the map allows for connections between seeminly disparate actions and events to be seen within the same framework, facilitating coherent narratives to be constructed around the act of protest.

The first (recorded) mass protests in 1381 was organised against an indiscriminate tax levied against citizens (peasantry) regardless of the payees ability to meet the cost of the new, additional tax. With a similar, blanket aproach to society, and a disregard for the individual's ability to pay, the poll tax was re-introduced by Thatchers conservative government in the 1980s, which lead to mass protests, culminating in the 1990 poll tax riots.

This section looks at the series of laws enacted to break the power of the unions, the government through alterations to the legal framework of the country, systematically removed the reactive, supportive ability that a unionised and affiliated workforce had, as a method of resistance. This resulted in a fundamental change in working and ultimaly living conditions that allowed for the globalisation of companies and their employment practices but not a globalised standard for the conditions of workers.

Protest advocacy has always existed in one form or another, but it's formal acceptance from the legal system changed the nature or documenting (through the use of lawyers) and narrative building (through systematic documentation of events) as a method to inform not only legal proceedings but also to inform the relationship that activists have in relation to mainstream media.
