Hard to imagine 1000 dead soldiers on these fields in 1642

Looks like being a good weekend for murders, rapists, burglars and muggers - the police (and prisons) will be occupied dealing with roque grannies demonstrating against the ongoing killing of children and civilians .
Is this what the Labour Party has descended to?

A busy weekend ahead at a National Conference in Nottingham
