Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) & UK Uncut blockade Trafalgar Square - London, 18.04..2012
On 18th April 2012, around a hundred activists from Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Disabled Activists Network (DAN), Right to Work Campaign and anti-corporate tax-avoidance campaigners UK Uncut joined forces on 18.04.2012 to carry out a demonstration and acts of civil disobedience to protest against the ongoing savage cuts being made to disability benefits by the Coalition Government led by Old Etonian, ex-Bullingdon Club member and ex-PR man, prime minister David Cameron, who has overseen a concerted public attack on the weakest, most vulnerable members of British society - the sick, the disabled and the dying - who are seeing the welfare benefits they depend on to survive slashed at the same time as they have been publicly demonised and branded work-shy scroungers by a compliant right-wing press, in order to slash the welfare budget.
Congregating at Leicester Square, the activists marched down Charing Cross Road - stopping twice mid-way to bring traffic to a halt - and proceeded to Trafalgar Square where there was already an advanced party of activists armed with heavy chains and padlocks waiting for them, where they proceeded to completely block off two roads by chaining their wheelchairs to lampposts and railings on either side of the road.
Frustrated police eventually brought chain-cutters, but the protesters refuses to move from their positions, and at that point, beyond begging them to move, the police had to stand by and wait until the protesters decided - two hours later - to move. The protest caused massive traffic jams in Central London, causing much irate frustration amongst many drivers (as was to be expected), but generally there was a very supportive mood from the public when the reason for the protest was explained to them.

Back in the day we called these Revenue Cutters with the prefix HMRC. An extremely sort after posting. When Customs and Excise was absorbed into the Inland Revenue in pursuit of enhanced efficiency to become the HMR&C we know and love today the boats became plain Customs Cutters with the prefix HMCC. Subsequently the Border Agency was spun out of HMR&C and so they changed again to plain Cutters prefixed HMC. Of a Dutch design and build (Damen) in 2001 they were good for 26 knots when new with an endurance of 14 days or 1750 nm at 12 knots. HMC Seeker was first in a class of four and is ‘armed’ with a foredeck fire monitor.
Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.
Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.
Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.
Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.
Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.
The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.
With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.

The caste system still has an impact in India, where the glass ceiling is in full force. However, some artisans from lower castes can make a fair living at community work co-operatives.

The Postcard
An S.B. Series greetings postcard published by Solomon Bros. Ltd. of Graphic House, New North Road, London.
The card was posted on Wednesday the 21st. June 1916 to:
Mrs. W. H. Clarke,
3 Newby St.,
Wandsworth Road,
Clapham,
London SW.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Horrie,
Just to wish you many happy
returns and good luck.
So sorry I have not written
before I am rather busy now.
Have you heard from Will?
I owe him a letter I think.
When does he come home?
Elsie is coming to see you
tomorrow evening.
Love from all, Kate".
The Battle of Carrizal
So what else happened on the day that Kate posted the card to Horrie?
Well, on the 21st. June 1916, close to 100 United States Cavalry and militia loyal to Venustiano Carranza clashed at the town of Carrizal, Chihuahua, Mexico.
The battle resulted in 14 Americans killed, 39 wounded and 24 captured, with 27 Mexicans being killed and 11 wounded.
Joseph Bamford
The day also marked the birth in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire of Joseph Cyril Bamford CBE, British business executive and founder of the multinational JCB manufacturing company, manufacturing heavy plant.
Biography of Joseph Bamford
Joseph Bamford was born into a recusant Catholic family which owned Bamfords Ltd., an agricultural engineering business.
Joseph's great grandfather Henry Bamford was born in Yoxall, and had built up his own ironmongery business, which by 1881 employed 50 men, 10 boys and 3 women.
Bamfords International Farm Machinery became one of the country's major agricultural equipment suppliers, famous for its balers, rakes, hay turners, hay wufflers, mangold cutters, and standing engines, which were exported all over the world. The company eventually ceased trading in 1986.
After attending Stonyhurst College, Joseph joined the Alfred Herbert company in Coventry, at the time the UK's largest machine-tool manufacturer, and rose to represent the firm in Ghana.
He returned home in 1938 to join the family firm, but in 1941 was called up by the RAF to serve in World War II. Working in supply and logistics, he returned to the African Gold Coast, to run a staging post for USAF planes being ferried to the Middle East.
JCB
On returning home in 1944, Bamford initially worked for English Electric developing electric welding equipment in Stafford. A short return stint with the family firm proved too stifling, and his Uncle Henry released him, saying he thought:
"Joe has little future ahead of him."
After selling Brylcreem for a short while, in October 1945 Bamford rented a 10 feet (3 m) by 15 feet lock-up garage for 30 shillings (£1.50) a week, and made a farm trailer from scrap steel and war surplus Jeep axles, using a prototype electric welder bought for £2-10s (= £2.50).
He opened for business on the day his first son, Anthony, was born, and sold the trailer for £45 and a cart, which he also repaired and sold for another £45.
Having no interest in taking over rival businesses, Joseph's philosophy was:
"Focus on what you do best, be innovative,
and re-invest in product development and
the latest manufacturing technologies."
His strategy resulted in a series of market-leading innovations:
-- 1948 – Introduced the first hydraulic tipping trailer in Europe.
-- 1950 – Moved to an old cheese factory in Rocester, Uttoxeter, where the workforce totalled six.
-- 1951 – Began painting his machinery yellow.
-- 1953 – Brought out his breakthrough product, the backhoe loader.
-- 1957 – Brought out the "Hydra-Digga", incorporating the excavator and the major loader as a single all-purpose tool which was useful for both the agricultural as well as construction industry, which JCB grew with.
-- 1958 -- Bought ten motor-scooters with the number plates JCB1 to JCB10, to get their number plates to transfer to his firm's vehicles.
-- 1991 – Brought out the JCB Fastrac high speed agricultural tractor.
With exports to the United States beginning, profits increased from 1960 onwards. JCB won seven Queen's Awards for Exports as its sales spread to more than 130 countries around the world, while Bamford himself was appointed a CBE for Services to Export in 1969.
In 1993, he became the first British citizen to be honoured in the Association of Equipment Manufacturers Hall of Fame, and remained the only British inductee until his son Anthony was inducted in 2008.
Marketing
What made Bamford different from many engineers was that he was also a marketeer. Bamford personally demanded to know daily from his staff how many "JCB Yellow" vehicles were off the road awaiting spares. Bamford created an image that JCBs were there to work, and if an owner-operator's machine was down, then Bamford wanted to know about it—which gained him 95% of the owner-operator market in the UK.
Bamford placed a 12 V socket into the cab of his vehicles, and delivered the first 100 personally, arriving in his Rolls Royce with number plate JCB1.
One of the first Lear jets in Europe was purchased to fly in non-UK customers (the fleet has since got larger), who were met by another European first, a stretched Cadillac with the same number of seats as the jet. Bamford also conceived the "Dancing Diggers," whose 1999 display in Las Vegas stopped the gamblers.
Personal Style
A non-smoking teetotaller, who was so careful with his money that he claimed his wife still made their own curtains, Bamford worked from 09:00 until 23:00 every day. He saw his role in life to be like the Nonconformist Cadbury and Lever families.
He built Rocester along the lines of Bournville and Port Sunlight into an effective marketing home for the company, and an efficient production centre and a virtual "home" for his employees.
He saw no need to recognise trade unions. The Rocester works were surrounded by 10,000 acres (40 km2) of landscaped grounds in which his company's employees could shoot, fish, swim, and sail.
Bamford paid more than fair wages, which rose regularly, and annual bonuses based on reports of individual worth. In 1967 Bamford stood on a farm cart and handed out personal cheques totalling £250,000.
This extraordinary focus in return gave unprecedented levels of workforce flexibility, with the average JCB employee through the strike-dominated 1970's and early 1980's, being seven times more productive than the average British manufacturing worker.
Retirement
In 1975, Bamford left his wife Marjorie (née Griffin – married 1941), handed over the business to their two sons, and set up home with his secretary, Jayne Ellis, in Switzerland as tax exiles.
He continued to design both boats and diesel engines. Bamford was awarded the honorary degree of a Doctor of Technology from both Loughborough University in 1989 and Keele University in 2000.
The Death and Legacy of Joseph Bamford
Bamford died at the age of 84 in a London clinic on the 1st. March 2001.
At his death, JCB was the largest privately-owned engineering company in Great Britain, employing 4,500 people and manufacturing 30,000 machines a year in 12 factories on three continents.
JCB had revenues of £850m in 1999, earned from 140 countries.
Joseph's portraits by Lucinda Douglas-Menzies and Leslie Smithers (whilst he was still the head of his JCB empire) are in the National Portrait Gallery.
William B. Ruger
Also born on that day was William B. Ruger, an American inventor who developed the Ruger Standard firearm.
William, who was born in New York City, was co-founder of Sturm, Ruger & Co. William died in 2002.
