'No Poll Tax' Badge

Donated by David (Muirhouse)

This badge from 1989 holds particular significance due to the strong history of political activism and resistance in Muirhouse. Particularly through the periods of social austerity and Thatcherite politics of the 1980’s Muirhouse and Pilton saw a strong solidarity movement working for social justice and political reform.

The anti poll tax campaign of 1989 was fought with particular passion and tenacity by residents of North Edinburgh and is still recalled as a time of great ‘people power’, resistance and community cohesion.
