The Jolly George protest 1920. A war was stopped: the story of the dockers and the Jolly George, by Harry Pollitt. 1935. The Hands off Russia campaign was launched in 1919 to organise opposition to British intervention on the side of the anti-Bolshevik armies in the Russian Civil War, following the 1917 revolution. On May 10, 1920, London dock workers refused to load the ‘Jolly George’ ship with British armaments bound for Poland to be used against the Red Army, and significantly, the District Secretary of the official Dockers' Union backed their action.
