The article remembers some of the political stories in British history. It begins with the protest against the massacre of Ireland's Catholics under the leadership of the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century. The election of Jon Lansman to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party in 1984 is discussed, as well as the effort of Dennis Skinner, a member of the Parliament, to tour the country to raise funds for the Labour Party.
