Republicanism in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Republicanism in the United Kingdom is a movement in the United Kingdom which seeks to remove the British monarchy and replace it with a republic that has a non-hereditary head of state. The issue of whether the British head of state should be a monarch or president is of little or no concern to them. Although England became a constitutional monarchy, with the restoration of Charles II after the time of Cromwell, there have been movements throughout the last few centuries whose aims were to remove the monarchy and establish a republican system. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/British_republican_movement   (2599 words)

British Freemasonry Covets Israel At the same time, a million British troops, badly needed in the trenches of Europe, were sent marching to Palestine to oust the Ottomans. In fact, the British finagling led straight to the Holocaust, which Mason Winston Churchill refused to prevent or disrupt, right to the next attempt at a Holocaust called the Oslo Peace Accords, which began with a meeting in London in November 1992 between arch-criminals Beilin, Hirshfeld and Pundak and members of the outlawed PLO. The British Freemasons and their Jewish quislings managed to do the bidding of the British, to the point of joining them in an attack of Egypt in 1956. www.rense.com /general28/brit.htm   (1877 words)

British Suffrage Movement In Great Britain the woman’s suffrage movement roughly paralleled that of the United States, but in the movement's later stages more vigorous and violent tactics were often employed. In subsequent years the woman-suffrage issue was kept before the British public by a succession of liberal legislators, among them the statesmen and social philosophers John Stuart Mill, John Bright, and Richard Cobden. Prominent among the anti-feminists of the period were the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria and the British prime ministers William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli. www.edenbridgetown.com /ethics/reference/interest/sufferage.shtml   (389 words)

The British Suffragette Movement His thoughtless words infuriated his audience, and "by those foolish words the militant movement became irrevocably established, and the stage of revolt began."6 The younger suffragettes realized that the polite methods previously used by the older generation were achieving nothing. It was at this point that the (as yet unorganized) women's suffrage movement split into two major factions, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), led by Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter Sylvia. The main effect of World War I on the suffrage movement was that "women's contribution to the war effort was seen and appreciated"33; instead of being insulted for wanting to take part in government, women were praised for being patriotic. welshcommunists.co.uk /suff.htm   (1812 words)

ANGLO-ISRAELISM; BRITISH ISRAELISM; WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD However, British Israel writers developed the belief that these "ten tribes" were able to retain their identity and cohesiveness, became lost to history, and wandered far from the Middle East. British Israelism was quite popular during the ascent of the British Empire, but quickly lost favor as the Empire was converted into a Commonwealth of Nations. British Israelism formed a main part of the foundation of Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God. www.religioustolerance.org /anglo_is.htm   (454 words)

JAMI'AT-UL-ULAMA-I-HIND - Basically a movement for religious nationalism. Notwithstanding the failure of Khilafat movement and collapse of Ottoman Empire of Turkey in 1924, which sent a shocking wave to Ulama, the JUH marched along its ambitious political course, which was not identical with Indian National Congress' unitary democratic polity. Liberation of India from 'un-Islamic' British rule was though one of the agenda of the JUH, it was never intended to liberate the Muslim mass from their radical religious bondage and allow them to develop secular, democratic and scientific outlook to compete in the modern world. Islamic revival movement, the JUH also generated competitive communalism in Indian society particularly among the Hindus and the on going conflict between Muslim communalism and political Hindutva as we see today is therefore the natural outcome of their Islamic communalism, which they are carrying since the days of freedom struggle. www.saag.org /papers6/paper586.html   (3627 words)

From Abolition to Equal Rights (John Bull and Uncle Sam) The multiple movements for moral and humanitarian reform, which swept through the United States in the first decades of the nineteenth century, are a prime example of the strength of the anglicizing impulse in American life. The woman suffrage movement evolved over the course of the nineteenth century simultaneously with the power and prestige of the American nation, which by the end of the nineteenth century approached the power and prestige of Great Britain. This volume by the British Quaker anti-slavery crusader, Elizabeth Heyrick (1769-1831), is said to have been the first publication in the Anglo-American world to advocate the immediate, unconditional abolition of slavery in the West Indies. www.loc.gov /exhibits/british/brit-4.html   (2144 words)

History of the British abolitionist movement by Lord Peter Archer Between 1787, when the pioneers of our Movement formed the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, and 1807, when Parliament abolished slave trading in British ships and by British subjects, a new science was invented. The British taxpayer was compensating the slave owners for their wickedness. But that Movement itself was split, and the splits were reflected among the British who became involved. www.anti-slaverysociety.addr.com /huk-history.htm   (2023 words)

Religious Movements: British-Israelism/Anglo-Israelism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes. Upon the death of Wilson in 1871, a new leader of the British-Israelism movement emerged in Edward Hine. Writers of British-Israelism contend that the Stone of Scone, which the British use in the coronation of their kings and queens, is the same stonethat coronated King David in Israel. religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu /nrms/britisrael.html   (2131 words)

Politics of British Documentary by William Guynn The British movement is of interest to us because the British documentarists took the wrong road—leading them artistically to mediocrity and politically to class collaboration. National movements in India, Egypt, and the East were further indications that England was rapidly losing its position as the metropolitan and industrial center of its empire. In contradistinction to the Communist strategy—“workers of the world, unite”—the social democratic British Labour Party attempted to link the destiny of the British working class with that of the British bourgeoisie by promulgating the notion that the capitalist state was reformable and could be forced to act in the interest of the proletariat. www.ejumpcut.org /archive/onlinessays/JC06folder/britDocPolitics.html   (5060 words)

The Anti-Apartheid Movement: Though we were often described as a negative movement, we put a high priority on not only exposing the system of colonial and racial domination in South Africa, but on supporting the liberation struggle through humanitarian support programmes, including scholarships and the provision of legal defence and aid for political leaders and their families. Yet even when British governments were at their most hostile to apartheid – as during the Wilson and Callaghan Labour governments of the 1960s and 1970s – politicians were always stronger on the rhetoric of opposing apartheid when they were out of government than actually doing anything about it when they were in power. But a movement which is capable of maintaining a popular impetus while mobilising its expert knowledge is a brilliant combination, and the AAM is one of the distinctive ones of that kind. www.anc.org.za /ancdocs/history/aam/symposium.html   (21561 words)

Women's suffrage movement The word "suffragette" was first used to describe women campaigning for the right to vote in an article in a British newspaper in 1906. After that the movement began to wage guerrilla warfare, orchestrating systematic window-smashing and arson attacks. The suffrage movement suspended its activities, the government released all suffragettes from prison, and the Pankhursts and others threw themselves into supporting Britain’s war effort. www.tchevalier.com /fallingangels/bckgrnd/suffrage   (516 words)

British Labour Movement It begins with the debate on Trotskyism in the British Communist Party in 1924 and ends with the break-up of the Revolutionary Communist Party in 1949 and the beginning of more than thirty years of work within the Labour Party. The purpose of this history of British trade unionism is not only to recite the wrongs inflicted on working people, or simply to describe their heroic struggles. It is an attempt to draw out the lessons of the events that helped shape the Labour movement, and made it what it is. This is a book that sets out from the proposition that the interests between capital and labour are incompatible and takes sides in the war between the classes. www.marxist.com /british-labour-movement.htm   (479 words)

41. THE ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT IN BRITISH GUIANA Some of the supporters of the anti-slavery movement established the London Missionary Society in 1796 with the aim of sending missionaries to teach Christianity, initially to Africans in Sierra Leone (in West Africa) and in the British colonies in the Caribbean from 1807. Their combined pressure along with the efforts of the growing abolition movement eventually assisted in the passage of the Abolition Bill (to end the slave trade) in 1807. But since the British Parliament had requested that slaves should be given religious instruction, the plantation owners, despite their opposition, were obliged to allow it. www.guyana.org /features/guyanastory/chapter41.html   (663 words)

Middle East Documents Balfour Declaration However, the declaration did not fall as a bolt from the blue, but was rather the culmination of a long tradition in Britain that supported restoration of the Jews to their own land for philosophical, religious and imperialistic motives. The British Zionist movement began actively lobbying the British government in their cause, and during the early years of the war found a sympathetic advocate in Mark Sykes, who professed an interest to liberate the 'downtrodden people of the world' including the Armenians, Arabs and Jews. That is, as noted, the British believed, without much foundation, that "the Jews" were influential in Bolshevik Russia and likewise that Jewish financiers controlled untold wealth that could be put at the disposal of the allies or the Central powers depending on which government would support a Jewish state or national home in Palestine. www.mideastweb.org /mebalfour.htm   (3829 words)

British Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It grew out of the National Socialist Movement which was founded by Colin Jordan in 1962, reconstituting itself as the British Movement in 1968. Support for the British Movement grew at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 80s when the National Front fragmented. A group calling itself the British Movement has continued to operate since McLaughlin wound up the initial BM and attempted to act as a rallying-point for Nazi-Skinheads (although this role was later filled more successfully by Blood and Honour). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/British_Movement   (398 words)

History of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement This concern was part of a movement of support for freedom for Britain's own African colonies and of opposition to racial discrimination at home. The Movement for Colonial Freedom (MCF) campaigned for African and Asian independence; Christian Action, headed by John Collins, Canon of St Paul's Cathedral, collected funds for anti-apartheid leaders on trial in South Africa; and the Committee of African Organisations (CAO) gave a platform to exiled politicians from all of Anglophone Africa. In 1959 the Boycott Movement was formed from an initiative of South Africans who were suffering under apartheid, which was taken up by people in Britain. www.anc.org.za /ancdocs/history/aam/aamhist.html   (1846 words)

HIR | Understanding the 'Palestinian' movement Clearly, then, the British were going quite out of their way, and flexing their every muscle, to transform Arab politics in such a way that those extreme anti-Jewish racists who also attacked fellow Arabs with terrorism ended at the top. The British reaction to this violence, after they put it down, was, once again, to punish the Jews, and in 1939, right before the Holocaust was to begin, they sharply restricted Jewish immigration to ‘Palestine’ and committed themselves to creating an independent Arab state in ‘Palestine’ within ten years. The British were not less opposed than the Arabs to the creation of a Jewish state, and apparently equally keen on exterminating the Israeli Jews. www.hirhome.com /israel/pal_mov4.htm   (9726 words)

Arts and Crafts Movement - Introduction William Morris, the British poet, artist and architect rejected this opulence in favor of simplicity, good craftsmanship, and good design. In both Britain and America the movement relied on the talent and creativity of the individual craftsman and attempted to create a total environment. In contrast, the American movement drew inspiration from the materials, choosing to highlight the grain of the wood or the form of the pot. anc.gray-cells.com /Intro.html   (373 words)

Britmovie: British Documentary Movement Internationally, the documentary movement is frequently identified as Britain's major contribution to world cinema, while domestically its influence on both the aesthetics and the institutions of cinema is regarded as decisive. Michael Balcon extended the influence of social realism when he claimed the patrimony of the documentarists for Ealing: 'More and more,' he said, the feature film 'makes use of characters and action arising out of contemporary problems, such as were handled by the documentarists: labour problems, class problems, problems of psychology. It is the mythology of the documentary movement, a mythology which Grierson promoted, which has formed the decisive critical discourse in British film culture rather than an attentiveness to the films themselves. www.britmovie.co.uk /history/bdm.html   (494 words)

Last check: 2007-10-06) A truly British movement: to introduce Apollo's special number devoted to the Arts and Crafts, Peter Cormack explores the movement's national identity and questions the internationalism of the exhibitions currently at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Most importantly, the idealism of this most idealistic of art movements would have to be powerfully evoked, something only achievable by giving as much prominence to people as to artefacts. In addressing the question of the Arts and Crafts as a 'social movement', one is immediately confronted by the seemingly paradoxical position of William Morris, who while being its chief progenitor was also unexpectedly sceptical about its aims. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0PAL/is_518_161/ai_n15950177   (908 words)

UCB Media Resources Center Exhibit: Reel Life Stories: The British: 1929-1945 Many of the films associated with this movement were sponsored by British Governmental agencies, such as the Empire Marketing Board and the General Post Office, as a way of publicizing the work of these agencies and promoting national pride and unity. John Grierson launched the British Documentary movement in 1929 with his film Drifters, in which he filmed the work of the herring fishing fleets. The film is a stirring, poetic account of the operation over the course of a single day and night of the Royal Mail train delivery service, and shows the various stages and procedures of that operation, and interactions between workers and management. www.lib.berkeley.edu /MRC/reellife/british.htm   (336 words)
