Markin comment:
This poll tax struggle in Britain 20 years ago is an example of how a seemingly minor democratic struggle can blow up into something greater, depending on circumstances. It is not always the great issues like war, unemployment, hunger, national, sexual and racial oppression that jump-start political struggle-although in the end those great issues will certainly provide the tinder for great social change.
