Britain has never been shy of a good uprising, from peasants storming London to suffragettes chaining themselves to railings. Which act of defiance stirs your soul the most?
Put the items in your preferred order.

The Peasants' Revolt (1381)
Ordinary folk marched on London to protest a brutal poll tax and serfdom. It ended badly for Tyler, but it rattled the crown to its core.

The Suffragette Movement
Emmeline Pankhurst and her army smashed windows, set fires, and force-fed themselves into the history books. Democracy owes them a serious debt.

The Jarrow March (1936)
Unemployed shipworkers walked from Tyneside to Westminster to demand jobs and dignity. No riots, just relentless northern determination.

The Poll Tax Riots (1990)
Trafalgar Square erupted against a tax seen as blatantly unfair. Within months, the Iron Lady was gone from Downing Street.

The Levellers (1640s)
During the Civil War, they demanded voting rights, religious freedom, and equality before the law. Cromwell crushed them, but their ideas never died.
