Re: Move or Stay
A revolution followed by our own version of Bastille Day could be good.Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Re: Move or Stay
Yes Victors Mate, this comes from the stage show Le Miserable, commonly referred to as: 'The Glums', BUT there is a much better one entitled 'The Internationale'Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers,
arise ye criminals of want
for reason in revolt now thunders
and at last ends the age of cant,
now away with all your superstitions,
servile masses arise, arise
we'll change forthwith the old conditions,
and spurn the dust to win the prize
Then comrades come rally
and the last fight let us face,
The Internationale unites the human race,
then comrades come rally and the last fight let us face,
the Internationale, unites the human race.

Re: Move or Stay
I understood that May Day or labour day was introduced by the Labour Govt not too long ago. Whitsuntide is a church festival which follows Easter after 6 weeks, representing Christ rising from the dead and ascending into Heaven. When I was a child we had Whit Walks in Manchester.
