Although I wasn't old enough to be active at the time of the anti-poll tax campaigns, I wish I was! The days that the militant tendency finally brought down Thatcher. A good job really, because Kinnock didn't have the backbone.
I was a student, at the time. Not uncommon to be doing a bit of shopping and see someone at Grey's Monument burning posters or effigies of Thatcher.
Nowhere near as many police there as there was last Saturday, mind!
