National personification

The UK has Britannia. France has Marianne. The US have Uncle Sam. National personifications, summing up supposed collective qualities and passing on a message, both to citizens and foreigners alike. Instantly recognizable by just about anyone. To be found everywhere, from city halls (busts, frescoes, tapestries) to subway walls (Army conscription posters - of course it rings a bell!).

Romania has this:

This is Revolutionary Romania, as seen by C.D. Rosenthal, an Austrian painter who found both friendship and an avid clientele among the Romanian young rebels who tried and failed to overthrow the corrupted Ottoman rule, in 1848. Following them in exile and probably also spying on their behalf, Rosenthal was finally arrested in Budapest and tortured to death by the Imperial authorities: a normal occurrence in troubled times. His memory went on and on and on, because the same friends were soon to come back home and become ministers, bankers, newspaper owners: a modern democracy slowly emerged.

This is his most famous portrait and it quickly became our Britannia of sorts. Ceaușescu had it placed in his office, for inspiration - it did not help much, though.

The woman painted by Rosenthal holds the red, yellow and blue flag and is dressed in a Southern peasant costume, as it was worn at the time. She gazes with strength, determination and confidence towards a future that spells free press, parliamentary elections, industrialization and capitalist speculation. In real life, she is Maria Rosetti, a personal friend and sponsor of his. The wife of C.A. Rosetti, an authentic Prince of Genoese and Greek stock, one of the leaders of both the rebellion and the future Liberal Party. Also a many times removed relative of this blogger - but let's not insist. 😉

There is a catch, however, in all this fine and dandy story. Our national personification, the woman I just mentioned, is Scottish. Her life begins in Guernsey in 1819, as Marie Grant, the daughter of Captain Edward Grant, a ship-owner businessman and member of the Clan Grant of Carron and Spey and Marie La Lacheur, a French Huguenot woman.

These people, who fought as Jacobites at Prestonpans and Culloden and whose motto was 'Stand Fast':

Marie came to Wallachia, or what is now the Southern part of Romania, around 1837, following her younger brother, Effingham Grant, who just managed to find a lucrative job as the private secretary of another Scot (Glaswegian, even), Robert Gilmour Colquhoun, the newly appointed British Consul-General. At the time, these were long term postings, not unlike a long sojourn on a space station of sorts: Colquhoun remained in Bucharest from 1835 to 1854, when he eventually was posted to Bosnia.

Because she needed to support herself, Marie found a well paid live-in job as a governess for the family of Ion Odobescu, a high ranking Police honcho (also a far removed relative, this time on my maternal grandmother's side - the world is really, really small). The rest was easy enough: having met Rosetti through her brother, they fell in love, eloped to Plymouth and got married there, for what was to become a life long equal political and business partnership. Because they owned several newspapers, she is our first female journalist. A truly remarkable woman, a philanthropist and an indispensable voice advocating for the dispossessed. Effingham went on to establish the biggest foundry in the country, along with a real estate company, a tobacco manufacture, an orchid greenhouse and a bread factory - all prospered beyond any expectations. A heavy traffic steel bridge in Bucharest still bears his name. Enduring legacies.

For those brave enough or bored enough to look for more, here is the best detailed account on her I could find, based on Guernsey sources (but not only): https://www.priaulxlibrary.co.uk/node/386 .

OK, what with the coronation coming up, I've seen quite a few posts about the UK, by people who don't quite understand the difference between the UK, Great Britain, England and so on.

Which is fair enough, because it is a bit complicated.

So here's some explanation.

The British Isles is a whole bunch of islands, but the main ones are those two big ones, Great Britain and Ireland.

Great Britain is divided into three countries: England, Scotland and Wales.

The island of Ireland is also divided. The northeastern six counties make up Northern Ireland, which is also sometimes referred to as Ulster, although the traditional province of Ulster is somewhat larger.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the larger country of the United Kingdom, a sovereign state. The full name of the state is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but that's a bit of a mouthful, so generally it's the United Kingdom or the UK.

"Britain" can be used to mean either the island of Great Britain or the UK as a whole. Anyone from the UK is a British national (a Briton or Brit), although many Scots, Northern Irish, and some Welsh don't describe themselves as British because of their political position. There's a strong Scottish independence movement, and the situation in Ireland is complicated, to say the least.

It's very important to remember that England is not the same as Britain, Great Britain or the UK. It is merely part of it. A lot of people use England interchangeably with the broader terms, but this is wrong. Try going to Scotland and saying it's part of England and see how long it takes to get a smack in the face.

The rest of Ireland is an entirely separate country, a sovereign state in its own right. Its official name is simply Ireland, but it's often referred to by its official description, the Republic of Ireland (RoI) for clarity. It can also be called by its Irish name, Eire.

It's not unheard of for the Republic to be referred to as Southern Ireland, but this can cause a lot of offence, and in any case, it's by far the larger part of Ireland and actually reaches further north than Northern Ireland.

King Charles III has the title of King of the United Kingdom. The title King of England is archaic and hasn't actually been used for centuries. He is the sovereign of the UK and has nothing to do with RoI.

There are lots of smaller islands that are part of any of the five countries above, but there are also some more islands just to be confusing.

The Channel Islands aren't even in the map above, because they're closer to France, but they're often grouped in with the British Isles. The largest two, Jersey and Guernsey, are separate countries (Guernsey has some even smaller islands within its territory). They're what's left of the ancient Duchy of Normandy. There's also the Isle of Man, also called Mann, between Great Britain and Ireland.

These three are NOT part of the UK. They are Crown Dependencies, which means they essentially belong to the King, but have seperate governments. The UK has sovereignty over them though, and is responsible for their defence and representation internationally.

The UK and the Crown Dependencies are also legally known as the British Islands (not Isles, as this includes all of Ireland), but no one really uses this except in important international treaty stuff.

See? Perfectly straightforward...

[ukrfeminism]

The number of women dying during pregnancy or soon after childbirth has reached its highest level in almost 20 years, according to new data. Experts have described the figures as “very worrying”.

How many women are dying?

Between 2020 and 2022, 293 women in the UK died during pregnancy or within 42 days of the end of their pregnancy. With 21 deaths classified as coincidental, 272 in 2,028,543 pregnancies resulted in a maternal death rate of 13.41 per 100,000.

This is a steep rise from the 8.79 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies in 2017 to 2019, the most recent three-year period with complete data. The death rate has increased to levels not seen since 2003 to 2005.

Where have the figures come from?

The data comes from MBRRACE-UK, which conducts surveillance and investigates the causes of maternal deaths, stillbirths and infant deaths as part of the national Maternal, Newborn and Infant Clinical Outcome Review Programme (MNI-CORP).

MNI-CORP aims to improve patient outcomes and is funded by NHS England, the Welsh government, the health and social care division of the Scottish government, the Northern Ireland Department of Health, and the states of Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man.

Why are so many women dying during or just after childbirth?

The main cause of death was thrombosis and thromboembolism, or blood clots in the veins.

The second most common cause was Covid-19. But even when deaths due to Covid were excluded, the maternal death rate for 2020 to 2022 – 11.54 per 100,000 pregnancies – remained higher than the rate for 2017 to 2019.

Heart disease and deaths related to poor mental health were also common, according to a review of the data by the Guardian.

Why is the mortality rate increasing?

The researchers behind the data project, led by Oxford Population Health’s national perinatal epidemiology unit at the University of Oxford, highlight several issues.

They say maternity systems in the UK are under pressure but also point to pre-pregnancy health and the need to tackle conditions such as obesity, as well as critical actions to work towards more inclusive and personalised care during pregnancy.

Is there any good news?

Not really. The maternal death rate among black women decreased slightly compared with 2019 to 2021, but they remain three times more likely to die compared with white women. Asian women are twice as likely to die during pregnancy or soon after compared with white women.

Are there other factors aside from health?

Absolutely. Women living in the most deprived areas of the UK have a maternal death rate more than twice that of women living in the least deprived areas.

Persisting ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities show the UK must think beyond maternity care to address the “underlying structures” that impact health before, during and after pregnancy, such as housing, education and access to healthy environments, said Dr Nicola Vousden, co-chair of the women’s health specialist interest group for the Faculty of Public Health.

Are deaths during pregnancy only increasing in the UK?

No. Maternal death rates are rising in many countries, yet this alarming trend has not been seriously addressed by governments and healthcare systems worldwide.

Rates have doubled in the US over the last two decades, with deaths highest among black mothers, a study in Journal of the American Medical Association found. Indigenous women had the greatest increase.

It is difficult to compare precise death rates between countries because the data is not uniform. But other countries seeing substantial rises in rates include Venezuela, Cyprus, Greece, Mauritius, Puerto Rico, Belize, and the Dominican Republic.

What can be done to reverse the trend?

Urgent action is needed to bolster the quality of maternal healthcare, ensure it is accessible to all, and repair the damage inflicted by the pandemic on women’s healthcare services more generally.

Clea Harmer, the chief executive of bereavement charity Sands, said improving maternity safety also needs to be at the top of the UK’s agenda.

The government said it was committed to ensuring all women received safe and compassionate care from maternity services, regardless of their ethnicity, location or economic status.

Anneliese Dodds, the shadow women and equalities secretary, said Labour would seek to reverse the “deeply concerning” maternal mortality figures by training thousands more midwives and health visitors and incentivising continuity of care for women during pregnancy.

NHS England said it had made “significant improvements” to maternity services but acknowledged “further action” was needed. It has introduced maternal medical networks and specialist centres to improve the identification of potentially fatal medical conditions in pregnancy.

idk if it's useful but here's a quick thing explaining the mess of 'british' stuff because it really is a mess and can be super confusing

UK / The United Kingdom / The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - actual name of the country occupying nearly all of the isles (and currently the longest name of any country in the world), which is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

England, Wales (Cymru), Scotland (Alba), and Northern Ireland (Tuaisceart Éireann, or Norlin Airlann) are all 'countries' within the UK, but aren't countries in their own right. England is where the UK capital and parliament is located. There is no 'English' parliament as it's the UK/umbrella parliament, but Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have their own capitals and parliaments with some devolved powers.

(The Republic of) Ireland / Éire - the country occupying most of the island of Ireland. NOT part of the UK. Not British.

Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and the Bailiwick of Jersey - 'self-governing possession of the British Crown'. They're not part of the UK, apart from sometimes when laws happen? Unsure. Guernsey and Jersey aren't even next to the UK, they're by France (and called the Channel Islands). I don't know enough to say more. They're usually forgotten about.

Britain - used to refer to the UK (but probably best to use 'UK' if that's what you mean)

British - used to refer to people who live in the UK*

Great Britain - will be used in things like the Olympics team (Team GB) but Great Britain is a geographic term, referring to the largest island of the British Isles

The British Isles - the geographic name for the collection of islands separated from mainland Europe by the North Sea and English Channel, extending up to and including the Orkney and Shetland Islands. Should very probably be renamed for obvious reasons.

British Islands - an umbrella term for the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey that's not really ever used by regular people, just adding it because it does exist and the Isles/Islands similarity doesn't help matters.

*If someone is from the UK, it should be okay to call them British (they'll correct you if they prefer to be called something else - some people from Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland might prefer to be called British instead of Welsh Scottish, or (Northern) Irish).

If someone is from the UK, do not call them English unless they've told you that they are.

London is the capital of the UK, as well as of England. If you're writing 'London, England' but would write 'Paris, France' in the same place if you were talking about the capital of France, it's best to use 'London, UK'.

Also these are contemporary terms, not all of them can be applied to historic situations/writing for varying reasons. In a few years this might be outdated anyway.

#my biannual sit-down to try and articulate the whole mess that this place is #not sasrh stuff #i really hope this is helpful #doing my best to explain for anyone who is curious

Coming Soon: UK Rock Superstars Tournament!!!!

From the makers of March Madness of American Rock Bands and America's Greatest Rock Stars (namely, me Liamofthemountains), comes the UK Rock Superstars Tournament!!

The tournament will begin on Monday, May 22nd. (I need a little break from moderating tournaments). Please follow this account if you're not already and reblog this post to spread the fun.

Until then, please use the submission form to nominate UK rock acts for the tournament.

I will accept nominations for any act from the UK that can reasonably fall under the most-generous definition of "rock" as long as they have commercially-released recordings of their music

there are five slots on the submission form but feel free to start a new form and nominate as many UK rock acts as you like

that being said, please don't submit that same rock act more than once as I'm hoping to use the nominations in the initial seeding

this tournament will include solo artists, bands, groups, duos, collectives, et al competing against one another

make sure the bands/artists are from the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) or Crown Dependencies (Guernsey, Jersey, and Isle of Man)

bands/artists from the Republic of Ireland will not be part of this tournament (they fought a war for independence after all), but Irish-born artists who moved to the UK for their careers will be accepted

Have any questions or concerns? Feel free to send me a message or ask.

Wait where are you from? :o (unless that's confidential)

I'm from Guernsey, a teeny tiny little island in the English Channel!!! We are NOT a part of the uk we have our own government but we're only marginally better tbh. UH. Some fun facts:

Victor Hugo wrote some of his books here, including parts of Les Mis. His old house is a museum now

We have multiple old medival-ish era castles still up and in pretty good condition and my band have played gigs in two of them!

we have the second nicest cows in the world (scotland has us beat on that one)

I did also live in Canada for about five years!

#this DID send twice I'm considering answering the second one with some entirely made up answer lmao

[krisinthefalklands]

It Begins...

"I've applied for a school in the Falklands", Sara tells me. ".... Huh!? Oh? Right... OK", this comes as a bit of a shock to me, we've previously spoken about the possibility of us returning back up north, where the quality of life is better than where we currently are, just outside of 2023's Worst Place To Live, Luton, and where the cost of living is significantly cheaper, but at the same time, I was also somewhat unsurprised, Sara has always had itchy feet (I'm talking about a desire to travel, not a long undiagnosed skin condition) and was ready for a new school to teach at.

We'd previously visited an island with a small population for her to attend an interview weekend, where partners were also invited, and please, do read the next bit in air-quotes, with as much sarcasm as you can muster, "but partners aren't being interviewed, just invited so they can get a feel for the island", sure Jan... and just days before the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown measures were introduced in the UK, we visited the tiny island of Sark in the Channel Islands.

Not only is Sark a tiny island, it also has a tiny population of about 500 people, where people are outnumbered by the sheep, and the coastline is frequented by funny looking black and white birds (just remember this information for later) as puffins can be spotted on the sheer coastal edges of the island in Spring.

During our time on Sark, when Sara wasn't preparing a lesson to give to her potential future class, we went up and down their bustling high street, avoiding the local traffic of tractors, horse and carts and bicycles...there are no cars allowed on Sark (despite how much my friend Victoria keeps suggesting that if you squint, you could mistake a sports car for a small tractor), not that you would need a car given the size of the island! We also had a lovely curry at the seigneur's home with the other candidates, headteacher of the school and his wife, and a few local residents, including the locum GP, who I may have landed in hot water when I was "absolutely not being interviewed" by the island's vicar and his wife.

The current seigneur of Sark is the delightful Christopher Beaumont, the 23rd person to take up the mantle, a former officer in the British Army, but despite his highfalutin sounding status is down to earth, and happy to chat away with visitors to his beautiful gardens, especially about his newly installed solar panels and electric tractor (the first of it's kind on Sark!)

Sadly, it wasn't to be for our dream of a few quiet years on Sark, and we returned to empty streets, loo roll shortages and queues outside supermarkets, as we took our singular government approved walk of the day. Life moved on, just day after day after sodding day. The more things changed, the more things stayed the same.

There were other attempts to move to Sark, the teacher who did get the job decided it wasn't for them and returned to mainland UK. I guess choosing small island life requires a certain kind of hardiness, pig headedness and a desire to be part of a small community who will know everything about you after a certain amount of time. We have those qualities (we hope), but again, the job was offered to another applicant.

So after a couple of attempts of moving to one small island, and it not being successful, I pessimistically assumed it would be the same here, Sara would go for the interview, impress the panel, but there would just be that one sodding person with a smidge more experience, who would get the job and leave us stuck on rainy Brexit island.

The big day came, Sara set off to London for the interview, you see, whilst for Sark they flew us to Guernsey and then put us on the cute little ferry to the small island, the Falklands is a 16 hour flight across the Atlantic, and a bit far to go for an interview, so the interview panel came to the UK, at Falkland House, the Falkland Islands London address, where you can visit to discuss all manner of things, so long as those questions are about the Falkland Islands. Of course, things didn't go smoothly, as her tube decided to stop in the middle of a tunnel between stations, unable to contact the office to say she was delayed as this was a line that did not yet have 4G signal installed throughout, but she did make her interview in the nick of time, and on exit was told she'd hear back within a week.

At this point my pessimism had kicked in. They had clearly given the job to someone else, and we were doomed for another year in the London commuter belt. Another year of eating fish fingers whilst watching Pointless. Another year of breathing in the polluted air from the main road we lived next to. Another year of...

"ring ring¹"... Sara's phone is ringing, it's a +500 number from The Falkland Islands... I listen in...

"Hi, is that Sara?", asks the caller, she confirms, and the voice on the other end replies, "Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, when we arrived we needed to have a week to rest from the exhaustion of flying and to have a think about the candidates we saw. We were really impressed with your"... I could sense the "but", again, I'm a pessimist by nature... "and we'd like to offer you the position of class teacher at the Infant and Junior School starting in September" - for once, my natural glass half empty, cheery outlook on life, was unfounded.

I went to Tesco to get cake to celebrate the news, although the choices were rubbish and I came back with mini Millionaires Shortbread bites rather than actual cake, but now we had to let it sink in that we were going to have a very big journey ahead of us.

What follows is that journey²...

¹it didn't actually go "ring ring", we're millennials and as such our phones are permanently on mute, and just went "vvvvvvb vvvvvvb" but that would have looked like a cat walked across my keyboard if I'd put that.

²It's worth noting up to now, this has mostly been about Sara's journey, but from hereon this will be a shared journey

INDIE 5:0 - 5Q'S WITH MARYEN CAIRNS

Introducing the fabulous singer-songwriter Maryen Cairns!

Maryen is based in Guernsey and is well known for her allegorical folk-pop style which has delighted fans around the world, as well as gaining critical acclaim.

Her music career spans the last three decades, and includes the release of seven solo albums under the mentorship and guidance of esteemed music producer Chris Kimsey (of Rolling Stone), as well as collaborations with Fish, the former lead singer of Marillion.

In August 2023, Maryen embarked on a transformative journey across the UK, reconnecting with her audience in a series of ten intimate performances. These shows offered her fans to experience her music in a really personal way.

Her music initiative called "The Cairns Club" also provides another way for fans to engage with her music. More recently, Maryen collaborated with producer Chris Kimsey at Echotown Studios.

Over two days of live recording sessions, Maryen poured her heart and soul into nine carefully curated tracks, resulting in the creation of "One Woman Band, Live at Echotown Studios, Vol. 1", due to be released next month.

We caught up with Maryen to find out more about her passion for all things music, her inspirations, and what fans can look forward to next:

Your upcoming live album, "One Woman Band, Live at Echotown Studios, Vol 1,"   re-imagines your classic recordings in an intimate setting. 

What inspired you to embark on this project, and what do you hope listeners will take away from it?

I’ve always believed that a song should  be able to stand on it’s own, just a voice singing by itself - and this was the inspiration behind the Cairns Club Livestreams, the resulting ANEW tour, and the “One Woman Band, Live at Echotown Studios” sessions. 

My mission was to give the audience each song in a very simple way, but to still have sonic intrigue, and my fascination with percussion is a big part of this journey… “Give To The Chase” features an entirely percussive backdrop to the voice, whilst fingerpicked or plectrum driven acoustic guitar, or piano, come to the fore on other tracks… occasionally all at once. I hope that listeners can enjoy their immersion into the sound, knowing that it exists exactly like this for just that moment… I never play a song exactly the same twice.

Throughout your career, you've demonstrated a talent for storytelling through your music.

Can you share a bit about your creative process when crafting narratives and characters within your songs? Do you take inspiration from personal experiences mainly, literature, or other sources?

Inspiration hits me from different sources, and historic stories, real stories, are definitely a big one for me - I’ve discovered reality is often way stranger than fiction. I’m intrigued with people and why they do what they do and their relationships with each other. 

Of course my own experiences and life lived come into play, and this has become deeper over time… growing up myself, entering the world of birth and motherhood, living with babies and toddlers all the way through the teens and segueing into adulthood, watching ones’ children having their own lives… the whole of these human experiences come out through my art.

I’m inspired by nature and the elemental forces - and I’m inspired by bizarre possibilities, of fantasy & science fiction… I love to read fiction and almost always have a book I’m in the middle of.

If I’m writing about a real historical person or event, I research extensively and I tend to write many more words than my final lyrics will have… and then the melody and chords will come from those words. The hardest thing writing about history is settling on the version of the truth… because most of the time there are differing accounts, and at some point I have to decide which version of the story to go with… this is harder than when I’m writing my own fictional story!

From your early days using home studio recording equipment to working with acclaimed producers like Chris Kimsey, you have experienced various aspects of the music industry.

How have these experiences shaped your approach to production, and what advice would you give to emerging artists looking to hone their own sound?

Overall my approach to production comes down to keeping complete control, but knowing when to hand over the reins to someone whom I trust.

Hence, in general I do all my own recording at home in my little studio and I spend a lot of time shaping a track… but when I feel more is needed then I reach out.

With my recent focus on capturing what I was doing live, though, I completely changed my approach… instead I went into the very high-end quality Echotown Studios and was purely the performing artist playing the songs to the small audience. In fact, I went so far as refusing to even listen back to the tracks, because I didn’t want to get distracted from my performance. This resulted in 30 tracks being recorded in 2 days, which were mixed later in Chris Kimsey’s own home studio.

My advice is to take a good look at what your main skills are, and make sure you have autonomy over your own work. 

Most artists are best learning how to record themselves: set up as good a studio as you can to work in by yourself - and believe me, a lot can be done with a very simple set up! - and spend as much time in it as possible experimenting with songs and sound.

However, if performing is your highest skill then concentrate on that, engaging other music professionals to record your performances. 

In all cases, do your research to find a producer or mixing engineer who has worked with artists you like. Don’t be afraid to approach them… everyone likes to discover new amazing artists, and maybe you’ll meet someone great who’s on your wavelength and helps you reach your full potential!

Your connection with your audience has deepened over the years, especially through initiatives like The Cairns Club and livestream concerts.

How do you cultivate this sense of intimacy and engagement in your performances, both in-person and online? 

I used to be very shy with my listeners, but The Cairns Club has brought me into conversation with my audience, which has given me confidence and deepened my connection with them. This happened initially online, and now that I’m venturing off the island (I live in Guernsey) I’m finding myself enjoying continuing the conversations & songs in-person. 

Looking forward to more shows in the UK in 2024 and hoping to venture further afield in 2025!

Throughout your career, you've explored a wide range of themes and topics in your music, from personal reflections to broader social issues.

Are there any particular subjects or messages that you find yourself increasingly drawn to convey in your songs as your career progresses. 

I’m more and more drawn to writing about connections between us - past and future -  and of nature, Mother Earth… and our connection, as human beings, as ethereal beings, with this amazing planet we have grown from.

… I also have a notebook filled with stories, amazing stories, that I need to tell… 

Listen to Maryen Cairns' new single "Give To The Chase", out now!

The Ledoux and the Marois estates are located close to each other in modern day Little Sark, the southern peninsula section of Sark island. The castle and the market would be located in Greater Sark to the north.

In verses that take place during and after the movie, Sark is an independent kingdom that is culturally influenced by both England and France. It is still part of the Channel islands, but doesn’t come under English control until about the 1960s, when the current monarch strikes a treaty with England to incorporate the island formally as a Crown Dependency, like Jersey, Guernsey, and the other islands.

In modern verses, the island became a Crown Dependency as it historically did.

But in modern royalty verses, and others depending on plotting, it remains a very small independent nation, with a mixed monarchy, like Lichtenstein, or a constitutional monarchy like Sweden and the UK.

Most of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the current United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which formally adopted its name in 1927. The nearby Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey aren't a part of the UK, being Crown Dependencies, however the British government is responsible for their defence and worldwide illustration.

So sit back, relax, and let's embark on a journey through the Channel Islands!

Etymology

The Channel Islands, located in the English Channel between France and England, have a fascinating history and culture that date back hundreds of years. The name 'Channel Islands' itself has an interesting origin. The word 'channel' comes from the Old French word 'chanel' and the Middle English word 'chanelle', both of which mean a narrow sea passage. The islands, being located in the English Channel, received their name from this connection. Another theory about the origin of the islands' name suggests that it might have come from the Latin word 'cantio', which means 'song'. This theory suggests that the islands might have been named after the sounds of the sea that surround them. Interestingly, the Channel Islands have been a source of inspiration for many authors and poets over the years. In Victor Hugo's famous novel 'Les Misérables', the character Jean Valjean takes refuge in the island of Guernsey. the islands have been the inspiration for many works of literature, including John Millais' painting 'The Escape of a Heretic', which was inspired by the story of a French Huguenot who sought refuge in the Channel Islands in the 16th century. Whether it's their rich history, unique culture or stunning landscapes, the Channel Islands are a fascinating destination that attracts visitors from all over the world.

History

The history of the Channel Islands is rich and complex, spanning back thousands of years. The islands were first settled during the Stone Age, and later came under the control of the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, the islands were part of the Duchy of Normandy and were ruled by feudal lords. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Channel Islands were heavily involved in maritime trade and played an important role in European politics. In the 19th century, the islands experienced a period of economic growth due to the expansion of the fishing and agriculture industries. However, the Channel Islands' most significant historical event was during World War II, when they were occupied by German forces. The islands were the only part of the UK to be occupied by the Nazis during the war, and their occupation lasted from 1940 to 1945. The Germans heavily fortified the islands, building bunkers, gun emplacements, and tunnels. Thousands of forced laborers were brought to the islands to construct these defenses. The Channel Islands' occupation was a traumatic event in their history, but it also had long-lasting effects on the islands' culture and identity. The islands' resistance during the occupation is celebrated as a symbol of bravery and resilience, and is an important part of their cultural heritage. After the war, the Channel Islands experienced a period of rapid modernization and economic growth. Today, they are largely self-governing and have a thriving tourism industry, attracting visitors from around the world with their beautiful beaches, rich history, and unique culture.

Geology

The geological features of the Channel Islands are both unique and fascinating. Although the islands are small, they possess a rich geological history ranging back millions of years. The Channel Islands are made up of different types of rocks such as shale, sandstone, and limestone. These rocks have been carved and shaped by various geological processes over time, including glaciation, tectonic activity, and erosion. The island’s geology has a lot to do with its location. The Channel Islands are situated in the English Channel, an area which was heavily glaciated during the last Ice Age. The tremendous weight of the ice sheets caused the Earth’s crust to sink, creating valleys and basins. The melting of the glaciers led to the formation of the English Channel, which now separates the Channel Islands from France. The geological features of the Channel Islands are also a result of tectonic activity. The islands have been affected by movements of the Earth’s crust for millions of years. The islands are located on a fault line, meaning that they have been exposed to earthquakes and volcanic activity in the past. These geological events have helped shape the islands we see today. Coastal erosion has also played a critical role in shaping the geology of the Channel Islands. The power of the sea has helped sculpt the coastline, creating caves, beaches, and cliffs. The interaction between the sea and the land has also created unique geological features such as stack, arches, and blowholes. The geological features of the Channel Islands have a significant impact on the islands' habitats and wildlife. The diversity of habitats, from sandy beaches to rocky shores, has allowed a wide range of plant and animal species to thrive. The unique geology of the Channel Islands has resulted in the development of habitats that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. This has led to the islands being designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and protected under UK law. the geology of the Channel Islands is a fascinating subject. It has played a significant role in the formation and development of the islands we see today. Its unique features have contributed to the rich biodiversity found on the islands, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in geology, wildlife, and natural beauty.

Geography

The waters surrounding the Channel Islands are particularly rich in marine life, with over 1,000 species of fish and a diverse range of crustaceans, mollusks, and other creatures. Many of these are commercially important, such as the Channel Islands lobster, which is highly prized by local fishermen and chefs. On land, the Channel Islands are home to a variety of rare and endangered species, including the Adonis blue butterfly and the green hairstreak butterfly. The islands' cliffs and coastal heathlands provide habitat for a number of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbill auks. The islands also support an important population of grey seals, which can often be spotted basking on the rocks around the coast. Efforts have been made to protect the unique biodiversity of the Channel Islands. The islands are home to a number of nature reserves, including the Alderney Wildlife Trust and the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. These organizations work to protect and conserve the islands' flora and fauna, while also raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity conservation. In recent years, there has also been a push to reduce the impact of human activity on the islands' biodiversity. This has included measures to reduce pollution, such as limiting the use of pesticides and fertilizers on farmland, as well as efforts to reduce the amount of waste produced by the islands' residents and visitors. the Channel Islands are home to a rich and unique ecosystem, which plays an important role both locally and globally.

Climate

The Channel Islands have a mild and oceanic climate moderated by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The islands experience fairly uniform temperatures throughout the year, with average highs ranging from 10°C (50°F) in winter to 20°C (68°F) in summer. However, the weather can be changeable, with occasional rain showers and fog. The best time to visit the Channel Islands is during the summer months from June to September, when temperatures are at their warmest and there is plenty of sunshine. The sea is also warm enough for swimming during this time, making it ideal for beach holidays and outdoor activities. July and August are the busiest months, so visitors should book their accommodation in advance.

Visitors should pack for changeable weather and be prepared for occasional rain showers, but can look forward to plenty of sunshine and opportunities for outdoor activities.

Environmental Issues

The Channel Islands are not immune to environmental issues, and several factors are threatening their delicate ecosystem. The main environmental challenges facing the Channel Islands are climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. Rising sea levels and increased erosion are putting the islands' coastlines at risk, and several beaches have already eroded significantly. Pollution from plastic waste and marine litter has also become a major issue, and the islands have implemented measures to reduce this waste. Habitat loss has been a significant issue for the Channel Islands, as urbanization continues to encroach upon natural areas. This has led to the displacement of many species of animals and plants, threatening the rich biodiversity of the islands. However, efforts are being made to address these issues. In recent years, initiatives have been launched to promote sustainable development and reduce waste. The Channel Islands also have designated nature reserves, such as Alderney Wildlife Trust and Guernsey's endangered species breeding program, which are aimed at protecting the unique ecosystem of the islands and its inhabitants. The authorities have also established reef protection zones, which provide a sanctuary for marine life. The Channel Islands are also investing in renewable energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint. Solar panels and wind turbines have been installed in several locations, and there are plans to develop further renewable energy projects. These measures reflect the Channel Islands' commitment to preserving their environment and ensuring a sustainable future. Although there are challenges, the islands are actively working to address them and protect their unique ecosystem for future generations.

Politics

The political structure of the Channel Islands is unique, as they are not part of the United Kingdom but are self-governing territories. Jersey, Guernsey, and the other smaller islands are known as the Crown Dependencies, which means they are closely linked to the British Crown but are not part of the UK. Each island has its own constitution and elected government, with the British monarch as their head of state. The islands also have their own legal systems and courts, with final appeals going to the Privy Council in London. Although the Channel Islands have close ties to the UK, they are not represented in the UK Parliament. Instead, they have their own representatives, known as Members of the States, who sit in the island's parliament. In terms of international relations, the Channel Islands are not members of the European Union, but they are a part of the British Isles Customs Union. They also have their own relationships with other countries, including economic agreements with both the UK and France. The relationship between the UK and the Channel Islands has been contentious at times, with the islands' self-governing status occasionally causing disputes. However, the relationship remains strong, with the UK providing support to the islands during times of need, such as during World War II. the political structure of the Channel Islands is complex, but it allows for self-governance and a unique identity separate from the UK. Despite occasional challenges, the islands continue to thrive as independent territories with strong ties to both the UK and the international community.

Economy

The economy of the Channel Islands is largely driven by its finance and tourism industries. The islands are known for their favorable tax regimes and sophisticated financial services, attracting many offshore companies and wealthy individuals. The finance industry's contribution to the islands' total economic output is significant, with Jersey and Guernsey alone accounting for around 10% of the UK's banking deposits. Apart from finance, tourism is also a vital part of the economy, with the Channel Islands attracting millions of visitors each year. The islands' beautiful beaches, stunning coastline, and rich cultural heritage make them a popular destination for holidaymakers. The tourism industry generates various employment opportunities, supporting many small businesses such as hotels, restaurants, shops, and other tourist facilities.

Jersey

Jersey sits in the Bay of St Malo, 14 miles (22 kilometres) from the French coast and 85 miles (137 kilometres) south of the English coast and is the biggest of the Channel Islands.

The island is 5 miles (8 kilometres) by 9 miles (14.5 kilometres).  45.5 square miles (120 square kilometres) and is divided into 12 parishes.  Its capital being based in the parish of St Helier.

English is the main language spoken in Jersey. Other languages include French and Jèrriais (the original Jersey language).

Jersey’s southerly location and sheltered position in the Bay of St Malo means that it generally has a temperate climate that is often warmer, with more sunshine hours, than you might experience in the other British Isles. Jersey Met produce a ​Jersey weather​ forecast for the local area.

Jersey is a British Crown Dependency, and is defended and internationally represented by the UK government. The Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey is the personal representative of His Majesty the King on the Island.  The island is  self-governing and has it own financial and legal systems and its own courts of law. The States Assembly is made up of 49 elected members.  Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are part of the British Isles. England, Scotland and Wales make up Great Britain, while the United Kingdom includes Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Jersey is a British Crown Dependency.

Jersey’s government also issues its own internationally-recognised driving licences and is responsible for its own vehicle registration. Jersey has its own unique number plate sequence and number plates all start with the letter J.  The Island also has its own postal and telecommunications services.

Jersey has a Royal Court, which is equal to the UK's Crown Court for criminal matters, and the UK's High Court for civil matters. It also runs an administrative jurisdiction similar to that in the Divisional Court and receives statutory appeals from executive committees of the States. It exercises a supervisory and an appellate jurisdiction over the Island’s lower criminal and civil courts.
