However, it is also celebrated by the very same governments and corporations that contribute to women’s unequal rights.

Mostly Hating Tories: an extra verse for the Tolpuddle Festival
Submitted by Janine on
They've thresholds, scabs, and if you're rude
On pickets, then they'll jail you

Look, we know what class war is
If Tolpuddle's Martyrs were here today
They'd be mostly hating Tories
