Pat Arrowsmith : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pat Arrowsmith Pat Arrowsmith (born March 2, 1930) is a British author and peace campaigner. Arrowsmith was educated at Cheltenham Ladies College, read history at the University of Cambridge, and then read Social Science at the University of Liverpool and at Ohio University as a US-UK Fulbright Scholar. She is a co-founder of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. She has served eleven prison sentences for her political activities. In 1961 she was the subject of parliamentary questions after she was force-fed while on hunger strike in Gateside prison. She stood against the then Prime Minister, James Callaghan, in his constituency of Cardiff South-East in the General election of 1979. She carried on sustained heckling during Callaghan's customary acceptance speech on re-election as an MP. With his typically avuncular nature Callaghan remarked that it was the first time he had "conducted a duet in returning a vote of thanks, and that it was not a particularly tuneful duet" .〔Coverage of election result on BBC Decision 79〕 He then invited Arrowsmith to take the platform, which she did, while he, his supporters and all of the other candidates left the hall en masse. ==References==
