Walking tour to celebrate WWI objector John Burns
A LONDON trades council will this weekend celebrate a socialist MP’s principled resignation from government over Britain’s race to join the first world war.
Battersea and Wandsworth TUC unveiled plans for a walking tour of John Burns’s former constituency yesterday — exactly 100 years after the outbreak of the war.
Members will retrace the steps of BWTUC’s founder, beginning at 1pm at his grave in Battersea before a dedication at the union-owned Bread and Roses pub in Clapham at 4pm.
