Irish dock workers striking to prevent the export of food to Britain during a period of food insecurity in Ireland, 1920

We were also in the middle of the Irish War of Independence, that feels like important context.

As a note, this strike was successful, and significantly relieved food insecurity in Dublin.

Off topic but It's always interesting to me how people always used to wear hats, and now seldom do. What happened to discourage daily hat usage?

"the FUCK you gonna do?" on their faces makes me immeasurably happy
