Tolpuddle martyrs 1834

Leon Trostsky born 1879. Would have been difficult for Trotskyites to have being involved with the Tolpuddle martyrs then.

Did you only become aware of that today daft lad?

Two nicest bits of fanny in attendance were the bitches granddaughter and Cleggs Mrs.

My bad. He did say proto-Trotskyites.

Interesting. You assume I am male. Why is that?

No, the woman was asked if she agreed with the cost of what was by any other description a state funeral and whether or not she thought the public should pick up the tab for what many thought was unnecessary, including many MPs when a funeral in St Pauls without the rest of the ceremony would have met with almost total agreement - her answer was that it was difficult for her to be objective to the question of state funding of funerals when her experience had been so bad, then she told her story.

You take it on face value, the woman told her tale, she was paid £56 from the social fund to bury her child because her family were said to have savings that could be used instead of public funds - you can see the symmetry can't you ?
Its a given that Prime Ministers have funerals paid for by the state and they are often in fine churches and often attract a different level of security requirement depending on the guests - this one took it to a different level though and could easily have been cut back if only to comply with her own wishes.

Why?
Aren't you quite sure yourself dear?

Diane 'racist' Abbott is piping up again

I'm not absolutely sure (and what little insurance knowledge I ever had is way out-of-date) but I don't think you can insure children against death.

Years ago I was told that this was a response to the quaint old Victorian practice of insuring kids and then murdering them to claim the 'bounty'.

I believe that they can be insured to cover funeral costs etc but the insurance industry perceive children to be of little value, hence the derisory amounts paid on suing any one/organisation for the death of a child

rlSobbing like a jesserl

So, it's a no then, unless you read it in[i The Times[/i or saw it on Sky/BBC.
And because you only heard a couple of boos that means that the protestors didn't turn up.
And because objectors didn't turn up they are all mouth and no action
OK.
It does sound like you are disappointed to have lost an opportunity for outrage.
