Lee speaks on suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst and political donations reform

Some even died. Yet their sacrifices are being trashed by the corruption and dishonesty of some contemporary politicians, and a political donations regime which literally sells votes to the highest bidder—votes which they died for.
