  • October 2019 PAPER 6: BRITISH POLITICAL HISTORY SINCE 1880
    1 October 2019 PAPER 6: BRITISH POLITICAL HISTORY SINCE 1880 Sources clockwise from top left: United Ireland, The British Library, Jeff Johnston, Tony Withers, Imperial War Museum. FACULTY READING LIST AND LIST OF CORE AND SURVEY LECTURES Between 1880 and the beginning of the twenty-first century, the United Kingdom became a full political democracy based on universal suffrage, and witnessed major party-political realignments as well as the rise of social rights, identity politics and new non-governmental movements. The UK also experienced civil war (in Ireland, 1916-1923 and in Northern Ireland from 1972 to 1998), total war (in 1914-18 and 1939-45), and the loss of a global empire. Throughout the period there was a vigorous debate on the role of the state and the freedom of the markets in a globalized and deeply unequal economic system. This 1 2 was accompanied by struggles over what it meant to be a citizen of the United Kingdom and who had the right to belong. All had profound political consequences, although these have not always been immediately obvious. The party system and much of the constitution remains in place, parliamentary democracy has survived the challenges of Fascism and Communism apparently unscathed, and politicians have spent much of the past hundred years congratulating themselves on the country’s remarkable capacity to ‘return to normal’ in the aftermath of major crises. Many recent or on-going political controversies, such as devolution, the future of the House of Lords, or Britain’s relationship with Europe have obvious parallels with late Victorian debates.

  • 1983 Jan 4 the 'Advertiser' Takes a Look Forward and Back
    1983 Jan 4 The ‘Advertiser’ takes a look forward and back - In February Thorn Lighting paid off 56 workers to reduce the workforce to 215. Mr Charles Brown, manager, said that there were no signs of improvements and the most that they could forward to was for the factory to continue at its present level. The FMA owned Herd & Mackenzie shipyard paid off 16 workers, of all trades, at the beginning of December to reduce the workforce to 76. The firm was presently working on a 75-foot seiner/trawler but had no further orders. Ian Sinclair, manager said that they would need another two orders to retain the same size of workforce over the next 18 months. Jones’ Shipyard do not have a boat to build at present but with repairs they are just able to tick over and are hopeful of receiving an order in the near future. The electrical firm of Thain and Davidson were considerably more upbeat when they were approached. During the past year the firm had won and started work on several major contracts including the electrical installation of a 60-bed unit at Montfield Hospital in Lerwick costing £300,000. They also gained a £100,000 contract for electrification of a new bulk fuel installation at RAF Kinloss. Brian Davidson who became the sole owner of the firm in July said that during the year they had been able to take on five apprentices since we are fairly well off for work and it is fine to have been able to provide some employment.
