Yes! The struggle for justice must go on. My grandfather was black-balled from the mines in North Yorkshire for his unionism. He kept fighting and made a change.

Great video. Direct, no nonsense style, educational and not too long. Even a bit entertaining. Perfect. Looking forward to watching more from the same channel.

@@RadicalHistory Hi! I’m a philosophy and religion teacher in Norfolk and actually will be using some of your videos soon! The Leveller one, specifically. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Please add more Schrodinger next time! Fabulous video, even more pertinent today with the Government's attempts to outlaw public demonstration.

"Remarkably Hollywood has not discovered the Tolpuddle Martyrs yet" - Than fcuk for that!

I was taught this at school by my history teacher.

There is a movie dramatisation of the tolpuddle martyrs, called comrades. Great film 👍

Thank you!

Funny my Standfield and Loveless ancestors took oaths are were taken to court.. I was in a club, took an oath, ended up in court but I cannot leagally talk about that.. History repeated.

Can you enlighten us in a similar manner regarding the Fobbing Uprising?

As it happens, I'm this week researching the Peasants' Revolt which I believe began in Fobbing! So this will I hope be published some time in early June :)

Brad Pitt as George Loveless, "seven shillings is not enough to feed ma family, I'm askin for Ten Shillings!". "Your crazy, Lord Melburn will never go along with Ten Shillings".

@@gdkey8025 Yes there were a couple of Standfields involved, and the families all seemed to know each other socially that's for sure. I did record a section about the Martyrs moving to Canada (they all did, apart from one, I think), but it didn't make the final cut due to length!

george and james were my relatives (great (etc)) uncles. thomas loveless, his father, was my (great (etc)) grandfather.

It’s very good.

Sounds somewhat familiar, in regards, to the troubles labor unions face today in the USA. Not in the same way.

If the upper english society was behaving like that at home you can only guess what they were doing to their colonies. And still some people defend the empire. In tatcher words, they must thank GOD that they were ruled by england.
