The Corn Law Rhymer

After hearing some 1980s style open mic ranty poetry earlier this week, and then spreadsheeting a few early c19th Prime Ministers, I wondered whether the reform movement of that time had its own People's Poet. Indeed it did and his name was Ebenezer Elliott. It's actually his real name, although enough time has passed for a modern day open-mic poet to adopt it again.
