Some things never change, not just politicians either, there's a few on A2K like this.

Privilege.
What Privilege is or is not no one cares,
The casuists all by Party zeal are led.
But oh! their dreary bout of splitting hairs,
Gives me a splitting head!

Sorry that I can't comment, y'all, been having some problems with my pc
Today is Bobby Darin's birthday, and here he is singing "the sea"
Although by 1887 strict Medieval tithing had long gone, the Church of England was (and still is) a major landowner.
Quote:
Very "Extraordinary Tithes."
A Contemporary records a not clearly intelligible case of
" Seizure for Tithes.—Three ricks of hay at Shinield, Berks, belong-
ing to the Rev. Bernard Body, clergyman of the Church of England, were
distrained upon yesterday by the Dean and Chapter of Hereford, for £50,
tithes and expenses."
According to a popular Scottish proverb, " hawks winna' pick oot
hawks' een." This adage is evidently at fault if there is no mistake
in the statement that a Dean and Chapter of the Established Church
distrained for tithes upon produce belonging to a clergyman of their
own cloth. And the matter is less excusable as it cannot be said
that it hurts no Body.
