History is boring. Loads of half-truths strung together by academics. Everything you learnt at school, all the Kings, Queens, Laws, Wars and Battles, you forgot straight away. Which means that real history - the lives of ordinary people, their struggles and their victories, not the glorified lives of the rich - is lost under the mountains of knighthoods and life peerages. The real history of England is full of riots, revolutions, rebellions and insurrections. Its a history of a war waged by the poor against the state, the clergy and the landlords. And unlike the history we learn in school, the history of rebellion is something we can learn from. And its a sight more interesting. Throughout Englands history, while peasants and workers were marching and fighting for their rights, there have been radical ballads and songs. Written so that some particular piece of history can be passed on from generation to generation. The Folk music of struggle, written by and for the common folk of England. https://youtube/watch?v=zoiBcRMgDTY
