	Poplar Rates Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poplar (now in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets) was one of the poorest districts of London; there was no government support to alleviate the high unemployment, hunger, and poverty in the borough, which had to be funded by the borough itself under the poor law.
		However, Poplar ratepayers were charged a precept to pay for the London County Council, Metropolitan Police, Metropolitan Asylum Board and the Metropolitan Water Board.
		The council's response was to organise a procession of 2,000 supporters from Bow, led by the borough's official mace-bearer, to the accompaniment of a band and a banner proclaiming, "Poplar Borough Council marching to the High Court and possibly to prison".
