IN PART one of this feature based on John Rees's new book about John Lilburne and the Levellers, we rediscovered the leftist Lilburne, affirmed his democratic credentials and learned there was no working class, as we would understand it, in 17th century England.
In the final part, Rees addresses the importance of Lilburne today, for activists and the electorate, when the call for meaningful democratic participation is stronger than ever.
James Florey of Veterans For Peace UK asks how relevant is John Lilburne and his work today?
As with any historical experience, it's always that part of it is relevant and part of it isn't.
