The 30th anniversary of the demise of the POLL TAX makes you think about a lot of things. Justice. Fairness. Civility. How elites often carve out a world fit for themselves, whilst steamrolling others. There are ultimately people in society who don’t wish to share or care, but rather extract the maximum suffering from those already on the breadline; those simply doing their best.A compelling deconstruction of the turmoil that led to the most reviled tax in British history. From sweeping analysis of political upheaval to personal accounts of protests, Robinson’s taut prose charts the staggering short-sightedness of Thatcher’s government and the almighty backlash that ensued. A new benchmark in the study of our country’s greatest modern-day rebellion.
