“Civil disobedience on conscientious grounds has a long and honourable history in this country…” Lord Hoffman
Why do politicians create legislation that would have criminalised members of their generation, …..and even themselves in their youth….? Remember, #Peterloo ….

Image: Percy Bysshe Shelley / Alfred Clint (After Amelia Curran) / Wikimedia Commons / Public domain. A portrait of Shelley from the waist up, against a dark background. He is sitting with his right elbow resting on a light-brown wooden desk, wearing a dark jacket and an open-necked shirt with a large collar pulled up almost to his ears. In his right hand he holds a white-feathered quill.
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley, the year of the Peterloo Massacre.

The Peterloo tapestry, a long stretch of cloth covered with items created by the public to commemorate the Peterloo massacre, with a red woollen Liberty cap in the foreground
Also very good to see the Peterloo tapestry, created by members of the public in the run-up to the bicentenary in 2019, on display in the bar of 53two!

Musicians in 19th-century costume on stage with guitars, keyboards etc, in front of the image of a heart pierced by a sabre, labelled "Reformers of Peterloo".
Afterwards at 53two we saw Reformers of Peterloo perform Peterloo in Rock, a musical show about 1819 and the fight for democracy (have we won yet?) Featuring the art of @peterloomemorial.bsky.social's Polyp as an ever-shifting backdrop.
One more performance tonight 8pm!

August 16 was a Monday-a day when those working in the domestic textile industry took a day off. On this day the dressed in their best clothes, formed orderly lines and marched amiably from all parts of Manchester. They wanted the vote for men and the end of starvation for families.

Cover of Shelley's Mask of Anarchy poem.
Percy Shelley wrote about the 1819 Peterloo #massacre in his #poem, “The Masque of Anarchy.” Censored until 1832, 10 yrs after his death. Mike Leigh’s 2018 film #Peterloo is excellent portrayal of the massacre. Many #novels about it, too.

206 years ago today, the Peterloo Massacre saw violence unleashed on 60,000 peaceful civilians in Manchester as they gathered to demand Parliamentary reform. A dark chapter in our city’s history. #Peterloo #OTD

Heard "ThisWeek in History" on #BBCRadio4. Piece on #Peterloo. Surprised to hear it "helped garner support for voting Reform"
Rather surprised this C19th event led to support for F*r*g*. Listened again.It's abt where you put the emphasis. She SHOULD have read it as "support for VOTING reform". Phew
