations and highlighted the power of the financial systems and the impact of economic fallout on ordinary people. He urged a return to simplicity, with lives founded on human relationships, love, friendship, adventure, solidarity and family, instead of lives shackled to the economy and the markets. In general terms, its policy was in line with the previous mandate. The share of social expenditure in total public expenditure thus rose from 60.9% to 75.5% between 2004 and 2013. During this period, the unemployment rate remained at about 7%, the national poverty rate was reduced from 18% to 9.7% and the minimum wage was raised from UYU$4,800 to UYU$10,000 (average annual inflation rate of 7%) and the Government's debt raised from 59% to 65%. It also supported the strengthening of trade unions.According to the International Trade Union Confederation, Uruguay has become the most advanced country in the Americas in terms of respect for "fundamental labor rights, in particular freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining and the right to strike". <mask>

He was succeeded by Vázquez, who returned to office for a second non-consecutive term. According to BBC correspondent Wyre Davies, "<mask> left office with a relatively healthy economy and with social stability those bigger neighbors could only dream of." Personal life

In 2005, <mask> married Lucía Topolansky, a fellow former Tupamaros member after many years living together. They have no children and live on a farm owned by Lucía in the outskirts of Montevideo, where they cultivate chrysanthemums for sale, having declined to live in the presidential palace or to use its staff.Also living at his farm is his three-legged dog, Manuela. Topolansky briefly served as acting president in November 2010 while her husband took part in a business delegation to Spain and Vice President Astori was on an official trip to Antarctica. Before then, she served in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. <mask> has drawn worldwide attention for his simple lifestyle. He has used a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle as a means of transportation. In 2010, the value of the car was $1,800 and represented the entirety of the mandatory annual personal wealth declaration filed by <mask> for that year. In November 2014, the Uruguayan newspaper Búsqueda reported that he had been offered 1 million dollars for the car; he said that if he did get 1 million dollars for the car it would be donated to house the homeless through a program that he supports.<mask> is an atheist.

He concluded his talk by adding: "I see that there are many young people here; as an old man, a little advice: Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, in the social struggle, but, if we search for it, we'll have the strength to get up again and start over.

Stuart Lisle, co-chairman of BDO's Brexit taskforce said "We think companies such as Arlington Industries, CH&Co, and Princess Yachts are exactly the sort of entrepreneurially minded, mid-sized businesses that government and policymakers should do all they can to support. They outperform their larger and smaller counterparts in terms of growth in profits and sales, and in job creation, and yet they are often overlooked by government policy"

 Herzegovina. Style of play
Regarded as a promising young Italian player in his position in the media, <mask> is a regista, and is often likened to Andrea Pirlo – who also started his career with Brescia – in terms of his movement, coordination, appearance, technical qualities, position, and playing style. A strong, energetic, elegant, and creative, midfielder, with excellent vision and an ability to read the game, Tonali usually plays in a central or defensive midfield role as deep-lying playmaker in a 4–3–3 formation, and shows maturity and character beyond his young age.Dictating play for Brescia with his passing in midfield, he set up two goals and even scored two himself in his 19 appearances in Serie B during the 2017–18 season. Although naturally right-footed, he is known for his accurate long passing ability with either foot. Moreover, he is also adept at taking set-pieces. In addition to Pirlo, Tonali has also cited Steven Gerrard and Luka Modrić as influences, and has also compared his own playing style to that of Gennaro Gattuso. In July 2019, he was named by UEFA as one of the 50 promising young players to watch for the 2019–20 season. Personal life
In October 2020, <mask> tested positive for COVID-19. Tonali is a Milan fan since childhood.Career statistics

title: Robert Fletcher (East India Company officer)

texts:
Sir <mask> ( 173824 December 1776) was an officer of the East India Company and a member of parliament for Cricklade. <mask> joined the East India Company as a junior clerk in 1757 but soon transferred to its army. As a lieutenant he was cashiered (dismissed) for insolence but was later restored. <mask> was awarded a knighthood for gallantry in battle and rose in rank to lieutenant-colonel in command of a brigade. He was court-martialled and cashiered for the second time by <mask> for involvement in the 1766 Monghyr Mutiny. Returning to Britain <mask>, during the 1768 general election, stood unsuccessfully at Malmesbury before finding a seat at Cricklade. In parliament, he opposed the government of William Pitt before he was restored to service with the East India Company after the intercession of a fellow MP.He afterwards voted in support of the government. <mask> returned to India in 1772 to command the Madras Army. He soon came into conflict with the presidency's governor Josias Du Pre, after which <mask> chose to leave India and return to Britain. He considered standing at the 1774 British general election but withdrew the day before the poll. Returning to India in 1775, <mask> again came into conflict with the governor, Lord Pigot, which culminated in Pigot's arrest. Sick with tuberculosis, <mask> undertook a sea voyage to convalesce but died at Mauritius during his travels. Early life and career
<mask> was born circa 1738 to <mask> and <mask> (née Lyon).During his youth his father served as a major in Lord Ogilvy's regiment of the Jacobite Army during the rising of 1745. After the defeat of the Jacobites, he fled to Bergen, Norway and did not return to Scotland until 1754. The young <mask> was appointed a writer in the service of the East India Company at Madras in May 1757. He transferred to the company's army as an ensign in September and was promoted to lieutenant.

 insolence, but the intervention of senior officer Eyre Coote restored him to his position. <mask>, who served during the Seven Years' War, was promoted to captain in 1760. He returned to England in 1763 and was knighted on 29 December for his gallantry in action.He was promoted to major in 1764 and lieutenant-colonel in 1765. He returned to India in command of a brigade and was implicated in the 1766 Monghyr Mutiny. Court-martialled and cashiered again by <mask>, he returned to England. Political career
Upon his return <mask> sought a seat in Parliament. After first considering Bridport in Dorset he stood, with William Mayne, for the two seats at Malmesbury in the 1768 British general election. The pair garnered just two votes apiece (out of 13 electors) to the 11 won by the Earl of Donegall and Thomas Howard. Undaunted he passed through Cricklade, Wiltshire, just days before the election there and, finding a relative of Clive had declined a seat there, won it on 16 March 1768 without any expenditure whatsoever.The seat is thought to have cost him £4,000 in promised payments to the electors. The second seat went to George Damer, son of the wealthy Lord Milton. In parliament <mask> voted generally in support of the opposition to the government of William Pitt but primarily acted in the interest of his restoration to the East India Company. He had failed to achieve this, by some 30 votes, at the company's General court earlier in the year. Fellow MP George Grenville interceded on his behalf with Clive, who dropped his opposition, and on 15 December 1769 <mask> was reinstated and promoted to colonel. Though formally posted to Madras, he did not sail until 1771 and in the meantime came to support the government in parliament. First return to India
Upon arrival in 1772 <mask> assumed command of the Madras Army from Brigadier General Joseph Smith.Within months <mask> was in conflict with the company's governor of Madras Josias Du Pre.

 This came to a head in January 1773 when Du Pre dismissed <mask> from the council and ordered him to Trichinopoly to keep him out of the city. <mask> took the opportunity, in March 1773, to leave India. Around this time he wrote to friends in England to ask them to lobby for his appointment as Commander-in-Chief, India, which was not successful. <mask> took part in parliamentary business in 1774, including voting against extending the Parliamentary Elections Act 1770 perpetually. He stated in the House of Commons on 28 February that he would press for an inquiry into the business of the East India Company. The Company afterwards re-engaged his services, promoting him to brigadier-general in April 1774 and posting him to Madras once more.<mask> postponed travelling to contest Cricklade at the 1774 British general election but withdrew the day before the poll. He married Anne Pybus, the daughter of a banker, on 17 December 1774. Second return to India

<mask>,  (; born December 22, 1938) is a Canadian lawyer, diplomat and retired politician. Minister for two years in the Mulroney cabinet, <mask> then led the emerging Bloc Québécois and became Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons of Canada from 1993 to 1996. He became a central figure for the "Yes" side in the 1995 Quebec referendum, alongside Jacques Parizeau, whom he succeeded to serve as the 27th premier of Quebec from January 29, 1996, to March 8, 2001. Early life
<mask> was born in Saint-Cœur-de-Marie, Québec, the son of Alice (née Simard) and <mask>. His brother is the historian <mask>. He practised law in Chicoutimi until 1985, while being given many charges as a public servant over the years: president of the arbitration committee for the education sector (1970 to 1976), prosecutor in chief for the commission for labour and industry (Cliche commission, 1974–75), and co-president of the study commission on the public and parapublic sectors (Martin-Bouchard commission — 1975). From then, he acted as a coordinator or member of many special teams on behalf of Quebec's government in the trade union negotiations for the public sector.In a 2000 interview with the journalist Michel Auger about his work with the Cliche commission, <mask> named union boss André Desjardins one of the most toughest witnesses that he ever cross-examined. Early years in politics and diplomacy
<mask>'s relationship with politics is a complex one, as he affiliated himself over the years with various political parties with highly diverging ideologies, going as far as founding one, the Bloc Québécois. <mask> has been a Quebec nationalist during his entire political career. Contrary to

 popular belief, during the 1970 Quebec general election, he did not work for the federalist Quebec Liberal Party. He was deeply shaken by the events of Quebec's October Crisis, especially by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's imposition of the War Measures Act requested by then Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa. <mask> worked with the "Yes" side during the 1980 Quebec referendum on sovereignty. In 1984 Brian Mulroney, <mask>'s close friend from his law school days at Université Laval, became Canadian Prime Minister.Mulroney would go on to ask <mask> to serve in various official capacities, including (in 1985) as Canadian ambassador to France. MP in the House of Commons

Cabinet Minister in the Mulroney Cabinet
In 1988, <mask> returned to Canada to serve as Mulroney's Quebec lieutenant, and was elected as a Progressive Conservative from a Saguenay-area riding. He was immediately named to Cabinet as Secretary of State and later Minister of the Environment. While still a strong Quebec nationalist, he believed that Mulroney's Meech Lake Accord was sufficient to placate nationalist feelings and keep Quebec in Confederation. However, after a commission headed by Jean Charest recommended some changes to the Accord, <mask> opposed them, saying they diluted the original spirit and objectives of Meech. Mulroney rejected his reasoning. Formation of the Bloc Québécois

Soon afterward, <mask> declared himself a sovereigntist and sent a message of support to the PQ, which was holding an anniversary meeting in his riding.When Mulroney learned about this, he called <mask> into his office and fired him, though <mask> long publicly insisted that he had resigned rather than support what he saw

 as a betrayal of Meech. It turned out that <mask> had cut a deal with PQ leader Jacques Parizeau in which <mask> would declare his support for sovereigntism; PQ leaders had told <mask> that if Meech succeeded, it would mean the end of the PQ. Mulroney only learned of the deal when Parizeau revealed the plot in the early 2000s, and was angered to learn that <mask> had "cooked up the deal with Parizeau while he was a member of my cabinet." Years later, Mulroney told CTV News' Lloyd Robertson that he seriously considered sacking <mask> when Bouchard supported Quebec's ban on English-language signs after promising Mulroney that he opposed them. In hindsight, Mulroney said, not firing <mask> then was "a mistake." The two have not spoken to each other since then, though they have occasionally run into each other in Montreal. <mask> resigned from the Progressive Conservatives soon afterward, and sat as an independent for a few months.After the failure of the Meech Lake Accord, <mask> formed the sovereigntist Bloc Québécois with five former Tories and two former Liberals. The PQ campaigned for the Bloc in the 1993 federal election in order to prepare Quebec for sovereignty, according to the Three Periods strategy devised by Parizeau. In this election, the Bloc Québécois won 54 out of 75 ridings in Quebec, including a near-sweep of the francophone ridings. Despite only running candidates in Quebec, its heavy concentration of support there was enough to give it the second-most seats in the House. <mask> thus became the first separatist leader of the Opposition in the history of Canada. Leader of the Opposition
Soon after the election, <mask> discovered that most of the members of

 his large caucus could not speak English nearly well enough to use it in debate (although he and most of the Bloc's other founding members were fluently bilingual). More or less out of necessity, he announced that Bloc MPs would only speak French on the Commons floor, a policy that remains in place to this day.Since the Official Opposition has considerable advantages over the other parties not in government, Question Periods during the 35th Parliament were dominated by issues of Canadian unity. However, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien regarded Reform leader Preston Manning as his main opponent on non-Quebec matters. For example, in 1995, when <mask> garnered an invitation to meet visiting US President Bill Clinton by virtue of being Opposition Leader, Manning was also granted a meeting with Clinton in order to diffuse <mask>'s separatist leverage. <mask> was still serving in that capacity in Ottawa, and working closely with the provincial Parti Québécois to bring about the independence of Quebec, when he lost a leg to necrotizing fasciitis on December 1, 1994. 1995 referendum on sovereignty
In 1995, <mask> signed, as Bloc leader, a tripartite agreement with Parti Québécois leader Jacques Parizeau and Action démocratique leader Mario Dumont, which mapped the way to the referendum on independence. He was instrumental in convincing Parizeau to include a plan of association with Canada in the referendum question. He campaigned with the other two leaders for the "Oui" side.Quebec premier Jacques Parizeau first led the "Oui" campaign but, as support for sovereignty began to plateau, <mask> was given the official leadership. The referendum was extremely narrowly defeated by a

 majority vote of 50.58% to 49.42%. Not long before the 1995 referendum, <mask> drew considerable ire when he said on October 14, 1995, "We're one of the white races that has the fewest children." Liza Frulla, former Quebec culture minister commented, "We were shocked and hurt by Mr. <mask>'s various comments over the weekend. ... He is insulting our intelligence." Premier of Quebec
After the Yes side lost the 1995 referendum, Parizeau resigned as Quebec premier.<mask> was acclaimed his successor as leader of the Parti Québécois in January 1996, and was appointed premier of Quebec shortly afterward. On the matter of sovereignty, while in office, he stated that no new referendum would be held, at least for the time being. In 2014, <mask> revealed to Chantal Hébert that he had no plans calling for a referendum when becoming Premier. A main concern of the <mask> government, considered part of the necessary "conditions gagnantes" ("winning conditions" for the feasibility of a new referendum on sovereignty), was economic recovery through the achievement of "zero deficit". Long-term Keynesian policies resulting from the "Quebec model", developed by both PQ governments in the past and the previous Liberal government had left a substantial deficit in the provincial budget. <mask> led the PQ into the 1998 provincial election. He faced his former Cabinet colleague, Charest, who was now leader of the provincial Liberal Party.Although the Liberals won a narrow plurality of the popular vote, most of their margin was wasted on huge majorities in federalist areas of the province. As a result, the PQ suffered a net loss of only one seat, allowing it another term in government. As Premier,

 <mask> presided both over balanced budgets and a significant expansion of the province's social safety net with the implementation of a universal childcare system and pharmacare. During his time as Premier, <mask> refused to grant provincial funding to the Montreal Expos for a new stadium, which would have played a major role in helping the Expos stay in Montreal. <mask> said that he couldn't in good conscience authorize funding for a new sports facility when the province was being forced to shutter hospitals. Retirement

<mask> retired from electoral politics in 2001, and was replaced as Quebec premier by Bernard Landry. He stated that his relative failure to revive the sovereigntist flame was a cause of his departure, something for which he took responsibility.Others have speculated that the Michaud Affair, regarding allegedly anti-Semitic comments by Parti Québécois candidate Yves Michaud, was another factor favouring <mask>'s departure. He returned to practising law by becoming a partner at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg, where he specializes in commercial and corporate law. He serves as a negotiator, legal counsel and mediator in commercial matters and, occasionally, in labour-related disputes. He sits on the board of several private companies as well as organizations like the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, TC Transcontinental, Saputo Inc., Groupe BMTC and, until August 2021, TFI International. In April 2004, he helped launch the Centre for International Studies of the Université de Montréal (CÉRIUM), of which he is a board member. He served as President of the Quebec Oil and Gas Association from 2011 until 2013. After retiring as premier, <mask> avoided making public

 comments on politics until 2010, when he used a panel event celebrating the 100th anniversary of Montreal newspaper Le Devoir to contend that sovereignty was out of reach for Quebec.Although he still considered himself a sovereigntist at heart, <mask> argued that that sovereignty did not offer any solutions for Quebec. He also accused the PQ of being so fixated on independence that it had no solutions for the province's basic needs, and also accused it of pandering to xenophobic elements by taking a hard line on immigration. In response, several sovereigntists, including PQ leader Pauline Marois, accused <mask> of becoming one of the party's many belle mères, or "armchair quarterbacks." <mask> revealed in a 2014 documentary that the Bloc Québécois was only intended to last long enough to prepare the ground for the 1995 referendum. He believed its long duration weakened Quebec's influence within Canada by limiting the potential pool for federal cabinet ministers in successive Liberal and Conservative governments. He also averred that the 1995 referendum may have passed had it been part of a two-step process. In his view, there should have been a first referendum to give the government the authority to negotiate Quebec sovereignty with an economic and political partnership with Canada and a second to approve the results of negotiations.He blamed Parizeau's rejection of that approach for the referendum's failure.

On October 19, 2005, <mask> and eleven other Quebecers of different backgrounds and political aspirations published a manifesto entitled "Pour un Québec lucide" ("For a clear-eyed vision of Quebec"). The manifesto warned Quebec's aging population about the challenges the future poses, demographically, economically and culturally. It made a certain impression on the Parti Québécois leadership race of 2005, getting mixed reactions.It was well-received in other quarters, garnering praise on the editorial page of The Globe and Mail.
