Hear, bloody hear to that! "Those not helping to bring about a better state of affairs for the future, help perpetuate the present misery & are therefore an enemy of their children. There's no neutral; we either help or hinder". Quote from the @RAGGEDT rousered Philanthropists ✊
You shout for liberty, yet you surrender your children to the mercies of capitalism which will seize them as soon as they leave school, and will devote their bones, muscles and brains to the task of grinding out profits for a boss.

There are many great scholarly investigations of the media. But none caputure the truth better than WORKING CLASS intellectual Robert Noonan, who — in 1914 — summed it all up in the two-word title of the newspaper in ‘The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists’: the “Daily Obscurer”.

Dominic Cummings apparently has no planning permission and pays no Council Tax on the large second home in County Durham that he drove to during lockdown. He really does believe that he is above the rules that govern the rest of us. https://t.co/jRtsxDoK24 via @RespectIsVital

I’m sitting out in our garden reading, for the umpteenth time, Robert Tressell’s The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. I first read this book many years ago and it reinforced my belief that the struggle of past generations, my father included, formed The Trade Unions.

The Book That Made Me...Ricky Tomlinson on The Ragged-Trousered Philanth... https://t.co/CmNjjPq1ta via @YouTube I totally agree with Ricky Tomlinson. This fictional book is accurate in depicting the reality of the exploitation of the poor.

I always argue that a sign of a good book is how many times you think about it, in relation to the number of years ago you read it. I first read Ragged Trousered Philanthropists forty years ago. I think about the plot or the characters at least three times a week!
I'm about to start reading the legendary Robert Tressell novel The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. Is it as good as many say?

Robert Tressell was born 150 years ago today. Even though the book was published in 1914 there is something on virtually every page that is relevant now.

Robert Tressell - born on this day 150 years ago. There's a nice, albeit blink and you'll miss it, stone plaque at his birthplace on Wexford Street Dublin. Go get stuck into his book The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. Classic working-class literature!
