Today in Labor History December 2, 1867: British author Charles Dickens gave his first public reading in the United States at Tremont Temple in Boston. He described his impressions of the U.S. in a travelogue, “American Notes for General Circulation.” In Notes, he condemned slavery and correlated the emancipation of the poor in England with the abolition of slavery abroad. Despite his abolitionist sentiments, some modern commentators have criticized him for not condemning Britain’s harsh crackdown during the 1860s Morant Bay rebellion in Jamaica. During his American visit, he also spent a month in New York, giving lectures, and arguing for international copyright laws and against the pirating of his work in America. The press ridiculed him, saying he should be grateful for his popularity here.

Today in Labor History December 2, 1859: The authorities hanged abolitionist John Brown in Charleston, Virginia for his leadership of a plot to incite a slave rebellion. Victor Hugo, who was living in exile on Guernsey, tried to obtain a pardon for him. His open letter was published by the press on both sides of the Atlantic. His plea failed, of course. On the day of his execution, John Brown rode in a furniture wagon, on top of his own coffin, through a crowd of 2,000 soldiers, to the gallows. The soldiers included future Confederate general Stonewall Jackson and John Wilkes Booth. Walt Whitman described the execution in his poem “Year of Meteors.”

So, lemme get this straight:
1) The Pogues wrote & recorded an iconic Christmas song in which the singer's highly vernacular lyrics compare her lover to a "cheap lousy [homophobic slur]."
2) The Pogues later realized that the slur was both hurtful & harmful, and recorded a new version of the song in which the singer remark is changed to "you're cheap and you're haggard."
3) The man whose portrait lives in the dictionary under "poo-faced," aka Laurence Fox, tweets a demand for the BBC to be defunded unless the slur-bearing version of the song hits the top of charts for Xmas 2020.
4) The authors of both versions of the song respond in the truest High Pogues fashion , by tweeting:
"Fuck off you little herrenvolk shite."
