  Greater Britain Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greater Britain Movement was a political group formed by John Tyndall in 1964 after he split from Colin Jordan's National Socialist Movement.
Whilst leader of the GBM, Tyndall produced his Six Principles of Nationalism in which he broke from the national socialism of Jordan, and called for a parliamentary strategy towards a government that would be corporatist, racialist, and based on the principle of leadership.
A.K. Chesterton was impressed by the organisational skills demonstrated by Tyndall in the GBM, although he was also suspicious of his Nazi past, and so did not invite the GBM to join the National Front in 1967.

 Bystanders in Britain Unimpressed By the Euro
Britain is by far the most significant -- politically and economically -- of the four countries outside the euro zone; the others are Denmark, Sweden and Greece.
By this argument, Britain is missing out not just on decision-making about the currency of its main trading area, but also on a great opportunity for cheaper money in the low-interest-rate euro zone and cheaper trade in a vast region free of foreign exchange risks and costs.
Under Britain's electoral law, a national election need not be held until the year 2002 -- a date by which the rest of Europe will have completed the transition to using euro notes and coins and much of British business will already be conducted in euros.

 A Phenomenal Anti-War Movement? | libcom.org
The recent movement in the UK has a continuity with the movement against the bombing of Afghanistan in 2001,when there was again a network of local groups and a series of national demonstrations, which became smaller and more resigned over time as the activists eventually dropped out.
All the attempts to channel the movement in a 'radical' or particular political direction were dwarfed and lost in the sheer size of the protests, particularly the February 15th demonstration.
Indeed the movement dominated as it is by an organic middle class pacifism is one way that the class/value contradiction expresses itself at this time in the 'mode of being denied.' Just as the million who marched felt a need to respond to the barbarity of capitalist war so do we.

 The Industrial Revolution in Britain
As a result of this movement, an influx of unemployed farm workers was created, adding to Britain’s strong labor force in cities.
Britain obtained much capital from its many new international trading ventures with major nations, all largely dealing with the exchange of new and improved industrial machinery.
As Britain’s incoming finances grew and increased, citizens were able to move up the rungs of the social class ladder in British society, thus improving their financial and educational statuses.

 Movement toward greater democracy in Europe
By 1815, although Britain remained the oldest constitutional monarchy in Europe, only the upper classes were represented in the parliament, and only 5 per cent of the adult male population were eligible to vote.
The ultimate redistricting of Britain allowed MPs from new industrial cities such as Manchester, enabling the commercial and industrial bourgeoisie to have a greater voice in the parliament.
Compared with Britain, France underwent more dramatic changes, primarily because it was the seat of the French Revolution and people just had a deeper memory of it, and the promises of "liberty, equality, and fraternity" that they were taught to be within their reach.

 Manas: History and Politics, Quit India
T he 'Quit India' movement was followed, nonetheless, by large-scale violence directed at railway stations, telegraph offices, government buildings, and other emblems and institutions of colonial rule.
Others have suggested that the 'Quit India' movement was a failure in that it invited the government to unleash repression, and therefore led to the incarceration of the Congress leadership.
On these lines, then, it is suggested that the 'Pakistan movement' developed when there were no countervailing forces to check it, and that Gandhi played into the hands of both Muslim communalists and British imperialists.

 Arts and Crafts movement Summary
In the United States, the term Arts and Crafts movement is often used to denote the style of interior design that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or roughly the period from 1910 to 1925.
The Arts and Crafts Movement began primarily as a search for authentic and meaningful styles for the 19th century and as a reaction to the eclectic historicism of the Victorian era and to "soulless" machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution.
In fact, the proponents of the Arts and Crafts movement were against the principle of a division of labour, which in some cases could be independent of the presence or absence of machines.

 childlove movement - Anarchopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The movement seeks to eliminate legal and social obstacles to pedophilic activity, such as legislation criminalizing adult-child sexual activity; the classification of pedophilia as a mental illness; the public perceptions of pedophilia; and the use of the term "pedophilia" over the relatively unknown terms childlove and childlover.
Members of the movement often respond by claiming that high-profile child abusers were not members of the movement, or that the movement could have even helped them avoid crossing the line into abuse [22].
To date, the greater medical community remains unconvinced of the movement’s claims that adult-child sexual contact is not harmful in a high percentage of cases; no peer-reviewed study of actual psychological outcomes supporting the movement's view has been accepted by the greater scientific community.

 Westward Movement - MSN Encarta
After the United States defeated Britain in the American Revolution, the government of the new nation encouraged expansion even more than the British had.
Especially after the War of 1812, when peaceful commerce was reopened with Britain, the lure of new land for cotton drew settlers rapidly toward the Mississippi River and beyond.
Tecumseh, who had formed an alliance with Britain against the United States, was killed in 1813 when the British were defeated at the Battle of the Thames.

 The Archigram Movement
In this study, I hope to speculate on the political stance of the Archigram movement as a whole, and to analyse the extent to which Archigram may be said to reflect the political and social climate of post-war consumer culture in the West.
In 1960s Britain and America, car and home ownership were increasing, manufacturers found a new generation of consumers to appeal to in the realms of pop music and fashion, and the public and private spheres began to mingle to a greater extent than they had ever done before.
Another historical and political movement that bears a striking resemblance to certain aspects of Archigram is the Fascist anti-artistic society of the Futurists.

 Marxist Bulletin: Labour Movement on its Knees
One might have expected that such a movement of mourning for an aristocrat closely linked to the Royal Family, that (albeit briefly) mobilised millions of people would be universally looked upon by the Royalist establishment as a sign of mass popular enthusiasm for the monarchy.
Ironically, despite the reality of her privileged position, Diana was seen by many as a liberal dissident, and in some ways, as an anti-monarchy, anti-establishment figure by many of the most oppressed sections of this society, as reflected in the multi-racial, working class composition of the crowds.
If a political force is not built that can direct mass discontent into a genuine movement of the working class, and towards working class methods of struggle against capitalism, enormous amounts of energy can be wasted by the masses in pursuit of illusory goals.

The former was part of Mexico, and the latter was claimed by both the United States and Britain.

 HAMAS - The Islamic Resistance Movement
In its initial period, the movement was headed primarily by people identified with the Muslim Brotherhood in the territories.
The HAMAS movement also goes by several other names, which are used primarily to denote the semi-covert activity carried out by its supporters in the territories.
The movement's ideology (like that of its mother organization, the Muslim Brotherhood) attributes great importance to the giving of charity ("zekath", which is also one of the five basic principles of Islam).

 Robert Clancy / The Story of the Georgist Movement
He welcomed the change from what had previously been a "Henry George movement." Another feature of the trend in 1887 and after was that business men and forward-looking men of wealth were attracted to the movement, whereas thitherto George had been associated with mass labor movements.
The most serious internal trouble with the movement was that it had not developed any technique for increasing the number of adherents, or even holding steady.
I will not presume to survey the movement in other countries, but I believe it is true that the educational work forms a substantial part of the program in countries where there is a Georgist movement.

 Religious Movements Homepage: Rastafarianism
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.
Also, eight Lafayette, LA, children, whose Rastafarian values forbade them from cutting their dreadlocked hair, were recently allowed to reattend school after officials banned a school rule excluding "extremes in hair styles." According to the lawsuit, the family had been denied its constitutional rights of free expression and free practice of its Rastafarian religion.
This is a very informative essay that outlines the Rasta experience, the history of the movement, and provides an insight into the current status of Rastafarians in modern society.

 Religious Movements Homepage: Wicca
In Britain, it is fairly common knowledge that Gardner cobbled together ideas from many sources to create what has become a viable religious movement.
A point of controversy in the movement has been over which "traditions" are truly related, whether once iniated into a Gardnerian-based coven one is automatically entitled to material held to be initiatory secrets by another "line" of the movement.
However, it should be stated that growing numbers of people in the movement do not wish to be associated with beliefs which they view as serving to marginalize their religion.

 Lisa Sandlos - Laban Movement Analysis
Because movement can be mysterious and ephemeral, it is rare that most people take the time to consciously observe it.
A movement analyst can use this language to describe and interpret human movement from the gesture of a hand in conversation to the complex action of a skilled athlete.
Laban believed that movement of the body and of the mind is the basis of all human activity.

 National Socialist Movement (UK, 1962) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Socialist Movement was a British Neo-Nazi group formed in 1962 by Colin Jordan on Adolf Hitler's birthday as a splinter group from the British National Party.
The movement was effectively put on hold until Jordan was released from prison in 1963, when he assumed the leadership again.
The NSM was further weakened in May 1964 when Tyndall formed the Greater Britain Movement.

 Britain: Peugeot Coventry - The Fight Continues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
What this means in practice is not spelled out, but it could possibly mean fewer workers producing more cars at a faster pace on lower wages and the pay rates that have been achieved through years of struggle not being offered to new workers.
Sooner or later Peugeot workers and the trade unions will have to recognise that Peugeot-Citroen and the products they make belong to the workers, not the shareholders, as it is those who work in the plants that actually create the wealth through their labour.
On the basis of private ownership, of capitalism, that wealth is creamed off by the shareholders who are now demanding an even greater share of the wealth that is produced.

 Visiting Britain: A Sobering Experience
Of greater importance, it appears that Britain is starting down the same road as the U.S. and Australia, releasing violent mentally ill people back to society, rather than locking them up for treatment.
Every gun owner in America, even the single shot, fl powder shooters, needs to realize that the gun control movement is not going to stop when they have banned handguns, or banned semiauto rifles and shotguns, or restricted rifles and shotguns to licensed hunters only.
We are confronting a movement that finds guns of any sort distasteful, and will not stop until they have made guns either a complete monopoly of the government, or licensed the remaining guns so tightly that most Americans will never have a chance to own a firearm of any sort.

 Women's Suffrage
Although influenced by both the English and the U.S. woman suffrage movements, the Canadian movement did not develop a strong national organization or resort to the militant tactics of suffragists in Britain or the United States.
Although Ecuador had no woman suffrage movement, it was the first Latin American country to enfranchise women, with the restriction that voting was obligatory for men, but optional for women.
Women who have become cabinet officers, prime ministers, and presidents have generally not owed their electoral victory to women and, accordingly, have not felt obliged to respond to the interests of a female electorate or to appoint large numbers of women to public posts.

This generation gap is even greater in France, Germany and Britain, where older people are twice as likely as young people to be worried about erosion of their way of life.
Support for greater immigration controls also is widespread in Africa, Asia and Latin America, without the generational differences seen in Europe and the United States.
The age gap is equally wide in Britain and less pronounced in Germany and Italy.

 Britain and the Spanish Civil War
On the sudden outbreak of civil war in July, 1936, Socialist movements in all those European countries where they were allowed to exist immediately took steps to consider whether intervention should be demanded.
In Britain, although the Government was against intervention, the Labour Party had to face the strong demands from the rank-and-file for concrete action.
In 1936-9 Great Britain and other European and American countries were beginning to think in terms of the coming world conflict.

 Janet Biehl - From Movement to Parliamentary Party
They made sure the fundis--who constituted a minority in the Bundestag party caucus, although they were in fact the majority in the party membership--got unimportant committee assignments and used the resources, access to media, and legal power that were now available to them to promote their own positions.
Fortunately, the political choices that lie before today's ecology and democracy movements are not limited to entering into parliamentary statecraft and becoming coopted, on the one hand, and limiting themselves to direct action and thereby going without a broader political sphere, on the other.
In Britain, for example, a fight may be fought against the Tories' plans to further centralize Britain, while the devolutionary ideas that exist around Europe now may be built upon in order to begin to form a counterpower from below.

 Needed: A Global Survival Movement
Those are important, but given the economic forces we are up against, what is needed is a political and social movement the likes of which this country and world have never seen.
Another reason is the growing understanding within the peace movement of the connection between the war on Iraq, fought for oil and control of the oil-rich Middle East, and global warming.
And within the environmental movement a debate was re-opened in late 2004, having been raised over a decade ago by people of color activists, as to how it can become more effective, less policy-wonkish, more diverse, less white middle-class.
