A new Peterloo jug is news, because all known examples are printed over a leftover batch commemorating an admiral. This one is part of a new batch on a purpose-made jug, indicating sustained demand. On display soon at the People’s History Museum.

Not just an amazing relic- but, I think, quite rare for a street map to be used as an illustration? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #peterloo

A City fan on the radio has just likened the club’s rule breaking to historical examples of Mancunian protest and insubordination - like the suffragettes and Peterloo.

#OtD 8 Jul 1822 English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley died aged just 29 when his boat sank. After the Peterloo massacre he wrote: "Rise like Lions after slumber… Shake your chains to earth like dew… Ye are many—they are few!" More about Peterloo: workingclasshistory.com/2018/11/07/e...

It's not really a mistake in writing these books that the Regency era's later bookend is pretty much coincident with the Peterloo massacre and the increasing fights for the widespread franchise.

Policing, that blunt instrument of capitalist dominion, arose from transatlantic elite schemes to crush working-class uprisings like the Gordon Riots and Peterloo Massacre, ensuring the rabble's submission to exploitation. #PoliceAbolition

"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!"

Shelley, from a poem written after the Peterloo Massacre
The cop cars were pushed out and have left the crowd of protestors.

There are millions more of us than there are of them. Never forget that.

LA is successfully fending off cops despite tons of feds and now national guard troops.
