In late 1934 and early 1935, the [[Third Lyons Ministry|Government]] of [[Joseph Lyons]] spectacularly failed to exclude [[Egon Kisch]] from entering [[Australia]].

'''Swindon 105.5''' is a [[community radio]] station for [[Swindon]], [[Wiltshire]] fully licensed by media and communications regulator [[Ofcom]]. The station is run by volunteers and gets its funding by donations from the public and local companies and Ofcom grants. The station is not allowed any on-air advertising.
Egon Kisch was a [[Jewish]] [[Communist]] and anti-war activist of [[Ethnic Germans|ethnic German]] (''[[Volksdeutsche]]'') origin born in [[Czechoslovakia]]. He had served in the [[Austro-Hungarian Army]] during [[World War I]] and was the author of many travel books. He was also a vocal critic of [[Adolf Hitler]]’s [[Nazi]] regime and as a result had his books banned and burnt and had been imprisoned briefly in [[Spandau Prison|Spandau]] before he was expelled from Germany to his native Czechoslovakia.


The station was launched on Saturday 15th March 2008 with Station Manager [[Shirley Ludford]] and former BBC Broadcaster [[Peter Heaton-Jones.]]
Kisch was an invited speaker to the All Australian Conference of the [[Movement Against War and Fascism]] held at the [[St Kilda Town Hall]], Melbourne on 10-12 November 1934.


The station's aim is to establish an effective, inclusive radio station that dares to be different, providing a unique, diverse and open access service for the citizens of [[Swindon]], contributing to the promotion of cultural, spiritual, social and economic life of [[Swindon]].
Kisch arrived in Fremantle on November 6th 1934 on the [[Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company|P&O]] liner [[RMS Strathaird]]. The ship was promptly boarded by representatives of the Federal Government who refused Kisch entry to Australia because he was 'undesirable as an inhabitant of, or visitor to, the Commonwealth'. The Australian Government had made this decision after advice that Kisch had been excluded from Britain. Kisch was required to stay on board the Strathaird as it proceeded through Australian waters via Melbourne and Sydney.


== Planting the seeds ==
On November 13th, Kisch defied Australian authorities when he jumped over 5 meters onto Melbourne’s [[Station Pier]] and broke his right leg. The [[Victoria Police]] quickly took charge of Kisch and carried him back on board the Strathaird. The next day the issue rose to national promince when Labor MP for [[Division of Batman|Batman]], [[Frank Brennan (Australian politician)|Frank Brennan]] accused the Lyons government of cowardice for restricting Kisch’s right to speak in Australia just because they disagreed with him. In response Attorney-General [[Robert Menzies]] pointed out the every civilized country had the right to determine who should or should not be allowed in and that since Kisch was a revolutionary and that revolution involved violence he was not to be permitted entry.


The original project was founded by Ian Rowe, Johnny Robinson, Rich Grace & Greg Stevens in 2004, who were all presenters at [[Swindon FM]] at the time. Former BBC Radio Wiltshire Sound (Now [[BBC Radio Swindon]]) & [[Swindon FM]] Presenter Shirley Ludford was then suggested and brought in.
As the Strathaird made its way up the [[South Coast (New South Wales)|
New South Wales south coast]] to [[Sydney]], supporters of Kisch took his case before [[High Court of Australia|High Court]] [[Judge]] [[H. V. Evatt|Evatt]] who found that the Federal Government had incorrectly excluded Kisch from Australia because they had failed to list the advice received from the British Government in their order. Evatt released Kisch and ordered that he be free to visit as long as he respected the laws of Australia.


== SCB Radio ==
On his arrival in Sydney the Federal Government now attempted to exclude Kisch using the [[Immigration Restriction Act 1901|Immigration Restriction Act]]. The Act allowed for a dictation test in any European Language for prospective immigrants and was usually the means to exclude non-[[Europeans in Oceania|whites]] from entering Australia under the unofficial [[White Australia Policy]]. Since Kisch was fluent in a number of European languages he was asked to dictate the [[Lord’s Prayer]] in [[Scottish Gaelic]]. Kisch refused to participate and was deemed to have failed the test and was taken into custody, this time by the [[New South Wales Police Force|New South Wales police]], who released him on [[Australian pound|AU£]]200 bail.


In September 2005 the group had their Test Broadcast ([[Restricted Service Licence]]) to see whether a community radio station would work in the area. After positive feedback came in about the stations success thoughout the 28 day broadcast it was decided the project would go to the next step and apply for a Community Radio Licence from [[Ofcom]].
Kisch’s legal team was headed by [[Christian Jollie Smith]] who secured a writ of hebius corpus for Egon Kisch and briefed [[Albert Piddington]] and [[Maurice Blackburn]] who took his case to the full bench of the High Court which on 19 December 1934 ruled that he be free to visit Australia. Kisch’s legal team where able to demonstrate that the dictation test was administered unfairly. It was also found that Constable Mackay, who administered the test, although born in Scotland was not actually able to write the Lord’s Prayer in Scottish Gaelic but had instead, asked Kisch to dictate a nonsensical sentence which Mackay could not correctly translate. Kisch was now free to visit and speak in Australia. Or so it seemed.


== Community Radio Swindon ==
In January 1935 the Australian Prime Minister Joseph Lyons contacted the British Government and received the following written advice;


In 2006 the group, now fronted by Shirley Ludford and with a board of directors applied for a community radio licence for the [[Swindon]] Area. Two Groups applied for a licence. [[Swindon FM]] Community Radio, which had ran a local [[DAB]] only service in [[Swindon]] since 2002, and Community Radio Swindon. [[Ofcom]] decided in favour of Community Radio Swindon and was awarded a licence in February 2007
“Position is that Egon Kisch was refused leave to land in the United Kingdom in September 1933 on account of his known subversive activities stop permission to enter the United Kingdom would now not be granted to him stop [[James Henry Thomas|Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs]] stop”


== Daring To Be Different ==
The government then made a second Immigration Act declaration, overcoming the technical shortcoming which Evatt had found in the first, and on 21 January 1935 the Central Sydney Police Court convicted Kisch of being a prohibited immigrant and sentence him to three months imprisonment with hard labour. However, Kisch was released on bail when his lawyer took an appeal to High Court Justice Evatt who again ruled that Kisch be set free. Evatt pointed out that under the law the minister had no power to rule on immigration matters after a person had entered Australia and he set up a hearing of the Full Bench of the High Court for March.
Swindon 105.5 was launched on March 15th 2008 by Swindon’s Town Crier Fred Ferris. The Inaugural show was presented by Shirley Ludford with Fellow Ex-[[BBC Radio Swindon]] Broadcaster Peter Heaton-Jones which included talking to the other presenters of the station.


Most of the shows between 8am-10pm are live with some repeats of certain shows in the daytime. Other shows are repeated in the Nightshift strand of programming usually from 10pm until 8am. Pre-recorded shows are sent to the station from local schools and colleges, the Swindon Talking Newspaper (STAN, a talking newspaper service for the visually impaired) and the Tamil Association.
Kisch was free to move about and speak. He became a popular figure addressing meetings, rallies and crowds waring of the dangers of the Nazi regime. On the 17 February 1935, he addressed an estimated 18,000-strong audience in [[The Domain, Sydney|Sydney's Domain]]:


Swindon 105.5 was the first legal radio station (and still currently the only radio station) to have a regular Drum & Bass show in the UK outside of the BBC.
“I have had three adventurous months since I last saw you [[Ö]] I know the Police Court, the Quarter Sessions Court, the High Court with one judge and the High Court with five judges. But whenever the court let me go I was arrested again. I have learnt to speak English better Ö Perhaps I do not speak [[George V of the United Kingdom|
King]]'s English but it's Kisch English anyhow. I did not come here to tell there is terrorism in Europe. I come here to tell you how to stop it. I have been an eye-witness. I was arrested the day the [[Reichstag fire|Reichstag]] was burnt down by [[Hermann Göring|Göring]] and his lieutenants. I saw my friend, [[Erich Mühsam]], the poet, whose works I translated, made to walk naked, even in winter, and to lick up the spittle of his captors. All his limbs were broken gradually, and he died.”


== People at Swindon 105.5 ==
Facing the dilemma that further persecution and legal wrangling simply promoted Kisch’s cause the Lyons Government acted to cut its losses and offered to remit Kisch’s sentence, stop all legal proceedings and pay Kisch [[Australian pound|AU£]]450 for his costs in exchange for an agreed exit date of 11 March 1935. Having achieved notoriety above and beyond anyone’s expectations and public exposure of his warnings of Adolf Hitler and the dangers of fascism, Kisch accepted their offer and departed Sydney on the Ormonde bound for [[Marseille]].

== Trivia ==

*The Station’s first song was [[Martha & The Vandellas]] – [[Dancing in the Street]]

*The Station’s first regular show to air was The Johnny Robinson Show at 7-9pm on Saturday 15th March. He was apparently “tired and shattered” after helping out the technical team, and had only been awake for 36 hours before presenting the show.

*The Technical Team had worked constantly for two days to get most of the station’s kit working by 10am on Saturday.

*The studios are situated at Swindon's County Ground, the football stadium for [[Swindon Town Football Club]] and share studios with [[ITV Thames Valley]]

Swindon 105.5 is a community radio station for Swindon, Wiltshire fully licensed by media and communications regulator Ofcom. The station is run by volunteers and gets its funding by donations from the public and local companies and Ofcom grants. The station is not allowed any on-air advertising.

The station was launched on Saturday 15th March 2008 with Station Manager Shirley Ludford and former BBC Broadcaster Peter Heaton-Jones.

The station's aim is to establish an effective, inclusive radio station that dares to be different, providing a unique, diverse and open access service for the citizens of Swindon, contributing to the promotion of cultural, spiritual, social and economic life of Swindon.

Planting the seeds

The original project was founded by Ian Rowe, Johnny Robinson, Rich Grace & Greg Stevens in 2004, who were all presenters at Swindon FM at the time. Former BBC Radio Wiltshire Sound (Now BBC Radio Swindon) & Swindon FM Presenter Shirley Ludford was then suggested and brought in.

SCB Radio

In September 2005 the group had their Test Broadcast (Restricted Service Licence) to see whether a community radio station would work in the area. After positive feedback came in about the stations success thoughout the 28 day broadcast it was decided the project would go to the next step and apply for a Community Radio Licence from Ofcom.

Community Radio Swindon

In 2006 the group, now fronted by Shirley Ludford and with a board of directors applied for a community radio licence for the Swindon Area. Two Groups applied for a licence. Swindon FM Community Radio, which had ran a local DAB only service in Swindon since 2002, and Community Radio Swindon. Ofcom decided in favour of Community Radio Swindon and was awarded a licence in February 2007

Daring To Be Different

Swindon 105.5 was launched on March 15th 2008 by Swindon’s Town Crier Fred Ferris. The Inaugural show was presented by Shirley Ludford with Fellow Ex-BBC Radio Swindon Broadcaster Peter Heaton-Jones which included talking to the other presenters of the station.

Most of the shows between 8am-10pm are live with some repeats of certain shows in the daytime. Other shows are repeated in the Nightshift strand of programming usually from 10pm until 8am. Pre-recorded shows are sent to the station from local schools and colleges, the Swindon Talking Newspaper (STAN, a talking newspaper service for the visually impaired) and the Tamil Association.

Swindon 105.5 was the first legal radio station (and still currently the only radio station) to have a regular Drum & Bass show in the UK outside of the BBC.
