Watch this video to learn about a crucial moment in the birth of the trade union movement which won rights like weekends and minimum wages for everyone.

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.
There is a movie dramatisation of the tolpuddle martyrs, called comrades. Great film 👍
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.
Thanks Steve! Will keep em coming!
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.
@@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!
We need this channel! Thank you 😍
THANK YOU! I never heard of this. We forget at our peril.
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...!)
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.
Thank you!
"Remarkably Hollywood has not discovered the Tolpuddle Martyrs yet" - Than fcuk for that!
Got my gsce history exam next week. Thankyou
I was taught this at school by my history teacher.
Brilliant video. Thank you so much for making it. Great job.
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 :)
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.
as a descendant, this is interesting!
Wow - which one of them is your ancestor?
@@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!
@@RadicalHistory i finished the tree a few days ago!working b wards it would go me-dad-(Thomas)Granddad-(Ernest )G Granddad-(Henry Thomas) GG Granddad-(George)GGG Grandad then William, my 4x Great Graddad was Thomas Standfield's Brother and Thus John's Uncle!George moved west to Yeovil during the industrial revolution and some of the family worked in the Glove Factories(Yeovil Town FC are nick named 'The Glovers')Henry Thomas was a stage coach driver.
@@gdkey8025 Brilliant - an honour to have you as a viewer!
It’s very good.
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".
Ha!!! Would definitely watch it.
george and james were my relatives (great (etc)) uncles. thomas loveless, his father, was my (great (etc)) grandfather.
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.
