@ThomasKnorra Hi Thomas

I'm Dave and while talking with @walsonde I saw a picture of #LucyParsons Sweet Baby Moses 😳, what a backstory this person has, to say the least!

Reading about her, while completely unconnected, made me think about the #PeterlooMasacre

The Peterloo Massacre can be framed in a number of ways. First and foremost it reflects the states use of #armed #sociopaths if not #psychopath s brought in to brutalise & murder innocent protesters. Thanks, I appreciate the memory jog

More than a little disturbing. Whether you agree with #protests or not, the right to protest has long been a part of British democracy.
