title: Sir Anthony Meyer, 3rd Baronet

texts: <mask>, 3rd Baronet, was a British soldier, diplomat, and Conservative and later Liberal Democrat politician, best known for standing against Margaret Thatcher for the party leadership in 1989. His support for increased British integration into the European Union led to him becoming more marginalized in Thatcher's Conservative Party. Meyer joined the Pro-Euro Conservative Party in 1998 after being deselected as a Conservative parliamentary candidate for the 1992 general election. He became a member of the Liberal Democrats after that. Meyer was the son of Marjorie Amy Seeley and Sir Frank Cecil Meyer. His father was a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1924 to 1929 and was vice-chairman of the De Beers diamond company. His father was a Jew.His grandfather, <mask> Meyer, 1st Baronet, was born in Germany and migrated to Britain in the late 19th century, where he worked for the Rothschilds and De Beers before becoming Governor of the National Bank of Egypt. Meyer was educated at Sandroyd School and served in the war. He became the baronetcy at the age of 15 after his father died in a hunting accident. He joined the Scots Guards after one year at New College, Oxford, the same year he married, and they had one son and three daughters. During the battle for Caen, he was seriously wounded when the tank he was travelling in was hit, and he spent the next nine months on his back in hospital. He decided not to return to university after reading a lot to make up for his lost years at Oxford. He joined the Treasury where he worked on winding up the affairs of the Polish government.After passing the Foreign Service exams in 1946, Meyer was appointed to the British Embassy in Paris and became First Secretary in 1953.

texts: the party was at odds with Meyer's type of pro-Europeanism. There was an attempt by local party activists to replace Meyer with Beata Brookes when the boundaries of his constituency were expanded and redrawn. At a time when the Conservative Party's popularity was waning, 69-year-old Meyer put himself forward as the pro-European stalking horse for the leadership of the party. Meyer knew that one of the pro-Europeans would take over the role, but he didn't think he had a chance of success.He was derided as "Sir <mask>'isname" by the pro-Thatcher Sun newspaper, who reported that he was the only Conservative MP to oppose the use of force to win back the Falkland Islands. He was called "Sir Nobody" by the Daily Express. In the 1989 leadership election, Meyer was defeated by 314 votes to 33, but when spoilt votes and abstentions were added, it was found that 60 MPs had failed to support Thatcher. Thatcher was ousted in November 1990 to be succeeded by John Major, and Meyer said that people started to think the unthinkable. Meyer was deselected as a candidate for the 1992 general election by the party for his "treachery", by a 2–1 majority. A tabloid newspaper's revelation that Meyer had had an affair with a former model and blues singer made a difference in the deselection campaign. In 1998 Meyer became a member of the Liberal Democrats after defecting from the Pro-Euro Conservative Party.He was unsuccessful in his attempt to win the London seat in the European Parliament. He was a lecturer on European affairs until his death. Death Meyer died of cancer in December 2004, at the age of 84. <mask> succeeded his father in the baronetcy.

texts: <mask> was a Belgian-born South African artist and art teacher who achieved national and international recognition in his lifetime. Only eight of the eleven children that <mask> was born to survived infancy. His mother's maiden name was De Ridder, and the family was French-speaking despite its Flemish roots. He studied art at the Brussels Academy in 1924 under James Ensor, but halted his studies in 1925 for lack of funding, first working in a stained glass studio, then designing wallpaper, both of which are reflected in many of his works. He worked as a cartoonist, but also painted. He met Henri Matisse at an artist's supply shop in Cagnes, France, where he studied briefly under him in 1933. Thanks to the sponsorship of his older brother, Joseph Charles, he continued to paint and study full-time.He took a break in July 1939 after winning a scholarship and being commissioned by the Belgian Government to paint a painting expedition to the Belgian Congo. His travels and experiences there influenced him profoundly, and the visions and emotions of that period echoed through his work for the rest of his life. His wife and son fled the German occupation of Belgium in 1940 and joined him in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They moved to the South African Cape rather than return to war-torn Europe because Lucette could not cope with tropical conditions. Van Essche traded paintings and drawings for food and other essentials when he was in South Africa. He became a prominent member of the South African art community and exhibited in Europe as well. He contributed to contemporary art in South Africa as an active member of The New Group.He had a good knowledge of both modern art trends and the history of European painting which he passed on to his students as a teacher. He was a teacher at the Technical Art School. He left the University of Cape Town

He was unable to attend his own retrospective exhibition in Cape Town in 1974 because of his health issues.He missed Africa so much that he was painting African scenes while searching for local inspiration. Hippies and musicians were included in his new themes, but he destroyed much of the work. In contrast to the vibrant African scenes that flowed, his European landscapes are dark and depressed. His reputation grew as his oils continued to sell well in South Africa. He died of a heart attack in June 1977 due to poor medical care. In 1971 he left for Europe and settled in France.
