The Masque of Anarchy
As I lay asleep in Italy There came a voice from over the Sea And with great power it forth led me To walk in the visions of Poesy.

On this day in 1819, cavalry cut down a peaceful assembly of working men, women and children at St Peter’s Field, Manchester. 15 killed, 600+ injured, simply for demanding bread & a vote. The #PeterlooMassacre reminds us that every right the working class has was won in blood, not gifted from above.

The #Tasmania link to the #TolpuddleMartyrs is that #GeorgeLoveless was transported here in 1834 for making an unlawful oath, but it was really for forming a union to protest wage cuts.
Every Tasmanian need to know about our proud union history, and honour our Tolpuddle comrades. #convicthistory
