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.
well done! I am related to all of them except James Hammett. Here in South-Western Ontario, Canada, the descendants of James Brine and Elizabeth Standfield hold an annual family reunion on the first sunday of july.
@@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!
If you want to see a good movie that everyone has to watch in Belgium you should watch: Daens made in 1992 directed by Stijn Coninx and based on a novel by Louis Paul Boon. It’s based on the real life story of a Priest called Adolf Daens who strives to improve the miserable working conditions at the local factories. It’s really good you can watch it with subtitles even I use subtitles because it’s a mix of Dutch(with dialects), French and Latin that is spoken in the movie.
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 :)
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.
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".
@@RadicalHistory I'm a Standfield and i'll have to ask my dad (who did our family tree) but i think Thomas is a 3 x great Uncle, and he was also married the George Loveless' sister.They emigrated to Canada are there are/were a few Canadian Politians who i guess are distant cousins too haha
@@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!
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.

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

Please add more Schrodinger next time! Fabulous video, even more pertinent today with the Government's attempts to outlaw public demonstration.
Will do Thomasina - he's definitely coming back in future videos! (Keeping him awake is the challenge...!)
Gosh what a tour de force. Need to get this into schools.
Thanks Fran! Definitely hope that some teachers will want to use these in classrooms.

I was taught this at school by my history teacher.
"Remarkably Hollywood has not discovered the Tolpuddle Martyrs yet" - Than fcuk for that!
Brilliant video. Thank you so much for making it. Great job.

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

It’s very good.

Ha!!! Would definitely watch it.
george and james were my relatives (great (etc)) uncles. thomas loveless, his father, was my (great (etc)) grandfather.
as a descendant, this is interesting!
Wow - which one of them is your ancestor?

@@gdkey8025 Brilliant - an honour to have you as a viewer!
I was doing my ancestry then realised my lineage is the same as Georges 🤣
Sounds somewhat familiar, in regards, to the troubles labor unions face today in the USA. Not in the same way.

Please get rid of the piano in the background.
