Just time to wish a happy 238th birthday to Samuel Bamford, weaver, writer, poet and Radical, who led the Middleton contingent to Peterloo in August 1819.

In early April 1820, what could have been a significant uprising occurred in the West Riding of Yorkshire, It was closely linked to unrest in the west of Scotland, particularly around Glasgow and the aftermath of the "Peterloo" trials. The unrest unfolded in several towns. 1/3

Today in 1819, working people in Manchester gathered peacefully to demand the right to vote. The authorities sent the troops in & 18 people were killed. This event reminds us that every right we have was fought for. In Manchester today commemorating the Peterloo massacre.

I was at the commemoration today at the Peterloo Memorial in Manchester; proud to have read out a name of one of the victims - Thomas Ashton, a special constable killed by so-called 'friendly fire' - cut down by a fellow constable's sabre then trampled to death.

Wonderful local banner made in commemoration of Peterloo massacre and those who gave their all. Carried as we walked the same path as those folk 200 years later in 2019.
