    CAROLINE WEATHERILL MEMORIAL LECTURE 2014 A LITANY OF EXHUMATIONS 1 As you will all be aware the wall between heaven and hell which was liable to be maintained jointly fell into disrepair. St Peter asked the Devil to contribute to the cost of the necessary repairs but the Devil refused to pay anything. St Peter said to him if you don`t agree to contribute we will sue. Oh, said the Devil, and where are you going to find a lawyer. It may well be that the Isle of Man Law Society had a similar difficulty in finding a lawyer. So you have me. 2 It is an enormous pleasure to be asked to speak to you today and to do so in memory of Caroline Weatherill who died so tragically in 2006, shortly after giving birth to twin daughters. She was only a young woman and it was a life that was far too short. She had been admitted as an advocate in 1997 and during her articles had married Lawrence. She had quickly established herself as a very effective, well motivated and doughty advocate. She was a delightful funny and clever woman and had well-deservedly earned the respect of colleagues and clients alike. She will continue to be missed and mourned by her family and by a great many people who had good reason to be glad of and be grateful for her life. 3 Last year`s speaker was Lord Neuberger. Unfortunately I could not come but I note that he stayed at Government House and that there was a magnificent dinner for him there.

  • Manchester's Radical History How Hyde
    7/1/2021 Manchester's Radical History – Exploring Greater Manchester's Grassroots History Manchester's Radical History Exploring Greater Manchester's Grassroots History NOVEMBER 30, 2013 BY SARAH IRVING How Hyde ‘Spymasters’ looked for Commies on BBC Children’s Hour By Derek Paison Salford born folk singer and song- writer Ewan MacColl is remembered today more for his music than his agit-prop plays. But it was his political activities before the last war and his membership of the Communist Party that led to MI5 opening a file on him in the 1930s and why they kept him, and his friends, under close surveillance. Secret service papers released by the national archives, now in Ashton-under-Lyne central library, offer a clue into how British intelligence (MI5) spied on working-class folk singer Ewan MacColl and his wife playwright, Joan Lilewood, who lived at Oak Coage on Higham Lane, Hyde, Cheshire, during World War II. MI5 opened a file on James Henry Miller (MacColl’s real name) in the early 1930s when he was living in Salford. As an active Communist Party member, he had been involved in the unemployed workers’ campaigns and in the mass trespass of Kinder Scout in Derbyshire. Before enlisting in the army in July 1940, he had wrien for the radio programme Children’s Hour. In Joan Lilewood’s autobiography, she writes: “Jimmie was registered at the Labour Exchange as a motor mechanic, but he did beer busking, singing Hebridean songs to cinema queues. Someone drew Archie Harding’s aention to him and from that time on he appeared in the North Region’s features (BBC) whenever a ‘proletarian’ voice was needed.” As a BBC presenter for Children’s Hour and Communist Party member, Lilewood also came under the watch of MI5.

  • Prison Riots
    PRISON RIOTS 1990 Strangeways Prison riot Prisoners protesting on the badly damaged roof of the prison. Paul Taylor is in the centre with his arms outstretched. The 1990 Strangeways Prison riot was a 25-day prison riot and rooftop protest at Strangeways Prison in Manchester , England. The riot began on 1 April 1990 when prisoners took control of the prison chapel , and the riot quickly spread throughout most of the prison. The riot and rooftop protest ended on 25 April when the final five prisoners were removed from the rooftop, making it the longest prison riot in British penal history. One prisoner was killed during the riot, and 147 prison officers and 47 prisoners were injured. Much of the prison was damaged or destroyed with the cost of repairs coming to £55 million. The riot sparked a series of disturbances in prisons across England, Scotland and Wales , resulting in the British government announcing a public inquiry into the riots headed by Lord Woolf . The resulting Woolf Report concluded that conditions in the prison had been intolerable, and recommended major reform of the prison system. The Guardian newspaper described the report as a blueprint for the restoration of "decency and justice into jails where conditions had become intolerable". [] Background Manchester's Strangeways Prison , which opened in 1868, was a "local prison" designed to hold prisoners from the surrounding area, mainly those on remand or serving sentences of less than five years. [1][2] At the time of the riot, the main prison consisted of six wings connected by a central rotunda known as the Centre.
