We claim that civilisation has evolved as we head into the 21st century. Our ancestors have have fought for everything, freedom, equality, justice. Nevertheless, despite this all written in black and white and stashed away in law books, these things have not been encrypted in our hearts. That's why the fight for equal rights is still the outcry of today's world. Mrs Banks from Mary Poppins takes over this post with her song : 'Well done, Sister Suffragette' to remind us of why we sometimes carry signs and boards onto the streets shouting like mad people."Altogether now! 1,2,3....!"
Mrs Banks:
We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for woman's votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they're rather stupid!
Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
"Well done, Sister Suffragette!"
From Kensington to Billingsgate
One hears the restless cries!
From ev'ry corner of the land:
"Womankind, arise!"
Political equality and equal rights with men!
Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst
has been clapped in irons again!
No more the meek and mild subservients we!
We're fighting for our rights, militantly!
Never you fear!
So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
"Well done! Well done!
Well done Sister Suffragette!"
