Peterloo Graphic Novel

@hisjlm Nudge... : ) phm.org.uk/events_new/cou… Have plugged the Leeds plaque everywhere.

@PeterlooBook Remind me when I am in home!

Magnificent mushrooms on Marsden golf course. I half expected a pixie to pop out 😀

Excellent! Do please share and support this crowdfunder. The chartists absolutely carried the Peterloo torch...

@hisjlm When you back?

One of the challenging issues I raise: did the 'pacifism' of Hunt & Bamford's 'nothing even like a weapon' policy just lead people to their deaths / severe injuries..?

This should be good and lively, with challenging themes relevant to modern protest movements / conflicts... phm.org.uk/events_new/cou… Sat 23rd Nov.

@hisjlm More on the way, if you can do your publicity magic? phm.org.uk/events_new/cou… Newport Rising fest in early Nov + skeleton puppet! Just emailed Chester Zoo re Sally. They recently saved a spider from extinction that looks just like her...

@PeterlooBook Good to hear you were a hit in Glossop!

@The1Apostate I'll always agree with folk re that, UNLESS it's the ones using such an argument as a cover for their genuine racism, natch. A tricky rope to balance on, at times. Toon c/o polyp.org.uk

@hisjlm It is a funny thought, though, eh..? FORE! PS First proper talk re COURAGE in Glossop went well... I didn't get lynched, even though folk were a bit shocked by Ch 4.

@PeterlooBook Ha ha of course I don't play golf. I was taking a short cut!

@hisjlm Ah knoos... : )

Coming up this week, the Glossop launch for my short history book, one that gives a lively and challenging context to Peterloo and the shockingly violent fight for the vote... eventbrite.co.uk/e/curiosity-cl…

My updated and streamlined website now open! Latest title 'COURAGE' gives a very interesting context to PETERLOO... (Which is also there, in a freshly printed new edition.) polyp.org.uk/books/courage-…

For the rich as well, right?

#OTD in 1819, a peaceful pro-democracy rally of 60,000 people was attacked by government militia at St Peter's Field, Manchester. 15 people were killed & over 600 injured. Inviting mocking comparisons with Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, the event became known as #Peterloo (1/2)

16th August is the 205th anniversary of The Peterloo Massacre. Middleton Library's display details those casualties who were from the Middleton area. We also have a replica banner on display. #Peterloo
