Peterloo Memorial Campaign
Today is the 250th birthday of Henry Hunt, the Radical orator arrested in 1819 at the Manchester rally now known as Peterloo. He was tried for Conspiracy to Excite Terror and Rioting (in reality, it was the soldiers who rioted) and jailed for 30 months, but served as Preston's MP from 1830 to 1832. While in Parliament, he was ridiculed by fellow MPs for presenting a petition for women to be given the vote.

I am touched that Henry Hunt's namesake, an opening batter for South Australia men's team, marked the Radical orator's 250th birthday by scoring an unbeaten century at Brisbane in the #SheffieldShield. Hope he extends it to 250 tomorrow! https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sheffield-shield-2023-24-1391768/queensland-vs-south-australia-12th-match-1391781/full-scorecard
