Walking with the weavers 200 years after the Lancashire uprising Former mill towns in the West Pennine Moors tell the story of the workers’ rebellion against power looms, the new machines decimating their livelihoods

Hey if you fancy a walk but you can’t get out, read this from @traveloguer.bsky.social

Enthusiastic embrace of unnecessary cruelty. And apparently tolerated by all those MPs. Why is there no response from them?

I tried Prosect but it is very boring. Lots of short clickbait articles. Perhaps it will improve with a better editor
