The idea

The anchor says further protection took decades of struggle and stops. The witness supplies it: the Combination Act banning unions, the Tolpuddle laborers transported, skilled workers' unions from the eighteen fifties, and legalization by the Trade Union Act of eighteen seventy-one.

In practice

The exam's reform movement ends here.

Where people slip

Witness-built; the Reform Act of eighteen sixty-seven is in no source and is disclosed.
