The Yorkist Orphans 

Margaret Pole, 8th Countess of Salisbury (b. 14 August 1473) and Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick (b. 25 February 1475) were the surviving children of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence and his wife Isabel Neville, daughter of ‘the Kingmaker’ Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. 

Their mother Isabel, died on 22 December 1476 at the age of 25, of either consumption or childbed fever. In response, their father had two servants killed, who he thought had poisoned her. On 18th February 1478 at the age of 28, their father George, was executed for treason against his own brother, Edward IV  and thus his lands and titles were forfeited. When Henry Tudor succeeded as Henry VII in 1485, he married their cousin Elizabeth of York and they were taken into their care. However, as Plantagenets and of tarnished Yorkist lineage, they were perceived as threats to the Tudor dynasty. In 1499, at the age of 24, Edward was executed for involvement in the plot to escape the Tower of London with Perkin Warbeck, who had impersonated Edward IV’s presumed-dead son Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York. 

Margaret would outlive her mother, father and siblings. She was also one of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the War of the Roses. However, in May 1539, an act of attainder was passed against herfor aiding and abetting her sons Henry and Reginald Pole and having ‘committed and perpetrated diverse and sundry other detestable and abominable treasons’. On 27 May 1541, Margaret, the Plantagenet heiress, was executed at the Tower of London. Just as her father and brother had been before her.

PSL party program pt. 1

https://on.soundcloud.com/Jf4BFXrp3au4AGy78

PSL is a vanguard party to lead the transition from capitalism to socialism

Housing is a human right; your home shouldn’t be owned by someone else; eliminate landlordism

Climate change: we need to switch to renewable energies, but the capitalist class has an interest in maintaining gas and coal; the American military is the largest contributor to climate change, thus we must eliminate it if we truly want to fight against climate change

Government intervention in the economy: the 2008 financial crisis, and the resulting Wall Street bail out, clearly demonstrated that our capitalist economy depends on government assistance. Instead of bankrolling ceos, the government should intervene in the economy on behalf of the working class. Banks should be state-owned.

Community safety: we need to dismantle the police state and set up community orgs to keep our neighborhoods safe

i do wanna say how it's interesting that aegon killing the ratcatchers is addressed as a thing that hurts their cause but rhaenys killing a bunch of smallfolk isn't. interesting indeed.
