Title
Pay No Poll Tax. All Britain Anti Poll Tax Federation
Description
This is a placard stapled onto a stick. The placard reads, "All Britain anti poll tax federation. Pay No Poll Tax. Don't Pay - Don't Collect.'
This revolves around the poll tax riots in British towns and cities during protests against the introduction of the poll tax. This was introducted by Margaret Thatcher during her time as the Conservative Prime Minister. The largest protest was in Central London on Saturday 31 March 1990, before the tax was going to come into force in England and Wales.
