approx. George Lansbury (22/2/1859 -
7/5/1949) was a well-known leader of the
Labour party from 1932-1935. He was briefly a 1253
minister in the Labour government circa 1930
and was a promoter of disarmament, social
justice and women's rights (he was an
associate of Emmeline Pankhurst). He was 1254
elected to Parliament in 1910 but resigned his
position in 1912. He apparently assisted in
establishing the Daily Herald newspaper 1255
becoming its editor. He was a colourful 1256
character and served time in prison with
numerous fellow councillors for their
involvement in the Poplar Rates Rebellion of 1257
1921. In his latter years he travelled in the
United States and Europe encouraging peace
and disarmament. In his early, formative 1258
years, the promised better prospects tempted
him to travel to Australia, en route 1259
experiencing near disaster in an epic storm.
The prospects were unfortunately unfounded
and, in May 1885, he returned to the U.K. the 1260
fare having been footed by his father-in-law,
for whom he subsequently worked for a time in
his timber business, simultaneously 1261
campaigning against the misleading
information promulgated by the the colonial
emigration agents. The story of Lansbury's life,
with its dramatic changes of fortune, would
make an excellent subject for a film or indeed
a series.
