Peterloo Massacre 200th anniversary 16th August

[Richard]

I go to the memorial every year at St Peters outside the g-mex.

The main campaign website with all info on events

Maxine peake John Henshaw and Christopher Ecclestone show up mostly and do readings and the Poem.

The campaign are pushing for a permament memorial, and have funded one which I think is being unvieled this aniversary the council have dragged their feet though over it.

There's a permanent memorial being built outside Manchester Central as we speak.

It should be part of the school curriculum. The events on that day play more of a point in life than knowing all the kings and queens.

Disgraceful if it's been removed, the Corn Laws and their impact on ordinary people - which led directly to Peterloo - were a key part of 19th C history when I did O-level back in 1970.

Did they alter the plans? There was a bit of a stink a few months back when the plan was revealed as it excluded wheel chair users
