• That's not really what the levellers were about at all. They were, in as much as they were an homogeneous group, concerned with sovereignty, suffrage and more equal treatment under the law.

    Neil is thinking of the Diggers, I think.

    "
    In 1649
    To St George's Hill
    A ragged band they called the Diggers
    Came to show the people' s will
    They defied the landlords
    They defied the laws
    They were the dispossessed
    Reclaiming what was theirs

    We come in peace, they said
    To dig and sow
    We come to work the land in common
    And to make the waste land grow
    This earth divided
    We will make whole
    So it can be
    A common treasury for all. "
