Thirty years ago, a social movement helped bring down one of the
most powerful British Prime Ministers of the 20th Century. For the
30th anniversary of the Poll Tax rebellion, Simon Hannah looks back
on those tumultuous days of resistance, telling the story of the
people that beat the bailiffs, rioted for their rights and defied a
government. Starting in Scotland where the 'Community Charge' was
first trialled, Can't Pay, Won't Pay immerses the reader in the
gritty history of the rebellion. Amidst the drama of large scale
protests and blockaded estates a number of key figures and groups
emerge: Neil Kinnock and Tommy Sheridan; Militant, Class War and
the Metropolitan Police. Assessing this legacy today, Hannah
demonstrates the centrality of the Poll Tax resistance as a key
chapter in the history of British popular uprisings, Labour Party
factionalism, the anti-socialist agenda and failed Tory ideology.
