Happy birthday, Percy Bysshe Shelley! Born on this day in 1792, Shelley wrote the Mask (or Masque) of Anarchy, a scathing satire on the hypocrisy of the English government and a call for true democracy, in 1819, after news of the Peterloo Massacre reached him in Italy.

@fkamiah17 @MarkAsser It will soon just be remembered in the history books, just like the Peterloo Massacre.
#Peterloo

It's 151 years since the death of Samuel Bamford, the weaver and Radical leader who was arrested at Peterloo.
Which reminds me that you can watch Manchester Histories' March salon, where Diane Duffy and Robert Poole discussed the work of Mrs Gaskell and Bamford himself, on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4Xpr0NQKkA&t=35s
(if you want to skip to the bit where Robert is discussing Bamford, it starts at 19.40 minutes!)

@bpolynet this is a monument to the people killed in the #Peterloo #massacre, so you might say our time will come again, democracy such as it is will prevail

This is the Mastodon account of the Peterloo Memorial Campaign, which has worked since 2007 to raise public awareness of the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, and campaigned for a public memorial in the heart of Manchester. We hold an annual commemoration on or near the anniversary of Peterloo, on 16 August. #Peterloo #ManchesterHistory #Democracy

16 août 1819 - Massacre de « Peterloo »

Le 16 août 1819, St-Peter's Fields, un champ à la lisière de Manchester (#Angleterre), est le théâtre du massacre dit de « #Peterloo » (contraction de St-Peter's et Waterloo !). C'est une étape douloureuse de la marche de l'Angleterre vers la #démocratie...
