Obtaining[ | ]

Veils icon Veils = 25
Drink icon Stained = 1

With your feet and your fists With your mind With your art
You marched. And when marching wasn't enough, you fought.
You held the line at pickets. You burned factories. You bled on the cobblestones when the police came with truncheons and horses to break the strikes. You made sure they bled too.
Lies are the tools of tyrants. You published research to expose those lies, and illuminate injustice.
Your arguments found receptive ears. They were cited amongst firebrand students, and graced the hastily-printed pages of subversive pamphlets.
Art travels swiftly. It cannot be imprisoned. It cannot be hanged.
You exposed. You lampooned. You inspired those who needed it most. Your pseudonym became famous in one half of London, and infamous in the other.
