🧵5 Posts A century on, the 1926 General Strike stands as one of the most dramatic episodes in British working-class history. At one minute to midnight on 3 May 1926, around 1.7 million workers walked out in solidarity with 1.2 million coal miners who were facing wage cuts of 1/5
This powerful image captures strikers during the 1926 General Strike in the United Kingdom, a pivotal nine-day industrial dispute that brought the country to a standstill. The strike remains one of the most significant moments in British labour history. Although the TUC called it off after only nine days without gaining concessions for the miners, it remains a symbol of working-class solidarity and a defining moment for the British labour movement.

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”

I'm reading a book about modern England. It shows how we've been conquered, our wealth stolen, the South-East co-opted, the North destroyed, by a tiny minority whose loyalties lie elsewhere, their path smoothed by wealthy quislings.

Oh, no, wait. It's about 1066. How times change.

In 1938, one of my mother in law's cousins came back with a piece of paper bearing Hitler's signature upon it.

A carve up of Czechoslovakia was a price paid amongst other land grabs. An isolationist USA was not to be seen and a year later Europe was plunged into war.

The Prague Spring is a powerful example of a non-violent resistance movement. It shows that even when a movement is defeated, the idea of freedom can never be killed. #PragueSpring #NonViolentResistance #Czechoslovakia #LessonsOfHistory #Hope

“This isn’t the first time a movement whose members describe themselves as futurists has tried to usher in revolutionary change at any cost. The first time futurists turned to politics was roughly 80 years ago in pre-war Italy.”

The other crypto-fascism: how “Futurism” and the tech-right are making inroads into Latin America
Roughly 80 years ago, a similar “disruption and innovation” movement by the same name brought about the birth of fascism in Italy. The parallels are striking

The echoes of past uprisings resonate in today's movements. Paris Commune taught us solidarity, Kronstadt Rebellion warned of state betrayal, Occupy Wall Street reminded us of grassroots power. #LessonsOfHistory #RevolutionContinues

Look at this face. Everybody in 2026 need to remember that Nazis didn't liquidate only Jews and other targeted minorities – they hated also neighbouring Slavic peoples and anyone could get a one way ticket to the chambers for no reason.
