so err.. What protest songs were they?

I have many in my repertoire from The Chartist movement, anti war songs from Crimean and even Napoleonic, many others lamenting conditions in the heat of the industrial revolution...

MacColl collected many Scottish protest songs from a hundred or two years back, thinking on. Many of them in that guttural language they used to use.

You do talk bollocks, even when not denigrating others.
