BACKGROUND 1. The Tynwald Honours Committee was established in December 1998 following Tynwald approval of all of the recommendations of the Select Committee on Manx Patriots. That Committee recommended that the Tynwald Honours Committee be established to vet nominations for inclusion in a Manx Patriots’ Roll of Honour for deceased persons and that: Any recommendation made by the Committee should be subject to the approval of a majority of the whole of Tynwald sitting in public and voting as one body. 2. The recommended criteria for inclusion on the Manx Patriots’ Roll of Honour are: (1) before the name of any person is recommended for inclusion in the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour that person must be shown to have disinterestedly or self-sacrificially exerted himself or herself to promote the well-being of the Isle of Man; (2) no living person be considered for inclusion in the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour; and (3) inclusion in the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour be not restricted to persons born in the Island or of Manx parentage. 1 3. The Roll of Honour was duly established and the names of those on it are at Annex A. 4. In December 2002 the Select Committee on the Reduction of Standing Committees of Tynwald recommended that Tynwald be empowered to confer honours in its own right and that the Tynwald Honours Committee make recommendations about the awarding of honours to living Manx persons to Tynwald Court. 5. Recommendations setting out the criteria for the awarding of the Honour, the procedure for nomination of potentially suitable persons, the process for approval of such nominations and the procedure for presenting the Honour were set out in a report and approved by Tynwald Court in July 2005. The Tynwald Honour was first awarded in 2007 and the names of the recipients since then are at Annex B. II. NAMES OF INDIVIDUALS PROPOSED FOR ADDITION TO THE MANX PATRIOTS' ROLL OF HONOUR 6. This year the Committee has chosen to focus on the 150th anniversary of the House of Keys Election Act 1866 in considering possible additions to the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour. A short history of the events leading to this legislation being enacted may be found in Annex C. 7. For each nominee we reviewed the biographical information set out in Annex D with reference to criteria set out in paragraph 2 above. 8. Manx born Robert Fargher was a relentless campaigner for democratic elections. A journalist he founded the Mona’s Herald in 1833 and was imprisoned on several occasions for his views. 9. James Brown came to the Isle of Man in 1846, in his early 30’s, he worked as a journalist and in 1861 he founded the Isle of Man Times. He consistently challenged the unrepresentative nature of the House of Keys. He was famously imprisoned by the Keys for libel in 1864 but released after it was ruled that the Keys did not have the powers to sentence him. 10. Samuel Norris moved to the Isle of Man when he was 19 and became a reporter with the Manx Sun. A vocal proponent for institutional reform, including that of 2 the Island’s legal and legislative systems he founded the Manx Reform League in 1903. He was jailed in 1915 in connection with his campaign for rates relief for tourist businesses. In 1919 he was elected to the House of Keys where he served three terms before moving to the Legislative Council. A lifelong campaigner many of his constitutional ideas were adopted following the MacDermott report in 1959. 11. We agreed to recommend that Robert Fargher, James Brown and Samuel Norris be considered for inclusion in the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour with regard to their contribution to electoral and constitutional reform. Recommendation 1 That Tynwald approves the following for inclusion in the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour: a. Robert Fargher (1803-1863) b. James Brown (1815-1881) c. Samuel Norris MHK MLC (1875-1948) III. THE FORM OF THE MANX PATRIOTS' ROLL OF HONOUR 12. We have considered previous recommendations regarding the way in which the Manx Patriots’ Roll of Honour should be presented and have noted that while the previous recommendation regarding a display within the Precincts of Tynwald has been completed, those regarding a Roll of Honour Book, commemorative plaques, presentation of a memento to the family, where appropriate, and inclusion on the Tynwald website have not. 13. The Chamber and Information Service are currently redrafting the information on the display screen in the Finch Road entrance of Legislative Buildings and have been asked, as part of this work, to ensure that a more detailed record of each recipient is included within a dedicated section of the Tynwald website. 14. With respect to a more permanent, commemorative Roll of Honour we explored options in relation to the previous recommendations of having a book and plaques. 3 15. We felt that a commemorative book was no longer a necessity as publishing the information on the Tynwald website offers a far more flexible and accessible way of providing easy access to the information, both in the Legislative Buildings and elsewhere. 16. We did however consider that a permanent, commemorative Roll of Honour was still a requirement and so we looked at the options for plaques. We found that, whilst possible, these may be difficult to locate and would require a long term maintenance commitment. So we discussed other options. 17. We concluded that a Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour Board located in a prominent position, for example at St Johns, would be a fitting alternative which would be easier to update and maintain in the long term. Recommendation 2 That Tynwald approves the creation of a Manx Patriots’ Roll of Honour Board, prominently located, as an alternative to commemorative plaques. IV. COMMEMORATING TYNWALD HONOUR RECIPIENTS 18. When considering a Roll of Honour Board we discussed the commemoration for Tynwald Honour recipients. In the past it has been assumed that Tynwald Honour recipients will be added to the Roll of Honour when they die. 19. We felt that the awarding of the Tynwald Honour is similar but separate and discussed how this may be commemorated. 20. We agreed that a separate Tynwald Honour section on the Tynwald website with information about each recipient would be appropriate for providing information; and further that a Tynwald Honour Board located close to the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour Board would be a suitable commemoration. Recommendation 3 That Tynwald approves the creation of a Tynwald Honour Board, prominently located close to the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour Board. 4 V. CONSOLIDATED LIST OF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation 1 That Tynwald approves the following for inclusion in the Manx Patriots' Roll of Honour: a.

Of Demolition and Reconstruction: a Comparative Reading of Manx Cultural Revivals Breesha Maddrell, Centre for Manx Studies, University of Liverpool Abstract This paper accesses Manx cultural survival by examining the work of one of the most controversial of Manx cultural figures, Mona Douglas, alongside one of the most well loved, T.E. Brown. It uses the literature in the Isle of Man over the period 1880-1980 as a means of identifying attitudes toward two successive waves of cultural survival and revival. Through a reading of Brown's Prologue to the first series of Fo'c's'le Yarns, 'Spes Altera', "another hope", 1896, and Douglas' 'The Tholtan' – which formed part of her last collection of poetry, Island Magic, published in 1956 – the differing nationalist and revivalist roles of the two authors are revealed.
  • Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests

    Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests

    Celtic News Archive 1996 - 2002 Celtic League halts dangerous weapons tests - 24-05-96 This week, the Celtic League successfully frustrated secret UK MOD attempts to start tests on countermeasures for so called "smart weapons". We argued the tests would pose a danger to ships and aircraft in the Irish sea area. The MOD initially would neither confirm nor deny our claims (then good sense appears to have prevailed). The tests at Aberporth missile range in mid Wales have now been deferred for a month. The League argued that the technology aimed at disabling Global Positioning Systems, on which the smart weapons depend, could pose a danger to others such as commercial ships, fishing craft and aircraft which use the systems. We set out below (in lay man's terms) detail to back up that argument. GPS is a vital component of modern navigation: It aids accurate navigation, geographic measurement of islands in the ocean, life saving and the control of rockets. Its pinpoint accuracy makes it a vital component of so called smart weapon technology which was demonstrated to such devastating effect during the Gulf War. GPS was originally a project of the US military which built the system of 24 satellites which span the world. Since 1990 the technology has been available for civil use and this enables a wide range of users to determine accurately the position of ships, land vehicles or aircraft. The GPS satellites rotate around the the earth in an elliptical orbit at an average height of 20,000 km. Eight satellites are "visible" at any one time in an intersecting orbital pattern.
