Martin Bell, OBE, (born 31 August 1938) is a British UNICEF (UNICEF UK) Ambassador, a former broadcast war reporter and former independent politician. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tatton from 1997 to 2001. He is sometimes known as "the man in the white suit".
Bell is the son of author-farmer Adrian Bell, compiler of the first ever Times crossword. He is the brother of literary translator, Anthea Bell OBE and the uncle of Oliver Kamm, now a Times leader writer, who served as his political adviser during his term as a Member of Parliament (MP).

At Cambridge, he served on the committee of Cambridge University Liberal Club, including a term as Publicity Officer. He failed to obtain a commission during his two-year national service and served out his time as an acting corporal in the Suffolk Regiment serving in Cyprus during the emergency.
19/10/2007 - Martin Bell, maverick politician and one of the most distinguished foreign affairs reporters of his generation, talks about New Labour, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and spin. Bell was among the first modern journalists to make his name as a dedicated war correspondent. In 1997 he was elected to parliament as an independent after he campaigned on an anti-sleaze ticket. As a journalist Bell has reported from 80 countries and covered 11 conflicts. His assignments included wars in the Middle East, Nigeria, Angola and Rwanda, as well as the conflict in Northern Ireland. Winner of the Royal Television Society's Reporter of the Year award in 1977, and again in 1993, he was awarded an OBE in 1992. In his recent book The Truth That Sticks: New Labour's Breach of Trust Bell atta...
Let's make 6 May 2010 Independents' Day A message to Independent candidates and independent-minded voters. I am writing on behalf of the Independent Network, the organisation that helps Independents help each other. Independents have an unprecedented opportunity on 6 May to change the face of politics for good. The MPs' expenses scandal has discredited many individual MPs, the parties that allowed it to happen and the House of Commons itself. Many MPs with questionable expenses records have not been de-selected by their parties. It is up to the voters to complete the process. This is a time for Independents to challenge the politics of the status quo; it is a time for Independent councillors either to stand for Parliament themselves or to help in the campaigns of others; it ...
Martin Bell, former Independent MP for Tatton, reminds us that his success as an Independent MP in 1997 came because sleaze was rife in politics. He warns that sleaze is again on the increase and it's time the public did something about it.

"I have been heartened by the interaction between Independents and Greens, and their attempts to restore democratic process to the governing of Norfolk. I wish every Green and every Independent Councillor-candidate good luck, and I'm positive that there will be more Green Party and more Independent Councillors on Norfolk County Council after the voters have had their say on May 2nd." - Ian Gibson
During the 1990s, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia became a war zone. Political, religious, and historical reasons all played their part in this long, bloody conflict. BBC TV News sent many reporters , camera teams, editors, and facilities engineers into these war zones to report on the violence and suffering of the peoples of this region. Eric Powell was one of those brave & talented group of editors who travelled as pert of the BBC News teams reporing events, not only from war zones, but on stories from across the world. This film records his personal story of working in war-torn Sarajevo in particular. Others in BBC TV News team: Martin Bell, Justin Webb, Brian Hulse, Colin Jones, Sean, Vlad.
English/Nat The British Conservative MP at the centre of "sleaze" allegations won the first round of his battle on Tuesday to be re-elected to Parliament. Local Conservatives in Tatton voted to readopt Neil Hamilton as their candidate -- despite the "cash for questions" scandal he is embroiled in. The result will now mean a battle between Mr Hamilton and a BBC war correspondent, Martin Bell, who's standing as an "anti-corruption" candidate against him. Neil Hamilton's political future was at stake as he arrived for the vote in Chelford on Tuesday night. Even many of his own Conservatives are crying out for him to be dropped over allegations he accepted money for asking parliamentary questions. Local party activists crammed into a function room in a pub for the crucia...

Sing la la la
A sun sets in the horizon oh..
one dollar spark comin' down
she said phone me with the golden young silhouette
taste the mind, coming all around for her
You know I am looking at the red sky in her eye
Swallowing the sun and all the rivers running by
And when I'm looking at her white skin
Oh.. and I will come in, fevered up,
fever might then well begin
You're the one who said I could carry on
I know, but that was on the ferry oh...
Come on listen I'm standing
life is real
and we got time to kill
You're the one who said I could carry on
I know, but that was on the ferry oh...
Come on listen I'm standing
life is real
and we got time to kill
I know the fate is in the hands and my life's
becoming a romance but I still need a happy ending
You are still lovely but my mind is
far away for the summer
for the summer
And we were walking cross the field
where the farmers carried guns
but we decided not to die
Me and my lover where the hitchhiking couple
through the west
through the west
country, to the west
come on
You're the one who said I could carry on
I know, but that was on the ferry oh...
Give me some rope I'm not demanding
life is real
