THE Peterloo massacre was a shameful event, showing how far the ruling class will go to keep control of the unwashed.
In fact it was the case that the real figure would of been 50 dead. Many had sword cuts and there was little medical aid.
Also you write Henry Hunt retired to Whitchurch, but not before he was imprisoned for three years.
Could that happen today?
Yes it could.
