It Takes A Cock or does it? Clare Chandler, University of Wolverhampton @mrstandler
CHICK 1 Reckon. This is way better than normal lessons. I might actually learn something. MS DUNNOCK You know, you changed quite a bit of History back there. It was Emmeline that lead the rush on Parliament, not Christabel. CHICK 1 Nah, the way I see it, Chrissy would have been at the front. She was running things by this point, not Emmeline. MS DUNNOCK Just don t forget Emmeline is the one in Time Magazines top one hundred birds.
CHRISTABEL Exactly, the public are behind us, right now we can do what we want. If we wait, if we do nothing, we re seen as weak Hens who can t finish what they started. HARRY Don t do it Mother. CHRISTABEL Harry, you weren t even there, I don t know why you re talking. HARRY It s my bit. CHRISTABEL Mother sent you off to be a builder and you couldn t even hack that. You re a cock, you ve got no right to tell this story, now be quiet. EMMELINE (To Christabel) Darling CHRISTABEL It has to be you Mother. We ll do it together. Not as lawbreakers, but as law-makers. That s what I ll say in court. (To Harry) Make yourself useful, get this circulated.

CHRISTABEL Anyway thats quite enough of that. SYLIVA I hadn t finished. CHRISTABEL Like your relationship. On off . SYLVIA It was complicated. CHRISTABEL Yeah, he was married and old as Daddy. Weird if you ask me. SYLVIA Miss she s not letting anyone else have a go. CHRISTABEL Just one more bit. Promise. She clicks her fingers. Sylvia exits. CHRISTABEL Anyway, Sylvia getting it on with Keir did do one thing for us. An introduction to someone who would change the course of the Angry Birds.
ADELA Hang on, wait. This is all wrong this meeting didnt even take place We didn t all three meet face to face Sylvia came January I was summoned later SYLVIA You were Summoned ADELA Yeah, by the mighty dictator CHRISTABEL I thought this way had more commercial appeal SYLVIA But it s not the truth CHRISTABEL Haven t you learned? The truth isn t real! Part fact, part fiction shoved in a blender Whomever tells the story pushes their agenda It s more than facts miss said It s in your heart and head You gotta live it breathe it or it ll end up dead Just another page in another book Not worth a look forget all the suffering a revolution took The truth s re-written all the time On social media we don t even see it it s such a crime
#IcantKeepQuiet #Anthem in the Women's March on Washington. SONG BY MILCK - https://www.icantkeepquiet.org/thesong/ Day 1 - These women are from different states and never met till today. They practiced this song online. I was crying the whole time I filmed this. Show them some love. #WomensMarch #ANTHEM #Icantkeepquiet #TogetherWeRise SECOND DAY - Woke up to 3 million views! Hello world x I'm adding some more details here because everyone is asking in private messages and I can't answer y'all but I'm so incredibly happy and thankful. So to answer.... I'm a film and commercial director (www.almaharel.com) and was in the march to support women of all races around the world coming together and get heard. I did not know these women and the artist. I now found out she goes under the name of MILCK (Icantkeepquiet.org) and that she gathered women from all around the country to sing this #Anthem at the #WomensMarch . They practiced it online using Skype and they only met once before the march. Some met that day for the first time! I was lucky or sent (depending on your preference) to stumble upon her. My phone's battery died from the cold and I was lost and with out my friends who were back stage. I was wondering around trying to navigate the incredible crowds when I found my self this pocket of space around these women. When they started singing, I checked on my phone frustrated that it's dead and it suddenly sprung back to life... :) hence missing the beginning. This song and it's sentiment made me cry tears of relief the whole time I was filming it. The beauty and the harmony of their voices captured for me how women can come together to find their voice. I find it healing and empowering in the best possible way. No one can explain you the feeling of being surrounded by that number of women from every race who come together all around the world. 627 marches! #TOGETHERWERISE None of us are free until we are all free. This march was special because it accounted for all women of all races. Women of color and poor women are most likely to suffer more from this administration than anyone. Same goes for immigrants. We marched for people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, Muslims, people with disabilities and all our communities that "are hurting and scared". ALSO stop trying to tell us we don't know what's happening in the middle east... I am from the middle east and this song is for women everywhere. Stop dividing us. HUGE GRATITUDE to the 3 WOMEN OF COLOR WHO ORGANIZED WOMEN'S MARCH @TamikaDMallory @lsarsour @msladyjustice1 and to Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, Gloria Steinem and the millions of women who marched! Let me finish by posting all the lyrics for I CAN'T KEEP QUIET. Let's make it our #Anthem. I hope to sing it with you on our next march because WHEN WE HARMONIZE THEY CAN'T DIVIDE US. #TogetherWeRise #OneWomansRiot #iCantkeepquiet Quiet Written by MILCK and AG Produced by AG put on your face know your place shut up and smile don t spread your legs I could do that But no one knows me no one ever will if I don t say something, if I just lie still Would I be that monster, scare them all away If I let the-em hear what I have to say I can t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh I can t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I can t keep quiet For anyone Anymore Cuz no one knows me no one ever will if I don t say something, take that dry blue pill they may see that monster, they may run away But I have to do this, do it anyway I can t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh I can t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh I can t keep quiet Let it out Let it out Let it out now There ll be someone who understands Let it out Let it out Let it out now Must be someone who ll understand Let it out Let it out Let it out now There ll be someone who understands Let it out Let it out Let it out now I can t keep quiet
