The Vote

This is how General Elections worked in 1830
when all MP's were landowners

Nine people, who between them owned all the land in the Borough of Camelford, Cornwall, had 9 votes. 5 voted Tory, 4 voted Whig.
The nine million farm, factory and office workers in Britain had no land - therefore no votes!
The new Tory Member of Parliament for Camelford could vote to increase the price of bread or potato’s or whatever.
Nine million workers were not even allowed to take part in the debate!

 

 The Price Of Bread 1834

The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 was designed to make the poor poorer!
1834. Parliament, run by the landowners, decided Parish Charity was costing landowners too much. Work-houses, the last refuse of the hapless unemployed, were to be scaled down!

Above "The Stockport Starving." Attacking the Stockport workhouse Lancashire, in search of bread 1834.

The landowners Parliament made certain the immense wealth of the mighty British Empire went into astonishingly few pockets.

Making slaves of the uneducated poor was a practise learned in England long before the landowners (now called the Establishment) discovered Africa and India. Food riots and hunger marches continued throughout Britain until the start of WW2!

The King's England: October 1936

Jarrow jobless march to London. The "royals" not only ignored the problem, between 1902 – 1936, His Majesties Government's banned the filming of thousands of similar hunger protests! 
The welcome the Jarrow marcher's received in every town and village on their route made it impossible to cover-up. The Jarrow Hunger March was the first organised protest reported in British cinema's!

  Little Queen Lizzy's House

During the 1930's Depression when a third of British children suffered growth defects caused by constant hunger (Rickets). Little Lizzy, the present Queen, had her own child size six-roomed thatched house in the garden's of Royal Lodge, Windsor.
The Times reported. ‘The Small House is fully furnished with running water electric light, and a wireless.’ 
Architect John Nash rebuilt Royal Lodge for the depraved Priny (George 4th). It became one of the Queen Mum’s many homes. She died there, aged 101, pickled in the finest gin other peoples money can buy.
