I thought that sort of thing was the duty of the Lord Mayor of London?

Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
Heh, understatement of the year. He could probably have added that what actually happened wasn't similar either...The political and the cultural background and context are not similar
Also-the Peterloo massacre? What the hell?!

Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
As a Mancunian I grew up with the 'Peterloo' massacre. It really doesn't bear any resemblance with what happened in Tiananmen Square. A few drunken (and scared) militiamen on horseback with swords 200 years ago cannot compare with modern day tanks and troops.
Hmmm...I feel a Monastery thread coming on....
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
One does have to admire how well he makes himself look aloof though, and how well it works on voters. At least I hope he intends it.By the way, what's up with "aunty" being a source? Is it Midlands and up thing?
Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
Auntie is one of the most reputable news and general broadcasting agencies in the world, and certainly the most renown, so there is no better source...

I meant it was still talked about by my great-Grandmother who was born in 1874. I think some of her (mine) great-Uncles were there. She died when I was 8 years old.
I shall make enquiries from my dad.

Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
Was he referring to the Poll Tax riots or did he have something else in mind? For example:
The original Bloody Sunday
I expect even he knows that Peterloo happened in Manchester.
btw IA, I hope no-one else in Keighley reads this board or they will be expelling you. In a previous thread you described it as being "part of Bradford" and now you have admitted to being a Lancastrian! Your passionate support for Landlord ale is insufficient mitigation.

We all learn from experience. Unfortunately we don't all learn as much as we should.
