30. WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THIS CARTOON?

32. WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF SOURCE 30? In this type of question you need to explain why a source was made. The crucial thing here is not to stop at explaining the message of the source. Make sure you go on and explain its purpose. In other words, what impact was it designed to have on people’s thoughts or actions. Content : take 2 x quotes + explain for written sources Context: when was it made? By whom? What was going on at the time? Could it be biased? Comment: why was the source made – what is it trying to get you to think?

33. GOVERNMENT ACTION Government policies on immigration during 1960’s have been criticised for benefitting immigrants from Old Commonwealth Countries and discriminating against immigrants from New Commonwealth Countries Which do you think the were Old Commonwealth countries? Which do you think were New Commonwealth countries?

34. HOW WELL DID GOVERNMENT HANDLE IMMIGRATION IN 1960’S? Evidence forEvidence against ‘The government said comments and did actions just in order to get the vote’ ‘Measures supported immigrants from Old Commonwealth rather than New Commonwealth’ ‘The government saw immigrants as problem rather than those with prejudiced or racist views’

35. DEBATE ‘ Politicians did not do much to help New Commonwealth Immigrants during 1960’s’ Agree or Disagree?

37. As mass immigration continued in the 1950s, so did the rise of racial violence and prejudice. Many areas including Birmingham, Nottingham and west London experienced rioting as white people feared the arrival of a black community. On one hand, these men and women had been offered work in a country they had been brought up to revere. On the other, many were experiencing racial prejudice they had never expected. Legislation had allowed people from the Empire and Commonwealth unhindered rights to enter Britain because they carried a British passport. Under political pressure, the government legislated three times in less than a decade to make immigration for non-white people harder and harder. By 1972, legislation meant that a British passport holder born overseas could only settle in Britain if they, firstly, had a work permit and, secondly, could prove that a parent or grandparent had been born in the UK. In practice, this meant children born to white families in the remnants of Empire or the former colonies could enter Britain. Their black counterparts could not. While government was tightening the entry rules, racial tension meant it had to try to tackle prejudice and two race relations acts followed. In 1945, Britain's non-white residents numbered in the low thousands. By 1970 they numbered approximately 1.4 million - a third of these children born in the United Kingdom.
