I feel somewhat sorry for Eugene Delacroix. His romantic era painting of ‘Liberty Leading the People’ is one of the finest examples of History painting. However, what it represents is usually forgotten. The painting’s dramatic feel has made it a symbol of French revolutionary liberty, and the 1789 revolution. Yet, this is wrong. What Delacroix painted was the July 1830 revolution. This important French Revolution is typically brushed aside because of its more famous predecessor.

John Gartside·Follow3 min read·--The main reason why many people simply brush over the field of historiography is because they don’t really know what it is. This is quite inevitable, as it isn’t a very simple or easy thing to define. However, allow me to do my best. Historiography is the study of how historians study history, i.e. the many sources or artefacts which historians use to understand the past.

Steve UnwinSpokesman on Home Affairs, Political Reform and Local Government Since they rebranded in 2021, Reform UK have fought 18 Parliamentary by-elections and have achieved a miserable average vote share of just 3.8% (as of 21 February 2024). The combination of dropping out in “Conservative” seats on the eve of the 2019 General Election followed by rebranding from the Brexit Party has been a disastrous failure.

If you value the British Countryside then you must stand up and support the farmers who not only produce some of the finest food in the world but who maintain our beautiful landscapes and against all the odds do their best to maintain biodiversity. Why do I say against the odds? Because at all turns farmers are inhibited in their labours by some government regulation. British Farming is on its knees.

Donald MacKayUKIP Scotland In the week when the daughter of a terrorist is elected First Minister of Northern Ireland and her equivalent in Holyrood is on record as saying that there are too many white people in Scotland it is gratifying to see that a panelbase poll in the Sunday Times revealed that 26 per cent of Scottish voters regarded devolution as a failure. We then might ask which party will represent the anti-devolution sentiment thus expressed.

Antony NailerUK Independence Party Spokesman for Energy, Environment, Transport and Treasury Tata Steel has announced it will be dismantling its two coking coal fired blast furnaces at the Port Talbot plant and replacing them with electric arc furnaces. Unfortunately, the electric arc furnaces can only work on scrap steel and cannot produce steel from iron ore. It will also cause the loss of up to 3000 workers.

Donald MacKayUK Independence Party Spokesman for Education and Religion The revelation that asylum seekers are professing a conversion to Christianity in their attempts to enter the UK strikes a new low in our national humiliation. That such assertions seem to be taken seriously adds to the farcical nature of this development and exposes the vacuity of those who govern us and their inadequacy at protecting their own citizens from invading criminals.

Neil Hamilton Leader - UK Independence Party Traditionally, Christmas is the season of goodwill. But Christian charity is stretched to the limit when we look at the collection of incompetents, shysters and liars masquerading as Her Majesty's Government and Loyal Opposition. The Westminster political class has failed us at every level:* taxes higher than any time since 1949. * the national debt doubled since 2019 (it is now nearly 100% of national income).

Antony NailerUK Independence Party Spokesman for Energy Let me get this straight, an illegal immigrant who has not contributed to this country in any way, that had all his needs catered for; clean, warm, secure accommodation, a free laundry service, specialist food and drink provided free, medical and dental needs provided, spending money and free legal advice, decided to commit suicide and the far-left wing and liberal Human Rights advocates go into terminal melt down.
