  • Those Who Set the Stage to Understand the 1916 Rising and The
    3.0 Those who Set the Stage To understand the 1916 Rising and the motivation and points of view of the participants it is necessary to study the political, social, cultural and intellectual background. Most of the personalities reviewed in this section did not take part in the Rising - many of them were absolutely opposed - but all contributed directly or indirectly. Since the time of Parnell constitutional nationalists aimed at securing Home Rule, that is, a limited measure of self-government to be exercised through a parliament in Dublin. Following the general elections of 1910, the nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party led by John Redmond held the balance of power in the House of Commons, a position which enabled them to force Asquith’s Liberal government to address the issue of Home Rule for Ireland. The House of Lords was implacably opposed, but their power of veto over legislation was drastically curbed by the Parliament Act (1911). Faced with the prospect of Home Rule and an Irish parliament in which they would be outnumbered by Catholic nationalists, the Protestant Ulster unionists, led by Sir Edward Carson and James Craig, reacted strongly. In September 1912, over 200,000 men signed the Solemn League and Covenant pledging resistance to Home Rule. The following January, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) was established, a quota of 100,000 signatories of the Covenant soon being enrolled. In effect, the unionists established a private army to oppose the enactment or implementation of Home Rule - drilling was allowed provided it was authorised by two magistrates. 1 3.0 Those who set the stage When the government attempted to take action, fifty-eight senior army officers at army headquarters at the Curragh, Co.

  • The Argument of the Broken Pane', Suffragette Consumerism And
    1 TITLE PAGE ‘The Argument of the Broken Pane’, Suffragette Consumerism and Newspapers by Jane Chapman, Professor of Communications, Lincoln University School of Journalism, Campus Way, Lincoln LN6 7TS, tel. 01522 886963, email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Within the cutthroat world of newspapers advertising the newspapers of Britain’s Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) Votes for Women and The Suffragette managed to achieve a balance that has often proved to be an impossible challenge for social movement press – namely the maintenance of a highly political stance whilst simultaneously exploiting the market system with advertising and merchandising. When the militant papers advocated window smashing of West End stores in 1912 - 13, the companies who were the target still took advertisements. Why? What was the relationship between news values, militant violence, and advertising income? ‘Do-it-yourself’ journalism operated within a context of ethical consumerism and promotionally orientated militancy. This resulted in newspaper connections between politics, commerce and a distinct market profile, evident in the customization of advertising, retailer dialogue with militants, and longer-term loyalty – symptomatic of a wider trend towards newspaper commercialism during this period. Keywords: suffragettes, Votes for Women, The Suffragette, window smashing, advertisers, ethical consumerism, WSPU. Main text Advertisers ‘judge the character of the reader by the character of the periodical’ (George French, Advertising: the Social and Economic Problem, 1915) ‘The argument of the broken window pane is the most valuable argument in modern politics’ (Emmeline Pankhurst, Votes for Women, 23 Feb.1912). Introduction and contexts One of the great achievements of the many and various activist women’s groups in Britain was their ability – despite, or more likely because of the movement’s diversity – to maintain a high, if fluctuating, public profile for a sustained period in history.

  • The Death and Funeral of Edward Carson
    The death and funeral of Edward Carson Edward Carson had contracted bronchial pneumonia in June 1935 but by July he was out of danger. During this period Dr Charles D’Arcy, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, paid a visit to see his fellow Dubliner. Carson confided to the Primate, ‘I have seen much to shake my faith and what remains with me is no more than I learned at my mother’s knee: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son …”’. The Archbishop assured Ned, his old friend, that John 3:16 was ‘enough’. While Carson recovered, his health was nevertheless fatally weakened. By the early autumn his strength began to ebb away and at 8:00 on the morning of 22 October 1935 at Cleve Court, a Queen Anne house in the Isle of Thanet, Kent, Carson died. Carson had left no instructions in his will as to where he wished to be buried but in conversation with Lord Craigavon (as Sir James Craig had become in 1927) he had expressed a desire to be buried in the land, in Craigavon’s words, for which ‘he fought so long, so valiantly and so successfully’. In a broadcast the Prime Minister announced that the Northern Ireland Government would provide a state funeral and that Carson would be buried St Anne’s Cathedral. Craigavon introduced special legislation in the Northern Ireland House of Commons to enable the burial to take place in the Cathedral. The legislation passed through all its stages there and in the Senate in one sitting.
