"This Slavery" performed by Commoners Choir
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists A spirited attack on the greed and dishonesty of the capitalist system, and support for a socialist society in which work is performed to satisfy the needs of all, rather than to generate profit for a few, eventually rouses his work mates from their political passivity.
Written by Robert Tressell, a painter and decorator.

Juggling With EggsCurrently reading graphic novel of #NoSurrender. It’s an adaptation of Constance Maud’s rather dry #Suffragette book originally published in 1911. The #RickardSisters really make it zing and feel relevant. Sharp writing and warm, detailed illustrations breathe new life into an old novel.
Inspiring read for any activist.
Jan HicksI read the graphic novel adaptation of Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by @RickardSisters and loved it. What an introduction to a classic book I can't believe I haven't read before! The illustrations are beautiful and the adapted narrative captures the essence of the story.
