Anti-Apartheid News March 1971. Page 2 ACTION -NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL Britain Surrey AAM v Powell 'TE SURREY Anti-Apartheid Movement have laid a formal complaint about Enoch pvwell's immigration 'nightmare' speech at Carlhtton on February 15. Only the Attoraey-General, Sir Peter Rawlinson.can decide whether Powell should be prosecuted. The Surrey AAM claims that Powell's aeech was intended to create hatred b. tween different sections of the community here'. Their secretary, David Oldham, stated that they understood Powell to have said that he wanted to send only coloured people back to where they had come from. I' Heis saying nothing about the Americans the Canadians, the Australians and the other white immigrants who come here', he pointed out. David Oldham said that Powell's speech had to be viewed in the context of a situation where unemployment was heading for Ithe one million mark, where there was industrial unrest resulting from'the government's Industrial Relations Bill, and where the government was .intending to send arms to South Africa, and to do a deal with the Smith regime. All these tended to heighten racial tension, he stated. The Sutton branch of the Anti-Apartheid Movement had mounted a picket for Poweil's Carslsallon speech. The 200 people on the picket included members of the local Labonr, Liberal and Communist parties, local trade unionists and churchmen. About so members of the National Front were on the opposite side of the road. TGWU THE TRANSPORT and General Workers Union has taken swift action to warn its u membersagainst the Johannesburg Corporation's attempts to recruit British bus drives to work in South Africa. In a statement to the press tle Union said 'Out union could give the South African gove p rnment many examples of how bs services can be operated harmoniously by bus workers of different raes and colours. But we are certainly absolutely opposed to British bus workers being used to fill jobs apparently that the whites 'in South Africa do not want and other workers are not alno'ed to heve simply because of the colour of their skin' A STRONG resolution opposing white minority domination in Southern Africa has been set down for the Scarborough confererne of the Transport and General Workers Unio, which is being held from July 12-16. lue resolutionwhich is being put forward l 1 Branch 1128 of the TGWU, condemns .n by the British government and British companies which enables this domination to continue. The sale of arms to Suluth Africa is specifically mentioned in this connection. Tie motion also calls for the union to render moral and material assistance to the freedom fighters who are fighting in Mozamljique. It appeals to union members ,ot to transfer work to Southern Africa,and" in particularto refuse to work on the CaboraBassa dam site. Barclays THERE HAVE been moves within both the trade union and community relations fields against Barclays Bank's involvement in the Cabora Bassa dam project and in Southern Africa generally. THE ASSOCIATION of Cinematogrnph, Television and Allied Technicians (ACTT) have removed their deposit account from Barclays. They bank with the Co-operative, but had been using Barclays as a clearing S house. The decision was taken because of Barclays role in Southern Africa. THE LEEDS branech of the Association of Broadcasting Staff has set down a resolution for the annual meeting of the ABS at the end of April, condemning the BBC/for continuing to bank with Barclays. It has also urged members to switch banks if they hold Barelays accounts. THE NEWHAM International Community have urged the Community Relations Commission to transfertheir account from Barclays to a bank 'not associaed with racialism'. NIC officer Jerry Westall confidently expects support from other community relations councils. The Commission receives an annual grant of £395,000 from the Home Office. Ita chairman, Mark Bonham Carter, said, 'Wir have always had perfectly satisfactory service from Barclays, but this criticism will be brought to the attention of the Commission'. UEA STUDENTS at the University of East Anglia portested against recruiting visits by three companies, two of which are helping .ts build the Cabora Bassa dam in Mozambique, last month. They were ICL which owns 42.7 per cent of African Explosives and Chemical Industries, the South African firm which is supplying explosives for the dam; Guest Keen-and Nettlefold, which has set Up a factory in Mozambique in the hope of winhisig supply eontracti lo the project; and GEC-Engiu tElectric which led one of the thcee consortia that bid for the Cabora Basso main contract. Swansea ANTI-APARTHEID groups in the Swansea area have been active in the last two months. Swansea University Anti-Apartheid group demonstrated against the Immigration Musi, stre of the State of Victoria, Australia, when he visited Swansea. They distributed leaflets protesting at Australia's racialist immigration policy and drawing attention to the growing alliance between Australia and South Africa. Members of the Wet Wles Anti-Apurtheid group held a placard parade through the centre of Swansea protesting against the governmenta plans, to sell arms to South Africa.

Trade unionists, students and local activists heard John Getsewe, the London representative of the South African Congress of Trade Unions, outline the hazards facing African trade unionists in South Africa. Philip Whitehead, MP fon Derby North admitted that Labour's record on Southern, Africa was by no means clean. In an attack of Conservative government policy, he argued that it was only the strength of the organised Labour Movement that could stop the delivery of British arms to South Africa. Roger Trask, the Anti-Apartheid Movement's Field Officer, put suggestions for action. It was agreed that activity should be directed through the Leeds Anti-Racialism Committee.

  • LOST HOSPITALS of LONDON (Adapted from )
    LOST HOSPITALS OF LONDON (adapted from http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/ ) Teddington Memorial Hospital Hampton Road, Teddington, Middlesex, TW11 OJL Medical Dates: 1875 – current Medical character: Acute. Later, community The Teddington and Hampton Wick Cottage Hospital opened in 1875 in a house – Elfin Grove Villas – which had been donated for the purpose by Thomas Chappell, of the music publishing and piano manufacturing firm. The Hospital had four beds. Its income, apart from subscriptions and donations, was raised by various activities, such as fetes, bazaars, concerts and plays. In-patients were charged one shilling (5p) a day towards their keep. By 1914, although the number of beds had increased to 24, the population of the area had grown and this bed accommodation had again become inadequate. With no further possibility of expansion on the site, a fund-raising campaign began to raise money for a new hospital on a new location. However, the outbreak of WW1 caused the plans to be postponed. After the war the Hospital Committee began to explore potential sites in 1919; it was intended that the new hospital would also serve as a War Memorial. Fund-raising began in earnest and a piece of land was acquired in Hampton Road for £2,000. The vendors also donated £1,000 towards the building fund. A magazine called Our Town was published in 1924 to raise money for the fund; this was renamed Swan and Stag in 1925 and was published annually until 1934 (the magazines are apparently available in the Twickenham Library, while the swan and the stag became the emblem of the Hospital).

Thomas Hood. As we grow older our memories become more precious to us, and most vivi dly we recall the turbulent years of our adolescence, our hopes and fea rs, our loves and hates, our triumphs and our failures. Memories of school days at Michaelhouse are unique for each individual, b ut the photographs and stories in this book, reflecting each decade of th e school's hundred years, will, we hope, evoke for every old boy a pleasa nt feeling of nostalgia. Each reader can people the familiar places with his own contemporaries and the staff of his day. Yesterday evening, Sunday 14th May, 1995, I was roaming around the estat e. Autumn leaves carpeted the ground and the setting sun bathed the vall ey in a romantic rosy glow. I felt nostalgic. As I passed by the chapel I thought of Charles Hannah making his annual visit and hopefully 'final ' farewell sermon. None of us cared to hear for the umpteenth time the o ld man's reminiscences, including how he had walked round the Oval with Canon Todd deciding where each tree was to be planted. Passing through t he passage way, where the staff nowadays collect their post from their p igeonholes, I remember it as the entrance hall of the Rectory, and I rec all dinner parties in these rooms which are now offices, Fred and Margar et Snell our gracious hosts.

  • No Vacancy: the Political Geography of Immigration Control in Advanced Industrial Countries Jeannette Money
    No Vacancy: The Political Geography of Immigration Control in Advanced Industrial Countries Jeannette Money This article examines the domestic political sources of immigration control in ad- vanced market economy countries after World War II.1 Immigration control can be distinguished from the broader concept of immigration policy by its emphasis on state policies that define the permissible level of resident alien admissions.2 The analysis is based on the well-established fact that immigrant communities are geo- graphically concentrated. I argue that this geographic concentration creates an un- even distribution of costs and benefits, providing a spatial context for immigration politics. In this context, net public demand for tighter immigration control increases in localities where immigrants concentrate when those areas experience higher unem- ployment, rapid increases in immigration, higher immigrant proportions, and more generous immigrant access to social services. Each of these conditions aggravates competition between immigrants and natives, and hence native hostility, in these communities while employer support for immigration usually diminishes. Yet na- tional politicians may ignore changes in the demand for immigration control unless these constituencies are also able to swing a national election from one party to another. The larger and less ‘‘safe’’ the local constituencies, the greater their influ- ence in this sense. Evidence from the United Kingdom between 1955 and 1981 is consistent with these propositions. I would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Center for International Relations at the Univer- sity of California, Los Angeles; the faculty senate of the University of California, Davis; the Center for German and European Studies (CGES) at the University of California, Berkeley; and the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation at the University of California, San Diego.
