Green Island or La Motte is a tidal island in the parish of St Clement on the south-east coast of Jersey (Channel Islands)
It is situated near the sea shore and is accessible at low tide but visitors to the Island need to be careful not to be cut off by the incoming tide. The island has a grassy surface and is predominantly clay surrounded by rocks. In recent times efforts have been made to preserve the Island by the construction of walls.
At low tide around Green Island are various rocks which are interesting to explore.

Pick up the pitchforks.
Pick up the pitchforks. Is a good slogan for when the masses want to march.
Pitch forks at the ready.
A pitchfork is an agricultural tool with a long handle and long, thin, widely separated pointed tines (also called prongs) used to lift and pitch (throw) loose material, such as hay, leaves, grapes, dung or other agricultural materials. Pitchforks typically have two or three tines. Other similar types of fork may have up to six tines with different lengths and spacing depending on purpose. They are usually made of steel with a long wooden handle, but may also be made from wood, wrought iron, bamboo, alloy etc.
Because of its association with peasantry, the pitchfork is often a populist symbol and part of the nickname of populist leaders, thus:
Pitchfork Ben (Benjamin Tillman)
Pitchfork Pat (Pat Buchanan)
It is often used as a term for right wing politicians. Despite left wingers often representing the working classes. Like the term redneck which was used to describe poor people who were oppressed for supporting left wing movements, it has been turned on its head to be a term used to abuse right wing working class people.
Perhaps left wingers should use the term to show they represent the poor.
Both right wingers and left wingers may want to be known as pitchfork politicians to show they represent ordinary people.
