Macabre London

The Suffragettes were far more deadly than you think. These courageous and brave women set about learning how to fight war like men did and then, they beat them at their own game. Often dumbed down in later years, the suffragettes militant campaign was extensive, terrifying and effective. The only thing that stopped these women from winning the vote with violent tactics was a little thing called World War One! Today on Macabre London and our final in this four part series, we uncover the Militancy of the Suffragettes and how they used EXPLOSIVE tactics to win the vote.This is part four in my industrial revolution / Suffragette series - episode one is here: https://youtu.be/X-skf7cLV0EThank you to todays sponsor London Nootropics!

300 women were penned into parliament square and thrown to the mercy of the male crowd and given the order to "Do with them as they wished" This violent assault lasted 6 hours and unarmed women were beaten, attacked and then arrested all because they wanted their cry of "Votes For Women" to be heard! On part 3 of our Suffragette series we take a look at the bitter battle of Black Friday and the turning point in the campaign to gain the female vote. The 1800's ushered in a new way of life for everyone and the Industrial Revolution wasn't called that just because of the machines. This new reign of technology heralded in a new era in workers rights or in fact highlighted that...there were none! Pair this with the fact that only 4500 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and they were angry! Today on Macabre London, we uncover Black Friday, an event which made the gentle suffragettes turn to violence all in the name of gaining the vote.

Pair this with the fact that only 4500 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and they were angry!

The place with the most history surrounding it in London is undoubtedly the Tower. This building has many myths and legends assigned to its historic reign over the capital. One of these myths is its feathered friends, the ravens. These majestic birds are said to be the key in keeping the kingdom alive and have been on site for almost 1000 years. The myth behind the famous saying is not entirely known and today we explore just where it may have come from and if there is any truth to it.

Two actors met in London but both had quite different backstories.
