| Summary/Abstract |
A 'yes' vote, though unlikely, would fundamentally alter the British Isles, and potentially Europe as well. A routine parliamentary afternoon in the United Kingdom: under debate are final amendments to a bill designed to improve advice given to people in debt and to adjust the terms for those who fall into bankruptcy. A government minister, Fergus Ewing, speaks enthusiastically of a financial National Health Service. With matching spirit, his Labour Party opponent, Jenny Marra, attacks some measures as too harsh on bankrupt debtors. A division is called on her proposed amendments, and the number of members in the chamber quickly swells to more than 100 for the votes. The government wins them easily. However, in a remarkable display of consensus politics, the opposition parties, both Labour and the Conservatives, then support the bill, and it is duly passed.

| Summary/Abstract |
The memory of the war in the British Isles - and Ireland in particular - has been inevitably coloured by political agendas, and the Irish contribution has largely been forgotten. During the First World War, around 35,000 Irishmen - hailing from both the north and south of the island - gave their lives fighting for the British Empire, of which Ireland was then a part. Many tens of thousands more served in Britain's armed forces in theatres around the globe, and especially on the Western Front. Yet this contribution has only recently been recognised by the general pubilc in Ireland; and is largely overlooked by those in Britain. Catriona Pennell explores how tempestuous relationships and political division throughout the twentieth century have coloured the memory of the war within the British Isles.
