Question

“Select bands of unemployed from the depressed areas marched on London where they demonstrated to little purpose. Their progress through the country, however, was a propaganda stroke of great effect. The Hunger marchers displayed the failures of Capitalism. Middle class people felt the call of conscience. They set up soup kitchens for the marchers and
accommodated them in local schools”
How far do you agree with this interpretation of the impact that Hunger marches had in the 1930s?

Agree.
