STRADLING I Representation In a recent feature-film set in the Spanish War, a young scouser, Dave Carr — a generic working-class hero who embodies the wish-fulfilment of so many leftist writers — arrives at the Aragon front with a batch of new POUM recruits. Moving in single file up a hillside towards their trenches, they disturb a couple taking advantage of the fleeting absence of war in order to make love under a tree. The male section of this partnership turns out to be the leader of Dave's platoon — Pat Coogan, ex-IRA, dedicated enemy of Fascism and British Imperialism, as reckless in the passions of love as in those excited by political commitment and the heat of battle.

  • South Florida Trial Targets Ira 'Agents' Three Accused of Gunrunning
    The Miami Herald April 30, 2000 Sunday FINAL EDITION SOUTH FLORIDA TRIAL TARGETS IRA 'AGENTS' THREE ACCUSED OF GUNRUNNING BY DANIEL DE VISE In dimly lit Irish pubs across South Florida, passionate partisans are selling raffle tickets to pay court costs for the "political prisoners" they call the "Florida Four." Federal prosecutors take a less romantic view of the Florida Four, a quartet they accuse of running guns from Florida to the Irish Republican Army. Trial begins Monday in Fort Lauderdale for three natives of Belfast, Northern Ireland, charged with shipping more than 100 guns to the IRA from post offices in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach in boxes disguised as baby clothes and toy firetrucks. A Boca Raton woman, Siobhan Browne, who rounds out the Florida Four, will not go to trial. The former stockbroker from Cork, Ireland, pleaded guilty last month as part of a bargain that will likely see her take the stand to testify against the others. All of Great Britain will be watching the case, which threatened to derail a delicate peace in Northern Ireland when it broke last summer. The 2-year-old Good Friday agreement, a bid to end seven centuries of conflict, calls for the disarmament of the IRA. Few could have expected the battle for Northern Ireland to spill over into Broward County, a place unaccustomed to criminal defendants with brogues. "We will demonstrate at trial that this was an official operation of the Provisional Irish Republican Army," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Scruggs, referring to the branch of the IRA linked to a trail of political bombings and assassinations over the past 30 years.

Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

  • Suffragette City: How Did the 'Votes for Women' Campaign Affect London
    Suffragette City: How did the ‘votes for women’ campaign affect London 1906–1914? The UK campaign for women’s right to vote in parliamentary elections began in the mid-19th century. Campaigners used argument and debate to try to persuade the government. When this did not work by the beginning of the 20th century, new tactics were adopted. In 1903, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) was set up in Manchester. The WSPU aimed to adopt more militant (strong or more direct) tactics to win the vote. Their members later became known as Suffragettes. When the WSPU moved to London in 1906, the movement’s emphasis altered. From 1906–1914 the fight to win the vote became a public, and sometimes violent struggle that was very visible on the streets of the capital. Why did the campaign move to London in 1906? Moving the campaign to the streets of London made the WSPU more visible. It also meant they could hold major events that attracted lots of people and publicity. This paper napkin is printed with a programme for Women’s Sunday on 21 June 1908. This was the first big event organised by the WSPU. The centre of the napkin shows the route of the seven marches through London meeting in Hyde Park. Around the centre are portraits of the main speakers and the Suffragette leaders. Souvenir paper table napkin Napkins like this were produced for all large public events from Women’s Sunday, 1908 in London from the early- to mid-20th century. They would have been sold for about one penny by street traders lining the route of the event.
