1/- Cinderloo - in 1821 - 18months after Peterloo in Manchester England miners in Shropshire struck and were also attached by the yeomanry. Lots of local activists and amateur historians worked for the 200th anniversary but it was wrecked by lockdown.

In the future when we have a thriving community pub in #Dawley people will ask "where were you on the night the campaign to #savetheelephant was launched?"
"We were there!" will be the reply
Come and join us - its friendly, warm and full of character

David is my MP & I'm afraid this is very poor stuff. He appeared on the same platform as Corbyn at the Bernie Grant Centre in Tottenham on 13th March 2020 (I was there) to mark the 20th anniversary of Bernie's death. Corbyn was the keynote speaker. Rewriting history doesnt work
David Lammy apologises for nominating Corbyn to be Labour leader theguardian.com/politics/202…

It was a pleasure to see the fruits of all the hard work put in by Pete and all the other group members over the past few years to promote public interest in an important event in our shared history. Sadly, I now have to disown Cerys for joining the yeomanry.

Following reading this excellent imagining I Started rereading Darwen's own life story, written age 67 (my age) and looking back. He had a very privileged upbringing. so far this is his only observation of the working classes. – at Telford, England

Later on today I am speaking to @MarkLeeElliott on @BBCShropshire about #TouchTelford - our project to identify 100 items that tell the "People's history" of Telford & Wrekin in 10 periods. What items would you include?

#touchtelford A section of the original surface of the Roman Road that we recognise as Watling Street that linked Dover to Viroconium (Wroxeter). It sits within a cobbled section of Market Street, Oakengates and is walked upon everyday.

It coincided with the 200th anniversary of the execution of Thomas Palin for his part in the uprising, which arose because of a dispute over unfair pay for workers.

Tonight to mark the 200th anniversary of Tom Palin's execution we projected the names of all the men arrested, shot and hung on to front of the Dana Prison. RIP Thomas Palin

200 years ago today Tom Paulin was hung at Shrewsbury jail. His crime? Trying to free protesters on wage cuts who had been seized by the Yeomanry. The event was named #cinderloo An echo of Peterloo in 1819. kmflett.wordpress.com/2021/0…

In the last few minutes, one of the leaders of striking workers who clashed with troops in Shropshire in February has been hanged in Shrewsbury. Miner Thomas Palin had been convicted of rioting. Two strikers had died when soldiers fired on protestors near Dawley [modern Telford].

Two men died after troops opened fire on a crowd of 3,000 miners, iron workers and their families who were protesting over pay cuts. The man condemned to die today led an attempt to rescue a group of demonstrators from police custody in the clash near Dawley [modern Telford].

Appeals for Thomas Palin's sentence to be commuted to transportation to the New South Wales colony have been rejected by the Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth. Those seeking clemency included local business leaders whose property was damaged during the disturbances in early February.

It's Saturday 7 April 1821. Barely two months after striking coal and iron workers faced the military in a violent confrontation in Shropshire, one of the ringleaders is to be executed later today for the crime of rioting. Thomas Palin will be hanged outside Shrewsbury jail.

I assume folk here remember the Peterloo graphic novel was made possible by a crowdfunder... my new one, 'Tom Paine's Bones' uses same model, do please check it out, give it a retweet, and back it if you can! kickstarter.com/projects/tom…

William Bird (18) lost his life at the scene of the confrontation, but Thomas Gittins, also known as Ingle, died later of his injuries. A number of fellow miners attended the inquest, as well as friends and family of the two men. @cinderloo1821
