| Résumé : | Four days after the dramatic launch of the anti-home rule campaign at Craigavon on 23 September 1911, where Sir Edward Carson was "delivered to his people", Fred Oliver, a keen Unionist, passionate federalist and peddler of various constructive political initiatives, wrote to Geoffrey Robinson, editor of The Times. In the course of a long and pessimistic letter he expressed deep distress at the violent tone adopted by Carson at Craigavon, admitting that "he was glad to see the Irish Times has been "pole-axing" Carson and co" and imploring Robinson to criticise similarly "all this Ulster shouting and drumbeating and treasonable Tom Foolery. ["] Oliver's criticism reflected a widespread exasperation amongst federal enthusiasts at the damage being done by Carson's tactics"" |
