A Brief History of London’s Speakers’ Corner | Speakers Corner Trust Speakers’ Corner – a Poster by Peter Carey ©Tfl from the London Transport Museum collection Nearly 3,000 years ago, Homer wrote in The Iliad that “to speak his thoughts is every freeman’s right.” But it is only in recent times that that right has been articulated in the declarations and conventions of the United Nations and European Union and in the statutes of modern states. While Britain’s constitution remains famously unwritten (and it was only in 1998 that Parliament formally adopted its own Human Rights Act), this country has had a tradition of respect for freedom of speech and the right of assembly which has not only shaped its own democracy but has also inspired and continues to influence the development of others. One of the most powerful symbols of that tradition is to be found on a parcel of land which lies roughly between the site of the old Tyburn gallows and the Reform Tree in London’s Hyde Park. In the end the Government had to bow to popular pressure. Other Resources

Audio mp3 of Address Video Purchase click for pdf [AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio. (2)] Mr. Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Hostilities exist.

Plaintes Posté par Marie-Anne Paveau Le 17/11/2012 @ 20:55 Dans 09. [1]Nous avons tous autour de nous des plaintifs, qui occupent une part de leur discours à la plainte. Pratiques du thrène Pour se plaindre, il faut parler. Dans l'Iliade, ce sont les morts de Patrocle et d'Hector qui sont les objets des thrènes décrits par le texte de l'épopée : Ils ramenèrent le héros dans sa noble demeure Et le placèrent sur un lit sculpté. Mais le thrène et son interprétation musicale survivent à l'époque moderne puisqu'un Thrène à la mémoire des victimes d'Hiroshima [7] est composé en 1960 : Et les formats de discours contemporains, ceux qu'offrent le web par exemple, sont également mobilisés par l'expression de la plainte : sur Twitter, on trouve des comptes particulièrement "plaintifs", la forme brève autorisant une plainte brève, poétique ou poétisante, sûre de trouver son écho parmi les centaines ou milliers d'abonnés, et donc au moins un retour consolant.
