- 00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:18,661
- Speaker: The prime minister.
- 2
- 00:03:21,125 --> 00:03:24,538
- My lords,
- I believe it unnecessary long
- 3
- 00:03:24,625 --> 00:03:26,661
- to occupy the attention of the house
- 4
- 00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:30,493
- upon the subject of the motion
- which I am about to submit.
- 5
- 00:03:30,583 --> 00:03:34,405
- I am called upon by his royal
- highness, the prince regent,
- 6
- 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:35,990
- to propose a measure
- 7
- 00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,790
- calculated farther
- to commemorate the glory
- 8
- 00:03:38,875 --> 00:03:40,740
- of the Duke of Wellington.
- 9
- 00:03:40,833 --> 00:03:41,948
- Lords: Hear, hear.
- 10
- 00:03:42,042 --> 00:03:47,287
- After such an heroic action
- as that of the 18th of June,
- 11
- 00:03:47,375 --> 00:03:49,912
- after a victory
- which presented a display
- 12
- 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,787
- of all the great qualities
- of a general -
- 13
- 00:03:52,875 --> 00:03:55,457
- whether for defensive
- or offensive warfare,
- 14
- 00:03:55,542 --> 00:03:57,874
- whether for resistance
- or attack,
- 15
- 00:03:57,958 --> 00:04:01,997
- whether for gallantry,
- perseverance, or skill -
- 16
- 00:04:02,083 --> 00:04:03,914
- I would ask whether,
- 17
- 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,164
- after a victory
- unparalleled in history,
- 18
- 00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:11,822
- parliament could be
- conceived to do its duty,
- 19
- 00:04:11,917 --> 00:04:15,580
- if it merely confined itself
- to a vote of thanks,
- 20
- 00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:19,285
- and declined to present
- any further evidence
- 21
- 00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:22,412
- of public gratitude
- to the Valiant leader
- 22
- 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,582
- of such a signal victory...
- 23
- 00:04:24,667 --> 00:04:28,080
- If it refused to make
- an adequate provision
- 24
- 00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:31,659
- for this celebrated conqueror
- and his family.
- 25
- 00:04:33,625 --> 00:04:36,082
- I move a resolution
- 26
- 00:04:36,167 --> 00:04:38,624
- that this house
- Grant to his grace,
- 27
- 00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:41,290
- the Duke of Wellington,
- as farther proof
- 28
- 00:04:41,375 --> 00:04:44,117
- of the gratitude
- of the British nation...
- 29
- 00:04:44,208 --> 00:04:48,156
- The sum of £750,000.
- 30
- 00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:51,457
- Hear, hear! Lords: Hear, hear!
- 31
- 00:05:18,208 --> 00:05:19,414
- General byng, sir,
- 32
- 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:22,287
- lord sidmouth
- is now at Liberty erm...
- 33
- 00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:33,874
- Oh, beware the step, sir, yes.
- 34
- 00:05:41,833 --> 00:05:43,369
- Sidmouth: Enter.
- 35
- 00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:45,706
- Fr fr...
- 36
- 00:05:45,792 --> 00:05:47,999
- G-general byng, your lordship.
- 37
- 00:05:48,083 --> 00:05:48,993
- Sir John.
- 38
- 00:05:49,083 --> 00:05:50,823
- - Home secretary.
- - Welcome, sir.
- 39
- 00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:52,248
- Pray, do be seated.
- 40
- 00:05:53,375 --> 00:05:54,865
- I thank you.
- 41
- 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,536
- Let me see...
- 42
- 00:06:01,292 --> 00:06:04,910
- Yes, your father.
- I trust he is in good health?
- 43
- 00:06:06,042 --> 00:06:07,578
- Sadly not, sir.
- 44
- 00:06:08,542 --> 00:06:10,373
- Yes. No, please, do forgive me.
- 45
- 00:06:10,458 --> 00:06:14,906
- I did so enjoy his company -
- despite our differing opinions.
- 46
- 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,286
- - Splendid fellow.
- - Thank you, sir.
- 47
- 00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:21,162
- It is a great honour
- to be in your presence.
- 48
- 00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:23,081
- The honour is all mine,
- your lordship.
- 49
- 00:06:23,167 --> 00:06:27,160
- Your achievements have been
- nothing short of... olympic.
- 50
- 00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:29,241
- You flatter me, sir.
- 51
- 00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:30,573
- Enter.
- 52
- 00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:32,703
- Good morning, your lordship.
- 53
- 00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:34,407
- Good morning, sir.
- 54
- 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,081
- Would you care for some tea, sir?
- 55
- 00:06:36,167 --> 00:06:38,249
- - No, thank you, madam.
- - Oh.
- 56
- 00:06:38,333 --> 00:06:41,075
- And how are you feeling today,
- lord sidmouth?
- 57
- 00:06:41,167 --> 00:06:42,657
- Much better, thank you,
- mrs moss.
- 58
- 00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:45,332
- I'm so very pleased to hear it.
- 59
- 00:06:45,417 --> 00:06:47,408
- There we are.
- 60
- 00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,582
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- 61
- 00:06:54,458 --> 00:06:57,074
- I must own, your lordship,
- that my knowledge of life
- 62
- 00:06:57,167 --> 00:06:59,203
- is limited
- beyond that of a soldier.
- 63
- 00:06:59,292 --> 00:07:01,328
- And... you'll forgive me
- for saying,
- 64
- 00:07:01,417 --> 00:07:03,578
- but I have little time
- for politics.
- 65
- 00:07:03,667 --> 00:07:05,658
- Excellent, sir.
- 66
- 00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:08,583
- I have little time
- for politics myself.
- 67
- 00:07:10,708 --> 00:07:12,118
- You, sir, are...
- 68
- 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,833
- Perfectly qualified,
- if I may say so.
- 69
- 00:07:17,917 --> 00:07:20,033
- Might I ask
- how I may be of service?
- 70
- 00:07:20,125 --> 00:07:22,366
- I would wish to appoint you
- 71
- 00:07:22,458 --> 00:07:24,289
- commander of the northern district.
- 72
- 00:07:24,375 --> 00:07:27,208
- The northern district? Not Ireland?
- 73
- 00:07:27,292 --> 00:07:29,499
- - No, sir, not Ireland.
- - I see.
- 74
- 00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:34,114
- Might you be familiar
- with the north of england?
- 75
- 00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:35,750
- Barely, sir.
- 76
- 00:07:35,792 --> 00:07:38,124
- My late mother was Yorkshire.
- 77
- 00:07:38,208 --> 00:07:40,950
- Her family seat
- was wentworth castle.
- 78
- 00:07:41,042 --> 00:07:44,079
- Wellington has nothing
- but the highest praise
- 79
- 00:07:44,167 --> 00:07:45,373
- for your achievements.
- 80
- 00:07:45,458 --> 00:07:47,039
- Thank you, sir.
- 81
- 00:07:47,125 --> 00:07:49,832
- I had the great privilege
- of serving alongside his grace
- 82
- 00:07:49,917 --> 00:07:51,327
- on many a campaign.
- 83
- 00:07:51,417 --> 00:07:53,954
- Yorkshire is indeed
- a splendid county.
- 84
- 00:07:54,042 --> 00:07:57,660
- However, on the other side
- of the pennine hills...
- 85
- 00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:00,869
- In Manchester...
- 86
- 00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:03,825
- And the surrounding towns
- of lancashire,
- 87
- 00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:05,202
- there is a sickness.
- 88
- 00:08:05,292 --> 00:08:09,285
- A dangerous threat
- of rampant insurrection.
- 89
- 00:08:09,375 --> 00:08:10,990
- Indeed, sir.
- 90
- 00:08:11,083 --> 00:08:12,994
- Enter.
- 91
- 00:08:13,083 --> 00:08:14,198
- Ah, hobhouse.
- 92
- 00:08:17,458 --> 00:08:19,244
- General sir John byng,
- 93
- 00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:22,291
- mr hobhouse,
- my permanent under-secretary.
- 94
- 00:08:22,375 --> 00:08:24,161
- It is a great honour
- to meet you, sir John.
- 95
- 00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:27,208
- Now, hobhouse,
- henceforth sir John
- 96
- 00:08:27,292 --> 00:08:30,329
- is to enjoy full access to all files
- 97
- 00:08:30,417 --> 00:08:34,615
- concerning seditious activity
- in the north.
- 98
- 00:08:34,708 --> 00:08:36,244
- - Excellent.
- - Am I to understand
- 99
- 00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:38,198
- that you wish me
- to commence forthwith?
- 100
- 00:08:38,292 --> 00:08:40,658
- Indeed we do.
- 101
- 00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:42,706
- - Very well, sir.
- - Splendid.
- 102
- 00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:04,115
- Is this the way to Manchester?
- 103
- 00:09:04,208 --> 00:09:05,948
- Aye, you're on t'right track,
- lad.
- 104
- 00:09:06,042 --> 00:09:08,579
- - Just keep going.
- - Thanking you.
- 105
- 00:10:00,417 --> 00:10:01,417
- Joseph!
- 106
- 00:10:04,958 --> 00:10:07,324
- Come on, son.

- Come on.
- 109
- 00:10:14,542 --> 00:10:16,533
- What's this?
- 110
- 00:10:17,958 --> 00:10:20,074
- Let's get this off you.
- 111
- 00:10:20,167 --> 00:10:22,203
- Come on, son.
- 112
- 00:10:22,292 --> 00:10:24,328
- There we go. Come on.
- 113
- 00:10:36,458 --> 00:10:38,449
- Come on, son.
- 114
- 00:10:38,542 --> 00:10:40,658
- Come on, get this down you.
- 115
- 00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:43,164
- Come on, son.
- 116
- 00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:45,832
- Hey, now - no skriking.
- 117
- 00:10:46,875 --> 00:10:49,036
- Come on.
- 118
- 00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:52,032
- Hey, come on.
- 119
- 00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:56,957
- Mother's here.

- Enh?

- Now, son.

- He were bleeding.
- 124
- 00:12:13,250 --> 00:12:15,491
- - Right, aggie?
- - All right, father?
- 125
- 00:12:15,583 --> 00:12:17,164
- It were streaming down his face.
- 126
- 00:12:17,250 --> 00:12:18,615
- - Were it?
- - Aye.
- 127
- 00:12:18,708 --> 00:12:19,868
- He deserved it, though.
- 128
- 00:12:19,958 --> 00:12:22,040
- He's been late three times this week.
- 129
- 00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:28,949
- Aye, he were bleeding.
- 130
- 00:12:29,042 --> 00:12:31,033
- A right mess.
- 131
- 00:12:39,917 --> 00:12:41,327
- Esther: He's wiped out.
- 132
- 00:12:41,417 --> 00:12:43,078
- Nellie: He gave me
- the fright of me life.
- 133
- 00:12:43,167 --> 00:12:46,125
- - Did he say owt?
- - No, not a whistle.
- 134
- 00:12:46,208 --> 00:12:48,574
- - He's not changed, then!
- - Aye.
- 135
- 00:12:49,583 --> 00:12:50,823
- - Uh-uh!
- - Leave it, lad!
- 136
- 00:12:50,917 --> 00:12:52,748
- - George!
- - No, no, no.
- 137
- 00:12:52,833 --> 00:12:55,666
- Now, let's put that
- out of harm's way.
- 138
- 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:57,081
- Robert: Sit still for a minute.
- 139
- 00:12:57,167 --> 00:12:59,453
- Esther: We'll be going for us
- tea soon, lad.
- 140
- 00:12:59,542 --> 00:13:00,952
- Mary:
- 'Ey, we've woken him up now.
- 141
- 00:13:01,042 --> 00:13:02,407
- Joe�

- Nellie: We're all here.
- Come on, let's sit thee up.

- - I've done you some broth.
- 144
- 00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:14,082
- - You 'right, father?
- - Aye, lad.
- 145
- 00:13:14,167 --> 00:13:16,123
- Sit thee down, father.
- 146
- 00:13:18,583 --> 00:13:19,948
- Sit down, son.
- 147
- 00:13:20,042 --> 00:13:21,407
- - Esther?
- - Aye.
- 148
- 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,491
- Get me a spoon.
- 149
- 00:13:24,333 --> 00:13:26,244
- Now, mind - it's hot.
- 150
- 00:13:26,333 --> 00:13:27,823
- Here y'are.
- 151
- 00:13:29,292 --> 00:13:32,534
- - It's George.
- - Aye, he's got big.
- 152
- 00:13:32,625 --> 00:13:34,286
- Ooh, you can say that again.
- 153
- 00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:35,911
- He has.
- 154
- 00:13:37,958 --> 00:13:39,198
- It's a baby.
- 155
- 00:13:40,125 --> 00:13:42,457
- Aye, little Sarah.
- 156
- 00:13:42,542 --> 00:13:43,952
- Your niece.
- 157
- 00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:48,161
- There's your uncle Joseph.
- 158
- 00:13:49,417 --> 00:13:50,657
- You right?
- 159
- 00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:53,116
- Robert:
- What were t'fighting like, Joe?
- 160
- 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,831
- Was you at Waterloo?
- 161
- 00:14:01,917 --> 00:14:04,954
- - Ah...
- - Leave him, Robert.
- 162
- 00:14:05,042 --> 00:14:07,328
- Aye, he'll be reet.
- 163
- 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,581
- Did you see boney?
- 164
- 00:14:09,667 --> 00:14:12,204
- Oh, come on,
- up you get, you daft barmpot!
- 165
- 00:14:12,792 --> 00:14:14,828
- - Night, father.
- - Good night.
- 166
- 00:14:14,917 --> 00:14:17,579
- - Good night, George.
- - Good night, grandfather.
- 167
- 00:14:17,667 --> 00:14:18,873

- Any work?
- 234
- 00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:14,866
- I went t' t'other side of t'canal.

- 00:18:18,167 --> 00:18:20,783
- There's talk of them
- cutting wages again next month.
- 238
- 00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,458
- - Cutting them to what?
- Joshua: To the bone, mother.
- 239
- 00:18:24,542 --> 00:18:26,828
- Aye, and that bread tax
- is helping no one.
- 240
- 00:18:26,917 --> 00:18:28,327
- - It's helping someone.
- - Who?
- 241
- 00:18:28,417 --> 00:18:30,783
- - Them rich beggars.
- - Bastard farmers.
- 242
- 00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:32,490
- It's not just t'farmers' fault,
- Robert.
- 243
- 00:18:32,583 --> 00:18:34,790
- - How d'you mean?
- - It's t'government, Mary.
- 244
- 00:18:34,875 --> 00:18:36,240
- Nellie: Government?
- 245
- 00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:39,166
- Landowners have got
- t'government in their pockets.
- 246
- 00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:42,538
- Besides, most of t'government
- are landowners themselves!
- 247
- 00:18:42,625 --> 00:18:45,367
- Getting fat on land that they
- stole from us in t'first place.
- 248
- 00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:46,458
- Oh, aye.
- 249
- 00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:48,203
- What's that to do
- with t'price of bread?
- 250
- 00:18:48,292 --> 00:18:51,659
- They have a bad harvest,
- there's a shortage of corn.
- 251
- 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:53,240
- They won't let them import any
- 252
- 00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:55,415
- from France or America
- or anywhere,
- 253
- 00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:57,536
- so they force prices up
- and us poor souls
- 254
- 00:18:57,625 --> 00:19:00,367
- end up paying five times more
- for a loaf of bread.
- 255
- 00:19:00,458 --> 00:19:02,540
- - Is that t'corn laws?
- - Ltis.
- 256
- 00:19:02,625 --> 00:19:05,162
- They were meant to help us
- but it just made things worse.
- 257
- 00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:07,616
- Nellie: When has a government
- ever done anything to help us?
- 258
- 00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:09,323
- True.
- 259
- 00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:11,453
- Fat leeches, down London.
- 260
- 00:19:11,542 --> 00:19:13,658
- They'll starve us all to death.
- 261
- 00:19:18,417 --> 00:19:20,578
- Elevenpence ha'penny.
- 262
- 00:19:20,667 --> 00:19:22,373
- You take that, Esther.
- 263
- 00:19:23,792 --> 00:19:25,498
- We'll get by on t'rest.
- 264
- 00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:27,868
- No!
- 265
- 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,742
- Poor woman:
- J the house-rent and fire
- 266
- 00:19:34,833 --> 00:19:37,370
- j it does take half that we get
- 267
- 00:19:38,708 --> 00:19:40,949
- j and the others but a trifle
- 268
- 00:19:41,833 --> 00:19:44,040
- j to supply us with meat
- 269
- 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:48,116
- j betwixt hunger and cold
- 270
- 00:19:48,958 --> 00:19:52,121
- j our jaws they look so thin
- 271
- 00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:56,458
- j we shall be in rare condition
- 272
- 00:19:57,625 --> 00:19:59,741
- j for tobacco to grin
- 273
- 00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:04,324
- Margaret micklethwaite,
- 274
- 00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:06,499
- as for the misdemeanour
- of loose,
- 275
- 00:20:06,583 --> 00:20:08,323
- idle and disorderly conduct,
- 276
- 00:20:08,417 --> 00:20:10,453
- given the intoxicated
- and indecorous state
- 277
- 00:20:10,542 --> 00:20:12,908
- in which you were discovered
- in your mistress's cellar,
- 278
- 00:20:13,458 --> 00:20:16,040
- there can be little doubt
- that you were, and remain,
- 279
- 00:20:16,125 --> 00:20:19,162
- decidedly loose,
- unquestionably idle
- 280
- 00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:22,322
- and resolutely disorderly.
- 281
- 00:20:22,958 --> 00:20:25,449
- Now, as for the felony,
- 282
- 00:20:26,042 --> 00:20:29,534
- to whit, the theft of two
- bottles of excellent claret,
- 283
- 00:20:29,625 --> 00:20:31,365
- before I pass sentence,
- 284
- 00:20:31,458 --> 00:20:34,575
- indulge my curiosity,
- mrs micklethwaite,
- 285
- 00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:37,283
- and inform me,
- what erroneous pretext
- 286
- 00:20:37,375 --> 00:20:40,663
- compelled you to descend into
- the cellar in the first place.
- 287
- 00:20:41,667 --> 00:20:43,749
- I were up in th'attic
- 288
- 00:20:43,833 --> 00:20:47,576
- and I saw this ghost,
- looking at me.
- 289
- 00:20:48,375 --> 00:20:50,991
- And I 'ad to run
- down to t'cellar - honest!
- 290
- 00:20:52,917 --> 00:20:54,373
- Indeed!
- 291
- 00:20:55,750 --> 00:21:00,915
- So, afeared of the spirit
- in the attic,
- 292
- 00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:04,909
- you partook of the spirit
- in the cellar.
- 293
- 00:21:10,292 --> 00:21:11,702
- Oh...
- 294
- 00:21:11,792 --> 00:21:15,205
- Given the dual nature of your crime,
- 295
- 00:21:15,292 --> 00:21:17,499
- I am minded to pass this case upward
- 296
- 00:21:17,583 --> 00:21:18,914
- to the quarter sessions,
- 297
- 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,833
- with the recommendation that
- you spend the next seven years
- 298
- 00:21:21,917 --> 00:21:23,373
- contemplating your sins
- 299
- 00:21:23,458 --> 00:21:26,040
- overlooking the exotic vista
- of botany bay.
- 300
- 00:21:26,125 --> 00:21:28,912
- No, sir! No! I've got a lad
- at home what needs me!
- 301
- 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,080
- Silence!
- 302
- 00:21:31,875 --> 00:21:33,661
- I am reluctant
- to impose upon the crown
- 303
- 00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:36,241
- the cost of your transportation.
- 304
- 00:21:37,292 --> 00:21:38,828
- Therefore, you shall be whipped...
- 305
- 00:21:38,917 --> 00:21:39,781
- No, sir, no! Please, sir!
- 306
- 00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:42,366
- That it may shame you
- and deter others.
- 307
- 00:21:42,458 --> 00:21:45,416
- You may then spend
- the next 14 days in gaol,
- 308
- 00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:49,197
- in quiet contemplation
- of your crimes.
- 309
- 00:21:49,292 --> 00:21:50,498
- Take her down.
- 310
- 00:21:50,583 --> 00:21:52,289
- Edward wild.
- 311
- 00:21:52,375 --> 00:21:55,367
- For what purpose were you
- in the vicinity of tib street,
- 312
- 00:21:55,458 --> 00:21:58,746
- Manchester, on the third day
- of November last?
- 313
- 00:21:58,833 --> 00:22:00,448
- We was knocking down a wall.
- 314
- 00:22:00,542 --> 00:22:02,828
- - Why? What are you?
- - A labourer.
- 315
- 00:22:03,375 --> 00:22:05,286
- Oh. Were you in liquor?
- 316
- 00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:07,331
- No, sir.
- 317
- 00:22:07,417 --> 00:22:09,157
- Then perhaps you might
- explain to me
- 318
- 00:22:09,250 --> 00:22:12,447
- what occasioned you
- to enter a haberdasher's shop
- 319
- 00:22:12,542 --> 00:22:15,249
- - on the day in question.
- - It's my pocket watch, sir.
- 320
- 00:22:15,333 --> 00:22:17,665
- It is not your pocket watch.
- 321
- 00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:22,244
- It is a silver pocket watch,
- valued at five guineas.
- 322
- 00:22:22,333 --> 00:22:26,451
- It is the property of
- the haberdasher, mr Arnold.
- 323
- 00:22:26,542 --> 00:22:31,115
- Furthermore, his name
- is quite clearly inscribed
- 324
- 00:22:31,208 --> 00:22:34,450
- upon the reverse side
- of the case back.
- 325
- 00:22:34,542 --> 00:22:36,157
- I won it on a game of dice.
- 326
- 00:22:36,250 --> 00:22:38,241
- - Where?
- - The old boar's head.
- 327
- 00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:39,333
- When?
- 328
- 00:22:41,083 --> 00:22:43,165
- I can't remember, s-sir.
- 329
- 00:22:43,792 --> 00:22:46,374
- You are wasting
- the time of this court.
- 330
- 00:22:47,458 --> 00:22:50,416
- I am to recommend
- that you be transported
- 331
- 00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:54,243
- to the territory of Australia
- for a period of 14 years.
- 332
- 00:22:55,875 --> 00:23:00,039
- Our lord god owns
- everything upon this earth,
- 333
- 00:23:00,125 --> 00:23:04,448
- and when you steal,
- you Rob from him.
- 334
- 00:23:04,542 --> 00:23:07,124
- - You are James mahon?
- - Yes.
- 335
- 00:23:07,208 --> 00:23:08,914
- Remove your hat.
- 336
- 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,833
- - Wha'?
- - You are in a court of law.
- 337
- 00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:17,241
- You are charged with stealing
- a coat from your master.
- 338
- 00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:19,870
- No. No, I didn't steal it.
- I took it.
- 339
- 00:23:21,083 --> 00:23:22,744
- Explain to me the difference.
- 340
- 00:23:22,833 --> 00:23:24,619
- He had two, I needed one.
- 341
- 00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:26,448
- He's got one. I've got one.
- I was cold.
- 342
- 00:23:27,083 --> 00:23:29,199
- - Are you an englishman?
- - Yes, sir.
- 343
- 00:23:29,292 --> 00:23:31,328
- Do you know your Bible?
- 344
- 00:23:32,417 --> 00:23:34,203
- Can you read?
- 345
- 00:23:36,083 --> 00:23:38,244
- "Thou shalt not steal."
- 346
- 00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:40,748
- God's commandment, number eight.
- 347
- 00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:44,914
- I'm a reformer.
- 348
- 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,865
- - A reformer?
- - Yes.
- 349
- 00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:48,539
- That gives you
- the right to steal?
- 350
- 00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:50,365
- No, it's not stealing.
- It's sharing.
- 351
- 00:23:50,458 --> 00:23:52,574
- What's mine is yours
- and what's yours is mine.
- 352
- 00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:56,665
- - Is that the coat?
- - Yes.
- 353
- 00:23:57,292 --> 00:23:59,078
- Take it off.
- 354
- 00:24:01,625 --> 00:24:03,536
- Remove that coat.
- 355
- 00:24:07,958 --> 00:24:09,949
- Have it.
- 356
- 00:24:11,458 --> 00:24:13,540
- I shall commit you
- to the quarter sessions.
- 357
- 00:24:13,625 --> 00:24:16,037
- I shall recommend that you
- be hanged. Take him down.
- 358
- 00:24:17,083 --> 00:24:18,539
- Hanged?
- 359
- 00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:21,533
- Over a coat?
- 360
- 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,991
- Find out where he lives.
- 361
- 00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,744
- Man: It is our profound belief
- 362
- 00:24:55,833 --> 00:24:59,496
- that we are on the brink
- of the dawn of Liberty.
- 363
- 00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,999
- We are on the verge of achieving
- 364
- 00:25:03,083 --> 00:25:05,665
- elevation from the cesspits and swamps
- 365
- 00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:07,661
- in which our government
- would have us dwell.
- 366
- 00:25:08,958 --> 00:25:11,165
- We shan't be denied any longer.
- 367
- 00:25:11,875 --> 00:25:14,947
- The government's defences
- are creaking.
- 368
- 00:25:15,042 --> 00:25:16,498
- The water is rising.
- 369
- 00:25:16,583 --> 00:25:17,993
- The dam is breaking.
- 370
- 00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:22,452
- The foam it swells,
- it swells all around them.
- 371
- 00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:25,616
- The gilded reptiles
- are unable to overawe
- 372
- 00:25:25,708 --> 00:25:29,451
- this expression of public opinion.
- 373
- 00:25:29,542 --> 00:25:33,615
- These apish jupiters...
- 374
- 00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:34,743
- Crowd: Hear, hear!
- 375
- 00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:39,623
- The phantasmagoria
- of prophets who sit fat and idle
- 376
- 00:25:39,708 --> 00:25:42,996
- in that infernal monster pit
- they call parliament,
- 377
- 00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:44,823
- are quaking in their boots.
- 378
- 00:25:44,917 --> 00:25:46,077
- Man: Aye!
- 379
- 00:25:46,167 --> 00:25:49,705
- Let the friends of
- radical reform but persevere.
- 380
- 00:25:49,792 --> 00:25:53,831
- Let us be firm and fear not
- that victory will be ours.
- 381
- 00:25:53,917 --> 00:25:56,158
- Our enemies will shrink
- 382
- 00:25:56,250 --> 00:25:58,957
- before the voice of all powerful truth.
- 383
- 00:25:59,042 --> 00:26:02,990
- When the pimps of authority
- deny a man suffrage,
- 384
- 00:26:03,083 --> 00:26:06,371
- they Rob him
- of all security for his life,
- 385
- 00:26:06,458 --> 00:26:09,074
- Liberty and property.
- 386
- 00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:12,864
- What kind of people are they
- to commit such atrocities?
- 387
- 00:26:12,958 --> 00:26:17,702
- Friends, I urge you one and all
- to go home to your families
- 388
- 00:26:17,792 --> 00:26:21,614
- and tell them to join us,
- hand and heart.
- 389
- 00:26:21,708 --> 00:26:25,621
- Tell them: Courage is
- a kind of salvation.
- 390
- 00:26:25,708 --> 00:26:28,700
- Tell them:
- We have it in our power
- 391
- 00:26:28,792 --> 00:26:31,454
- to begin the world over again.
- 392
- 00:26:31,542 --> 00:26:33,453
- Crowd: Aye!
- 393
- 00:26:33,542 --> 00:26:36,454
- Every citizen
- must answer the call.
- 394
- 00:26:37,542 --> 00:26:39,828
- For we can easily forgive a child
- 395
- 00:26:39,917 --> 00:26:41,908
- who is afraid of the dark.
- 396
- 00:26:42,833 --> 00:26:44,448
- The real tragedy of life
- 397
- 00:26:44,542 --> 00:26:47,454
- is when men are
- afraid of the light.
- 398
- 00:26:47,542 --> 00:26:49,703
- Aye, well said, John.
- 399
- 00:26:50,458 --> 00:26:52,449
- Well said, John saxton!
- Hear, hear.
- 400
- 00:26:52,542 --> 00:26:54,498
- - Into the light!
- - Yes.
- 401
- 00:27:01,875 --> 00:27:05,697
- Gentlemen... l have
- long and deeply...
- 402
- 00:27:05,792 --> 00:27:08,033
- Felt for the labouring class.
- 403
- 00:27:08,792 --> 00:27:10,407
- And it is this feeling alone
- 404
- 00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:14,664
- which induces me to promote
- constitutional reformation
- 405
- 00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:17,162
- of the representation
- of the people
- 406
- 00:27:17,250 --> 00:27:18,706
- in the house of commons.
- 407
- 00:27:18,792 --> 00:27:19,907
- - Aye.
- - Hear, hear.
- 408
- 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,494
- For believe me when I say
- that the distress of the people
- 409
- 00:27:24,583 --> 00:27:28,075
- is too great to be removed
- by any power
- 410
- 00:27:28,167 --> 00:27:30,203
- other than that of parliament.
- 411
- 00:27:30,292 --> 00:27:32,328
- - Aye!
- - True!
- 412
- 00:27:33,542 --> 00:27:37,956
- The object of parliament
- ought to be the general good,
- 413
- 00:27:38,042 --> 00:27:39,748
- the equal protection,
- 414
- 00:27:39,833 --> 00:27:43,371
- the security of the person and
- property of each individual.
- 415
- 00:27:43,458 --> 00:27:44,458
- - Yes.
- - That is right.
- 416
- 00:27:44,542 --> 00:27:49,206
- Therefore labour,
- the poor man's only property,
- 417
- 00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:51,954
- ought to be as sacred
- as any other property.
- 418
- 00:27:52,042 --> 00:27:53,828
- Men: Aye!
- 419
- 00:27:54,542 --> 00:27:57,534
- I deem it proper to inform you,
- that a few weeks ago,
- 420
- 00:27:57,625 --> 00:28:00,412
- the few gentlemen
- from Manchester,
- 421
- 00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:03,663
- who have, luckily for us,
- better understandings
- 422
- 00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:06,332
- and a superior degree
- of human feeling,
- 423
- 00:28:06,417 --> 00:28:10,160
- presented a requisition to the
- borough reeve and constables,
- 424
- 00:28:10,250 --> 00:28:12,616
- requesting them
- to call an open meeting
- 425
- 00:28:12,708 --> 00:28:15,745
- to consider petitioning
- the house of commons
- 426
- 00:28:15,833 --> 00:28:17,619
- to repeal all the laws
- 427
- 00:28:17,708 --> 00:28:21,371
- which restrain the importation
- of corn or grain.
- 428
- 00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:23,949
- - Aye! Hear, hear.
- - With this requisition,
- 429
- 00:28:24,042 --> 00:28:25,623
- the borough reeve and constables
- 430
- 00:28:25,708 --> 00:28:27,198
- refused to comply...
- 431
- 00:28:27,292 --> 00:28:30,364
- - Shame!
- - Bastards!
- 432
- 00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:31,618
- - Shameful.
- - Bastards!
- 433
- 00:28:31,708 --> 00:28:33,448
- Nor is this all, gentlemen.
- 434
- 00:28:33,542 --> 00:28:36,033
- If any individual
- has at any time
- 435
- 00:28:36,125 --> 00:28:37,581
- attempted to represent
- 436
- 00:28:37,667 --> 00:28:39,953
- to the inhabitants of
- our town and neighbourhood,
- 437
- 00:28:40,042 --> 00:28:43,864
- the enormous burthens imposed
- upon them by the government,
- 438
- 00:28:43,958 --> 00:28:47,325
- or taken any steps to
- prevent the imposition of new,
- 439
- 00:28:47,417 --> 00:28:49,783
- or to remove any old burthens,
- 440
- 00:28:50,542 --> 00:28:54,455
- they have uniformly vilified
- and calumniated them
- 441
- 00:28:54,542 --> 00:28:56,533
- in the most scandalous
- and shameful degree.
- 442
- 00:28:56,625 --> 00:28:57,660
- Crowd: Aye.
- 443
- 00:28:57,750 --> 00:29:00,867
- And, not content with this,
- they have, as is well known,
- 444
- 00:29:00,958 --> 00:29:03,324
- caused great numbers
- to be thrown into prison...
- 445
- 00:29:03,417 --> 00:29:05,578
- - That is right.
- - And there endure
- 446
- 00:29:05,667 --> 00:29:07,623
- every species of suffering
- 447
- 00:29:07,708 --> 00:29:10,495
- their malignity
- could procure them.
- 448
- 00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:13,905
- L, myself, gentlemen, have had
- the distinguished honour
- 449
- 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,164
- of being twice the object
- of their malignant vengeance,
- 450
- 00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:21,663
- and enjoyed the indignity
- of a dungeon cell.
- 451
- 00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:22,990
- "Tis true!
- 452
- 00:29:23,083 --> 00:29:25,825
- When the recent war was over,
- 453
- 00:29:25,917 --> 00:29:30,866
- and the people expected plenty
- to have returned with peace,
- 454
- 00:29:30,958 --> 00:29:33,870
- their distress
- became worse than ever,
- 455
- 00:29:33,958 --> 00:29:37,280
- and it is the opinion
- of most thinking men that,
- 456
- 00:29:37,375 --> 00:29:39,161
- at that juncture, the populace
- 457
- 00:29:39,250 --> 00:29:40,831
- would then
- have fallen in violence
- 458
- 00:29:40,917 --> 00:29:46,958
- upon their employers or their
- dealers in goods, or both,
- 459
- 00:29:47,042 --> 00:29:48,828
- but for the views exhibited
- 460
- 00:29:48,917 --> 00:29:50,999
- by the advocates
- of parliamentary reform.
- 461
- 00:29:51,083 --> 00:29:52,664
- - "Tis true.
- - Aye.
- 462
- 00:29:54,583 --> 00:29:57,541
- The constitution of our country
- 463
- 00:29:57,625 --> 00:30:02,449
- vests the right of electing
- members of the house of commons
- 464
- 00:30:02,542 --> 00:30:04,373
- in the people.
- 465
- 00:30:04,458 --> 00:30:08,701
- Therefore, we must, openly,
- and in a manner
- 466
- 00:30:08,792 --> 00:30:12,159
- and with language that is
- mild and constitutional,
- 467
- 00:30:12,250 --> 00:30:16,789
- yet firm and clear...
- Call for these reforms.
- 468
- 00:30:17,792 --> 00:30:20,408
- The division of the population
- of the United Kingdom
- 469
- 00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:22,741
- into equal parts. All: Aye!
- 470
- 00:30:22,833 --> 00:30:25,415
- Those parts to equal
- the number of representatives.
- 471
- 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:26,706
- Aye!
- 472
- 00:30:26,792 --> 00:30:28,748
- Each representative
- to be an inhabitant
- 473
- 00:30:28,833 --> 00:30:30,369
- of the district he represents.
- 474
- 00:30:30,458 --> 00:30:31,789
- Aye!
- 475
- 00:30:31,875 --> 00:30:35,697
- Each man to be entitled
- to vote for his representative.
- 476
- 00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:37,282
- - Aye.
- - Hear, hear.
- 477
- 00:30:37,375 --> 00:30:40,287
- And parliament
- to be elected annually.
- 478
- 00:30:40,375 --> 00:30:42,081
- - Aye!
- - Hear, hear!
- 479
- 00:30:44,667 --> 00:30:46,407
- Dr Joseph healey,
- 480
- 00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,866
- representing oldham, lancashire,
- 481
- 00:30:48,958 --> 00:30:51,040
- heartily concurs!
- 482
- 00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:53,161
- I thank you, mr healey.
- 483
- 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,537
- Samuel bamford,
- township of middleton.
- 484
- 00:30:57,167 --> 00:30:59,658
- I would like to speak
- in support of my friend,
- 485
- 00:30:59,750 --> 00:31:02,036
- - mr knight.
- - Thank you, mr bamford.
- 486
- 00:31:02,125 --> 00:31:04,161
- We have seen with our own eyes
- 487
- 00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:07,322
- the likes of these
- borough Reeves and constables,
- 488
- 00:31:07,417 --> 00:31:11,330
- who supposedly are there
- to protect our interests
- 489
- 00:31:11,417 --> 00:31:12,827
- and to keep t'peace
- 490
- 00:31:12,917 --> 00:31:17,206
- but in truth they turn a blind
- eye to t'transgressions
- 491
- 00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:19,328
- and iniquities that blight
- all our lives.
- 492
- 00:31:19,417 --> 00:31:20,497
- Woman: True, Sam. True.
- 493
- 00:31:20,583 --> 00:31:23,620
- All the while
- feathering their own nests
- 494
- 00:31:23,708 --> 00:31:25,664
- and hindering the common man.
- 495
- 00:31:26,625 --> 00:31:29,241
- And what is
- our national parliament
- 496
- 00:31:29,333 --> 00:31:32,245
- but t'same affliction
- on a grander scale?
- 497
- 00:31:32,333 --> 00:31:34,164
- Crowd: Aye.
- 498
- 00:31:34,250 --> 00:31:37,697
- The sooner
- we can represent ourselves
- 499
- 00:31:37,792 --> 00:31:42,161
- in all matters of local
- and national interest,
- 500
- 00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:46,368
- the sooner we can return
- to our work with dignity!
- 501
- 00:31:46,458 --> 00:31:48,790
- Crowd: Aye!
- 502
- 00:31:48,875 --> 00:31:51,366
- Saxton:
- We must expose the corrupters,
- 503
- 00:31:51,458 --> 00:31:54,825
- shine a light on their
- treachery once and for all.
- 504
- 00:31:54,917 --> 00:31:57,579
- - Aye!
- - Aye, John, aye. Hear, hear!
- 505
- 00:31:57,667 --> 00:31:59,783
- Hear, hear, John!
- 506
- 00:31:59,875 --> 00:32:02,036
- Hear, hear!
- 507
- 00:32:10,458 --> 00:32:13,165
- Nellie: You all right, love?
- Joseph: Oh, aye.
- 508
- 00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:14,990
- So...
- 509
- 00:32:15,083 --> 00:32:18,450
- What's to be done
- to save the world, eh?
- 510
- 00:32:18,542 --> 00:32:20,123
- They said we have to be ready.
- 511
- 00:32:20,208 --> 00:32:22,039
- Mary: What for?
- - For things to change.
- 512
- 00:32:22,125 --> 00:32:23,205
- How d'you mean?
- 513
- 00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:24,907
- That's what they said,
- didn't they?
- 514
- 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,491
- Aye, father. They said
- we have to spread the word.
- 515
- 00:32:27,583 --> 00:32:29,323
- Esther:
- But what did they talk about?
- 516
- 00:32:29,417 --> 00:32:32,864
- About having a voice.
- Er... representation.
- 517
- 00:32:32,958 --> 00:32:34,664
- Hmm. Talk, talk, talk.
- 518
- 00:32:34,750 --> 00:32:37,287
- - No, no, he means the vote.
- - We know he means the vote
- 519
- 00:32:37,375 --> 00:32:39,240
- but what's to be done
- to get the vote?
- 520
- 00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:41,198
- What's to be done
- is what they was doing...
- 521
- 00:32:41,292 --> 00:32:42,407
- Shh...
- 522
- 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:43,910
- What they was doing tonight.
- 523
- 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,447
- People meeting, talking,
- being strong together.
- 524
- 00:32:47,542 --> 00:32:50,124
- All right, keep your hair on.
- I were just saying.
- 525
- 00:32:50,208 --> 00:32:51,869
- Less talk, more action.
- 526
- 00:32:51,958 --> 00:32:54,620
- Come on, George.
- Come on, wake up.
- 527
- 00:32:54,708 --> 00:32:57,825
- Any road,
- they'll never give us t'vote.
- 528
- 00:32:57,917 --> 00:33:00,203
- They'll give us nowt by
- that way of thinking, Nellie.
- 529
- 00:33:00,292 --> 00:33:02,783
- These folk think
- we stand a chance, mam.
- 530
- 00:33:02,875 --> 00:33:05,161
- - And who are these folk?
- - From all over.
- 531
- 00:33:06,375 --> 00:33:08,457
- - Working men?
- - Oh, aye.
- 532
- 00:33:08,542 --> 00:33:10,749
- - I'll go and see how she is.
- - Come on, lad.
- 533
- 00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:14,831
- Good night, George.
- 534
- 00:33:18,917 --> 00:33:21,158
- - See thee tomorrow.
- - Good night, love.
- 535
- 00:33:45,292 --> 00:33:49,331
- The men, women and children
- who keep
- 536
- 00:33:49,417 --> 00:33:53,706
- the relentless grinding
- of the wheels of industry
- 537
- 00:33:53,792 --> 00:33:54,998
- turning and spinning,
- 538
- 00:33:55,083 --> 00:33:57,574
- whilst working every hour
- that is asked of them
- 539
- 00:33:57,667 --> 00:33:59,373
- are being left destitute.
- 540
- 00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:05,333
- With barely the energy
- to stand on two feet.
- 541
- 00:34:05,417 --> 00:34:07,578
- Aye.
- 542
- 00:34:07,667 --> 00:34:09,328
- The annals of history,
- 543
- 00:34:10,125 --> 00:34:13,447
- they show us what a despot
- was king James il.
- 544
- 00:34:13,542 --> 00:34:15,248
- Audience: Aye.
- 545
- 00:34:15,333 --> 00:34:18,655
- Yet our forefathers were able
- to affirm their liberties
- 546
- 00:34:18,750 --> 00:34:21,116
- without the loss
- of a single life.
- 547
- 00:34:28,125 --> 00:34:30,241
- Now, why was this?
- 548
- 00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:33,700
- This was because the people
- were unanimous
- 549
- 00:34:33,792 --> 00:34:36,499
- and determined
- to put down tyrannism.
- 550
- 00:34:36,583 --> 00:34:38,289
- - Aye!
- - Hear, hear!
- 551
- 00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:40,240
- Man: Hear, hear!
- 552
- 00:34:40,958 --> 00:34:44,871
- They secured
- the bill of rights of 1689.
- 553
- 00:34:48,375 --> 00:34:52,288
- That bill of rights ensured
- parliament remains sovereign.
- 554
- 00:34:53,167 --> 00:34:54,953
- But what good is a parliament
- 555
- 00:34:55,042 --> 00:34:57,203
- if it does not represent
- its people?
- 556
- 00:34:57,292 --> 00:34:59,248
- Hear, hear!
- 557
- 00:35:01,917 --> 00:35:05,956
- What right does a king have
- to a payout from the government
- 558
- 00:35:06,042 --> 00:35:07,748
- of £2 million per annum?
- 559
- 00:35:07,833 --> 00:35:09,198
- No right!
- 560
- 00:35:09,292 --> 00:35:12,659
- A king who has lost his senses,
- if he ever had any.
- 561
- 00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:16,072
- And what right does our good,
- gracious, illustrious -
- 562
- 00:35:16,167 --> 00:35:17,782
- or should I say, big fat -
- 563
- 00:35:17,875 --> 00:35:20,082
- prince have
- with one-and-a-half million?
- 564
- 00:35:20,167 --> 00:35:21,532
- He has no right!
- 565
- 00:35:21,625 --> 00:35:23,661
- What right do these men have
- with this money,
- 566
- 00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:26,412
- when those they have robbed
- are starving for want?
- 567
- 00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:28,365
- They have no right.
- No right at all!
- 568
- 00:35:28,458 --> 00:35:30,198
- No, sir.
- They do not have that right.
- 569
- 00:35:30,292 --> 00:35:31,407
- No!
- 570
- 00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:32,910
- - But we have a right.
- - Aye!
- 571
- 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,163
- We have a right
- to present a petition
- 572
- 00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:38,912
- to this big, fat prince.
- 573
- 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,331
- And that we propose to do.
- 574
- 00:35:40,417 --> 00:35:42,578
- Hear, hear.
- 575
- 00:35:42,667 --> 00:35:45,625
- This petition
- will demand at last
- 576
- 00:35:45,708 --> 00:35:48,450
- a fair, proper
- and full representation
- 577
- 00:35:48,542 --> 00:35:50,533
- - for all englishmen.
- - Aye.
- 578
- 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,074
- If... if, after forty days
- and forty nights
- 579
- 00:35:58,167 --> 00:36:02,206
- there is no response
- from our... beloved prince...
- 580
- 00:36:03,375 --> 00:36:06,162
- We shall take said petition
- to the king.
- 581
- 00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:09,413
- And... if he ignores us,
- 582
- 00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:11,741
- we have the right,
- as englishmen,
- 583
- 00:36:11,833 --> 00:36:13,949
- to imprison him
- and all his family.
- 584
- 00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:22,123
- All we demand
- is that our voices are heard...
- 585
- 00:36:23,208 --> 00:36:25,620
- And that our sufferings cease.
- 586
- 00:36:25,708 --> 00:36:28,950
- We are on the verge
- of a devastating cataclysm!
- 587
- 00:36:29,042 --> 00:36:32,614
- The time has come to alleviate
- the sufferings of the people.
- 588
- 00:36:32,708 --> 00:36:34,699
- I call forth a deluge
- 589
- 00:36:34,792 --> 00:36:37,750
- to cleanse this land
- of its festering corruption.
- 590
- 00:36:37,833 --> 00:36:40,575
- Almighty father,
- permit us to be the Noahs,
- 591
- 00:36:40,667 --> 00:36:44,615
- the deucalions and the pyrrhas
- as we start this world anew.
- 592
- 00:36:44,708 --> 00:36:46,039
- Mr knight!
- 593
- 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,163
- Friends, I should like
- to invite mr John knight
- 594
- 00:36:58,250 --> 00:36:59,330
- to now speak.
- 595
- 00:37:00,417 --> 00:37:02,373
- Mr knight.
- 596
- 00:37:05,208 --> 00:37:07,995
- Gentlemen, I should like to
- thank mr bagguley,
- 597
- 00:37:08,083 --> 00:37:10,495
- mr drummond and mr johnston
- 598
- 00:37:10,583 --> 00:37:12,744
- for their impassioned rhetoric.
- 599
- 00:37:16,042 --> 00:37:20,411
- Although I cannot
- concur with the notion
- 600
- 00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:22,582
- that the imprisonment of the king
- 601
- 00:37:22,667 --> 00:37:24,623
- would advance the cause.
- 602
- 00:37:42,458 --> 00:37:45,780
- Nevertheless, I congratulate them
- 603
- 00:37:45,875 --> 00:37:49,788
- on their considerable fervour
- and their zeal.
- 604
- 00:37:59,625 --> 00:38:01,581
- I thank you, gentlemen.
- 605
- 00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:03,328
- Thank you, mr knight.
- 606
- 00:38:03,417 --> 00:38:05,157
- Thank you, mr knight.
- 607
- 00:38:23,667 --> 00:38:26,158
- - They're going to London.
- - What, bagguley and that?
- 608
- 00:38:26,250 --> 00:38:28,115
- They're going to see the prince.
- 609
- 00:38:28,208 --> 00:38:29,118
- - What?
- - They're not!
- 610
- 00:38:29,208 --> 00:38:31,824
- - They are, mam.
- - The prince regent, it is.
- 611
- 00:38:31,917 --> 00:38:33,453
- Oh, aye.
- 612
- 00:38:33,542 --> 00:38:36,534
- They're taking him this er...
- What is it, father?
- 613
- 00:38:36,625 --> 00:38:38,331
- - Petition.
- - Aye, a petition.
- 614
- 00:38:38,417 --> 00:38:40,999
- - What will it say, father?
- Joshua: It's a list of demands.
- 615
- 00:38:41,083 --> 00:38:42,573
- - Oh, aye.
- - Our rights.
- 616
- 00:38:42,667 --> 00:38:44,623
- Hallelujah!
- 617
- 00:38:44,708 --> 00:38:47,370
- Prince... thingummy
- isn't going to give ha'porth
- 618
- 00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:50,040
- for a scrap of paper that's
- come all t'way from lancashire.
- 619
- 00:38:50,125 --> 00:38:51,865
- If he don't,
- they'll take it to the king.
- 620
- 00:38:51,958 --> 00:38:54,995
- And then what?
- He's as mad as a march hare!
- 621
- 00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:56,809
- They said if he won't do owt,
- they'll lock him up.
- 622
- 00:38:56,833 --> 00:38:59,905
- - What, the king?
- - Aye, the king and his family.
- 623
- 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,207
- Who's going to lock up
- the king? Them three lads?
- 624
- 00:39:02,292 --> 00:39:03,657
- No, the people will.
- 625
- 00:39:04,292 --> 00:39:06,408
- And how's the people
- going to do that?
- 626
- 00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:08,491
- That's just plain daft.
- 627
- 00:39:08,583 --> 00:39:10,198
- At least they're
- doing something.
- 628
- 00:39:10,292 --> 00:39:12,749
- They're not doing owt.
- It's just more talk.
- 629
- 00:39:12,833 --> 00:39:14,789
- I'll tell you what they're
- not doing, Nellie,
- 630
- 00:39:14,875 --> 00:39:18,117
- they're not sitting
- on their backsides, waiting.
- 631
- 00:39:18,208 --> 00:39:19,994
- I know, I know.
- 632
- 00:39:20,083 --> 00:39:21,789
- I don't blame you
- for losing hope, mam.
- 633
- 00:39:21,875 --> 00:39:23,911
- I haven't lost hope, son.
- 634
- 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,117
- I'll never lose hope.
- Times is too hard to lose hope.
- 635
- 00:39:27,208 --> 00:39:28,539
- Hope's all we've got.
- 636
- 00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:31,532
- But you've got to start small.
- 637
- 00:39:32,417 --> 00:39:35,375
- As they say,
- from little acorns...
- 638
- 00:39:35,458 --> 00:39:37,574
- Mighty oak trees grow.
- 639
- 00:39:57,542 --> 00:39:59,123
- They must be removed forthwith.
- 640
- 00:39:59,208 --> 00:40:01,199
- - I concur.
- - Hear, hear.
- 641
- 00:40:01,292 --> 00:40:02,873
- They're polluting our streets.
- 642
- 00:40:02,958 --> 00:40:06,450
- Indeed. We must pluck
- the braying bellwethers
- 643
- 00:40:06,542 --> 00:40:09,284
- from their schismatic pulpits,
- 644
- 00:40:09,375 --> 00:40:13,072
- but we cannot incarcerate
- their entire godless flock.
- 645
- 00:40:13,917 --> 00:40:15,953
- Three thousand fools
- 646
- 00:40:16,042 --> 00:40:18,704
- stuffed into the new Bailey
- like anchovies in a pot?
- 647
- 00:40:18,792 --> 00:40:23,081
- No, gentlemen. The rabble
- must be awed into submission.
- 648
- 00:40:23,167 --> 00:40:25,249
- A mere show of military might
- 649
- 00:40:25,333 --> 00:40:27,915
- would soon see them
- gambolling like little lambs
- 650
- 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,240
- back to their looms.
- 651
- 00:40:29,333 --> 00:40:31,369
- They are ignorant souls.
- 652
- 00:40:31,458 --> 00:40:33,073
- They know not what they want.
- 653
- 00:40:33,167 --> 00:40:35,203
- - They are children.
- - Innocent babes.
- 654
- 00:40:35,292 --> 00:40:37,078
- Babes, perhaps. Innocent? Never.
- 655
- 00:40:37,167 --> 00:40:39,123
- The rod is all they understand.
- 656
- 00:40:39,208 --> 00:40:42,905
- "My son, fear thou
- the lord and the king,
- 657
- 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,457
- and meddle not with them
- that are given to change."
- 658
- 00:40:45,542 --> 00:40:48,284
- Gentlemen, might I urge
- a little forbearance?
- 659
- 00:40:51,042 --> 00:40:54,284
- The labouring classes
- are ruled by their stomachs.
- 660
- 00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:58,040
- Were we to
- prevail upon the mill owners
- 661
- 00:40:58,125 --> 00:41:01,162
- to furnish them with an
- additional shilling per week...
- 662
- 00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:02,740
- Their hunger would be alleviated
- 663
- 00:41:02,833 --> 00:41:05,449
- and this agitation would cease.
- 664
- 00:41:05,542 --> 00:41:08,204
- A shilling this week,
- two shillings next week,
- 665
- 00:41:08,292 --> 00:41:10,123
- a Guinea for Christmas.
- 666
- 00:41:10,208 --> 00:41:12,199
- This concerns not money.
- 667
- 00:41:12,292 --> 00:41:16,114
- This concerns not
- an extension of the franchise.
- 668
- 00:41:16,208 --> 00:41:19,450
- This concerns
- neither Liberty nor freedom.
- 669
- 00:41:20,167 --> 00:41:24,911
- The remedy, gentlemen,
- is the iron hand of the law.
- 670
- 00:41:26,083 --> 00:41:28,119
- So we're all agreed. Grand!
- 671
- 00:41:28,208 --> 00:41:32,872
- Gentlemen, is this not...
- A passing season...
- 672
- 00:41:33,542 --> 00:41:37,114
- Of hot-headed intemperance,
- which will run its course?
- 673
- 00:41:37,208 --> 00:41:39,620
- No. It is not.
- 674
- 00:41:41,083 --> 00:41:43,369
- Will you not join us at table,
- nadin?
- 675
- 00:41:43,458 --> 00:41:46,040
- These are dangerous men.
- 676
- 00:41:46,125 --> 00:41:47,125
- They're a threat.
- 677
- 00:41:47,208 --> 00:41:50,120
- We need some pretext
- to arrest them.
- 678
- 00:41:50,208 --> 00:41:53,166
- Indeed.
- But the question is this:
- 679
- 00:41:53,250 --> 00:41:57,198
- Do we have evidence that
- they are inciting these people
- 680
- 00:41:57,292 --> 00:41:59,123
- to armed insurrection?
- 681
- 00:41:59,208 --> 00:42:01,415
- Well, we do not know
- that they are armed.
- 682
- 00:42:02,542 --> 00:42:04,498
- Are they armed, colonel?
- 683
- 00:42:04,583 --> 00:42:06,323
- Chippendale?
- 684
- 00:42:06,417 --> 00:42:09,830
- Gentlemen, I have witnessed
- no evidence of arms.
- 685
- 00:42:09,917 --> 00:42:13,409
- You have witnessed no evidence
- of arms, chippendale.
- 686
- 00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:17,746
- But that does not mean
- that they do not bear arms.
- 687
- 00:42:22,167 --> 00:42:24,624
- - In my opinion...
- - Your opinion?
- 688
- 00:42:25,208 --> 00:42:27,540
- Your opinion is not important.
- 689
- 00:42:28,625 --> 00:42:30,616
- You're an informant.
- 690
- 00:42:30,708 --> 00:42:34,030
- Inform... or sit down.
- 691
- 00:42:34,125 --> 00:42:38,869
- I might remind you,
- deputy chief constable nadin,
- 692
- 00:42:38,958 --> 00:42:41,825
- that this man is in my employ.
- 693
- 00:42:43,458 --> 00:42:45,870
- Colonel Fletcher, sir.
- 694
- 00:42:45,958 --> 00:42:48,199
- Gentlemen,
- 695
- 00:42:48,292 --> 00:42:51,034
- we cannot act without evidence.
- 696
- 00:42:51,125 --> 00:42:53,241
- There's always evidence.
- 697
- 00:42:54,625 --> 00:42:57,867
- You've just got to know
- where to look for it.
- 698
- 00:42:57,958 --> 00:43:00,916
- And if you don't find it,
- you crack a few heads.
- 699
- 00:43:17,250 --> 00:43:20,788
- When might you next
- visit Manchester, William?
- 700
- 00:43:20,875 --> 00:43:23,241
- Wednesday. Early.
- 701
- 00:43:23,333 --> 00:43:25,415
- I've to be in court.
- 702
- 00:43:26,250 --> 00:43:28,582
- I thought
- I might travel with you.
- 703
- 00:43:28,667 --> 00:43:30,783
- If you must.
- 704
- 00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:33,412
- I should like to visit Arabella.
- 705
- 00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:35,616
- She has the palsy.
- 706
- 00:43:35,708 --> 00:43:37,573
- Has she, now?
- 707
- 00:43:37,667 --> 00:43:39,123
- Listen to this.
- 708
- 00:43:40,750 --> 00:43:42,615
- "In all my twenty years
- as a magistrate
- 709
- 00:43:42,708 --> 00:43:45,324
- charged with the keeping
- of the peace,
- 710
- 00:43:45,417 --> 00:43:48,124
- never have I been witness
- to the scale and size
- 711
- 00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:50,290
- of these people's ambition.
- 712
- 00:43:50,375 --> 00:43:53,663
- The trouble brewing here has
- a much more frightening purpose
- 713
- 00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:56,913
- than that of winning the vote
- for the working man.
- 714
- 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,116
- What we are witnessing
- on the ground
- 715
- 00:43:59,208 --> 00:44:02,780
- is a vast number of people
- ripe for insurrection.
- 716
- 00:44:02,875 --> 00:44:04,911
- They will never
- give up their course
- 717
- 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,037
- until they have established
- a republican court."
- 718
- 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,365
- Oh, dear!
- 719
- 00:44:12,375 --> 00:44:17,199
- “Il am sorry...
- To have to... inform you..."
- 720
- 00:44:19,042 --> 00:44:22,284
- "These are
- the most violent preachings
- 721
- 00:44:22,375 --> 00:44:24,286
- of disaffected demagogues,
- 722
- 00:44:24,375 --> 00:44:26,457
- who seek to strike
- the flint of reform
- 723
- 00:44:26,542 --> 00:44:28,908
- against the steel of greed -
- 724
- 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,116
- the greed of a labouring class
- 725
- 00:44:31,208 --> 00:44:35,030
- ever seeking a shilling's more
- wage for an hour's less toil.
- 726
- 00:44:35,667 --> 00:44:38,124
- The resulting spark
- must soon take hold,
- 727
- 00:44:38,208 --> 00:44:41,405
- threatening the very safety
- of our neighbourhoods.
- 728
- 00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:42,580
- Such gatherings,
- 729
- 00:44:42,667 --> 00:44:46,034
- and many more hewn from
- the same seditious block,
- 730
- 00:44:46,125 --> 00:44:48,912
- no longer bring together
- a3 few dozen malcontents
- 731
- 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,410
- and ne'er-do-Wells
- 732
- 00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:53,207
- to pass secret codes
- and hidden messages
- 733
- 00:44:53,292 --> 00:44:55,908
- at the back of methodist
- Sunday school rooms,
- 734
- 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,912
- or above squalid low taverns.
- 735
- 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,198
- These meetings, now held
- brazenly and in plain sight,
- 736
- 00:45:03,292 --> 00:45:05,829
- are attended in numbers
- in many instances
- 737
- 00:45:05,917 --> 00:45:09,159
- exceeding three,
- four, five thousand.
- 738
- 00:45:09,250 --> 00:45:12,083
- And there the rallying cry
- of bagguley
- 739
- 00:45:12,167 --> 00:45:14,749
- and his scurrilous brethren
- 740
- 00:45:14,833 --> 00:45:19,156
- are hallooed by
- the ill-educated, ungodly mob
- 741
- 00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:23,698
- as they incite them
- in violent and in bloody terms.
- 742
- 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:30,996
- They speak not of reform...
- But of destruction.
- 743
- 00:45:33,833 --> 00:45:37,496
- Oh, I humbly beseech
- your lordship
- 744
- 00:45:37,583 --> 00:45:39,824
- to do all within your power
- 745
- 00:45:39,917 --> 00:45:45,958
- to bring forth
- a great deluge from above,
- 746
- 00:45:46,042 --> 00:45:51,162
- that this may extinguish
- once and for all
- 747
- 00:45:51,250 --> 00:45:56,324
- this most ferocious
- and bloody threat
- 748
- 00:45:56,417 --> 00:46:01,366
- to the peace and Harmony
- of our... great land..."
- 749
- 00:46:02,958 --> 00:46:05,040
- No...
- 750
- 00:46:05,125 --> 00:46:09,448
- "Of our... sweet land.
- 751
- 00:46:10,375 --> 00:46:12,957
- I remain, as always, your most
- humble and obedient servant,
- 752
- 00:46:13,042 --> 00:46:18,491
- reverend...
- Charles wicksted ethelston."
- 753
- 00:46:20,208 --> 00:46:21,823
- Poetry!
- 754
- 00:47:15,667 --> 00:47:17,453
- Morning, mr rook.
- 755
- 00:47:23,208 --> 00:47:25,665
- Mr grout, sir.
- Lord sidmouth and mr hobhouse.
- 756
- 00:47:25,750 --> 00:47:27,741
- Thank you, mr Cobb.
- 757
- 00:47:39,292 --> 00:47:41,874
- Mm. Mr golightly?
- 758
- 00:47:48,458 --> 00:47:51,325
- The reverend ethelston.
- 759
- 00:47:51,833 --> 00:47:55,075
- "The rallying cry of bagguley
- and his scurrilous brethren
- 760
- 00:47:55,167 --> 00:47:57,078
- - are hallooed by..."
- - Hallooed!
- 761
- 00:47:57,167 --> 00:47:59,533
- - Hallooed!
- - Hallooed!
- 762
- 00:47:59,625 --> 00:48:02,037
- "By the ill-educated,
- ungodly mob
- 763
- 00:48:02,125 --> 00:48:06,494
- as they incite them in
- violent and in bloody terms."
- 764
- 00:48:06,583 --> 00:48:08,790
- Heaven defend his congregation,
- mr grout.
- 765
- 00:48:08,875 --> 00:48:10,456
- Indeed, mr golightly.
- 766
- 00:48:31,250 --> 00:48:33,241
- Ethelston.
- 767
- 00:48:33,333 --> 00:48:35,574
- "Bring forth a deluge
- from above..."
- 768
- 00:48:35,667 --> 00:48:37,328
- The bard of Manchester.
- 769
- 00:48:37,417 --> 00:48:39,749
- Five thousand
- at bagguley's meeting!
- 770
- 00:48:39,833 --> 00:48:43,075
- Bagguley?
- I believe the time has come
- 771
- 00:48:43,167 --> 00:48:45,749
- to remove the head
- of this particular serpent.
- 772
- 00:48:45,833 --> 00:48:47,619
- - How old is he?
- - Nineteen.
- 773
- 00:48:47,708 --> 00:48:50,541
- - Sunday school scholars.
- - Indeed.
- 774
- 00:48:50,625 --> 00:48:52,411
- We have given this young man
- enough rope
- 775
- 00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:55,458
- with which to hang himself.
- I suggest we tighten the knot.
- 776
- 00:48:55,542 --> 00:48:58,705
- This plague ever spreads
- throughout the land.
- 777
- 00:48:58,792 --> 00:49:01,158
- We must be brutal,
- with a cautious hand.
- 778
- 00:49:01,250 --> 00:49:03,286
- Indeed we must.
- 779
- 00:49:04,125 --> 00:49:08,744
- Another magisterial missive
- from Manchester.
- 780
- 00:49:09,417 --> 00:49:11,282
- Hmm.
- 781
- 00:49:11,875 --> 00:49:16,164
- Gentlemen, may I first avow,
- 782
- 00:49:16,250 --> 00:49:18,491
- that it is a matter
- of some pride...
- 783
- 00:49:20,250 --> 00:49:21,740
- Immense privilege
- 784
- 00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:24,540
- and not insignificant
- encouragement...
- 785
- 00:49:24,625 --> 00:49:27,947
- To be met here today in this
- great Metropolis of London
- 786
- 00:49:28,042 --> 00:49:31,205
- with such a wide and devoted
- body of reformers.
- 787
- 00:49:31,292 --> 00:49:32,953
- Audience: Hear, hear.
- 788
- 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,742
- Faced with
- the mighty forces of tyranny
- 789
- 00:49:39,833 --> 00:49:41,619
- wielded by those in power...
- 790
- 00:49:43,083 --> 00:49:46,450
- Felt that our actions
- were of no more impact
- 791
- 00:49:46,542 --> 00:49:48,453
- than the ripples thrown up
- 792
- 00:49:48,542 --> 00:49:51,329
- by a single pebble
- tossed into the sea.
- 793
- 00:49:51,417 --> 00:49:53,328
- Audience: Hear, hear.
- 794
- 00:50:00,583 --> 00:50:03,165
- As we look
- our fellow man in the eye,
- 795
- 00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:05,616
- in the sure knowledge
- that we gather here
- 796
- 00:50:05,708 --> 00:50:09,826
- to protect and improve
- the lives and future lives
- 797
- 00:50:09,917 --> 00:50:13,364
- of the tens, the hundreds
- of thousands of souls
- 798
- 00:50:13,458 --> 00:50:16,200
- that we have the great honour
- to represent...
- 799
- 00:50:17,917 --> 00:50:21,614
- Let us know that those ripples
- 800
- 00:50:21,708 --> 00:50:24,495
- can and will begin to grow.
- 801
- 00:50:24,583 --> 00:50:26,949
- Audience: Aye! - Hear, hear!
- 802
- 00:50:27,042 --> 00:50:30,864
- They will grow
- as we grow together.
- 803
- 00:50:30,958 --> 00:50:32,414
- Audience: Aye.
- 804
- 00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:35,617
- And as we combine, in courage,
- 805
- 00:50:35,708 --> 00:50:38,450
- conviction and companionship...
- 806
- 00:50:38,542 --> 00:50:39,873
- Audience: Hear, hear.
- 807
- 00:50:43,542 --> 00:50:46,659
- - Will become waves...
- - Hear, hear!
- 808
- 00:50:46,750 --> 00:50:50,288
- That will rise inexorably,
- 809
- 00:50:50,375 --> 00:50:53,867
- until they begin
- to pound this land
- 810
- 00:50:53,958 --> 00:50:58,702
- and come crashing down
- on the corrupt old order.
- 811
- 00:50:58,792 --> 00:51:01,078
- Aye! Well said, sir!
- 812
- 00:51:01,167 --> 00:51:02,998
- Hear, hear!
- 813
- 00:51:04,167 --> 00:51:08,285
- So that from
- the rich fertile ground,
- 814
- 00:51:08,375 --> 00:51:13,290
- left behind by these
- magnificent, mighty waves,
- 815
- 00:51:14,083 --> 00:51:18,577
- will rise up the purest shoots
- 816
- 00:51:18,667 --> 00:51:21,579
- of regrowth and renewal.
- 817
- 00:51:21,667 --> 00:51:24,204
- - Aye! Huzzah!
- - Hear, hear!
- 818
- 00:51:24,292 --> 00:51:26,248
- Hear, hear!
- 819
- 00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:29,370
- So that from our actions,
- 820
- 00:51:29,458 --> 00:51:33,121
- actions forged by the needs,
- 821
- 00:51:33,208 --> 00:51:38,578
- the cries, the ardent pleas
- of our common man,
- 822
- 00:51:39,500 --> 00:51:42,207
- we may put that common man
- 823
- 00:51:42,292 --> 00:51:45,364
- at the heart of any
- commons house of parliament.
- 824
- 00:51:47,750 --> 00:51:50,116
- - Well said, sir!
- - Hear, hear!
- 825
- 00:51:54,833 --> 00:51:58,576
- One vote for each and all free men!
- 826
- 00:52:00,667 --> 00:52:04,785
- Let that vote be cast
- in secret, and annually.
- 827
- 00:52:04,875 --> 00:52:06,160
- That is what we must seek.
- 828
- 00:52:09,708 --> 00:52:12,040
- For let it never be in doubt...
- 829
- 00:52:13,625 --> 00:52:17,664
- That there can finally be
- no cessation
- 830
- 00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:22,540
- of any reform that is
- undeniably right, just,
- 831
- 00:52:22,625 --> 00:52:27,449
- and in the overwhelming
- interest of the multitude!
- 832
- 00:52:48,167 --> 00:52:50,078
- Mr hunt, sir.
- 833
- 00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,283
- Pray pardon the intrusion, sir,
- 834
- 00:52:52,375 --> 00:52:54,491
- but may I say
- how heart-warming it is
- 835
- 00:52:54,583 --> 00:52:56,448
- to hear a man
- speak from the heart
- 836
- 00:52:56,542 --> 00:52:58,373
- on a subject so close to our hearts.
- 837
- 00:52:58,458 --> 00:52:59,458
- Aye.
- 838
- 00:52:59,542 --> 00:53:01,123
- I thank you for your kind words.
- 839
- 00:53:01,208 --> 00:53:04,655
- We are fellow reformers, sir,
- from lancashire way.
- 840
- 00:53:04,750 --> 00:53:06,411
- Indeed?
- 841
- 00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,116
- Samuel bamford
- and mr Joseph healey.
- 842
- 00:53:09,208 --> 00:53:10,323
- Dr healey.
- 843
- 00:53:11,208 --> 00:53:12,664
- Gentlemen.
- 844
- 00:53:15,833 --> 00:53:17,949
- T'would be a great honour
- for t'both of us.
- 845
- 00:53:18,042 --> 00:53:20,033
- Alas, I must soon return
- to my rooms
- 846
- 00:53:25,792 --> 00:53:27,783
- - Good day, sir.
- - Good day, sir.
- 847
- 00:53:36,917 --> 00:53:39,078
- Might I trouble you
- to stand, sir?
- 848
- 00:53:41,833 --> 00:53:42,948
- Thank you, sir.
- 849
- 00:53:43,042 --> 00:53:45,124
- Have you misplaced something,
- missus?
- 850
- 00:53:45,208 --> 00:53:46,823
- Mouse droppings.
- 851
- 00:53:56,458 --> 00:53:57,823
- You are Mr...
- 852
- 00:53:57,917 --> 00:54:00,124
- - Richards.
- - Mr Richards.
- 853
- 00:54:00,792 --> 00:54:03,955
- And what can we do for you,
- mr Richards?
- 854
- 00:54:04,542 --> 00:54:07,079
- It's more of a case of what
- I can do for you, gentlemen.
- 855
- 00:54:07,667 --> 00:54:09,623
- And what can you do for us,
- mr Richards?
- 856
- 00:54:09,708 --> 00:54:11,118
- May I?
- 857
- 00:54:11,208 --> 00:54:13,665
- If you must, but make haste.
- 858
- 00:54:13,750 --> 00:54:15,661
- Thank you.
- 859
- 00:54:23,583 --> 00:54:26,245
- I'm a patriot, just like you,
- gentlemen.
- 860
- 00:54:29,417 --> 00:54:31,123
- I would lay down my life
- for my country.
- 861
- 00:54:36,417 --> 00:54:37,577
- I have certain information
- 862
- 00:54:37,667 --> 00:54:40,033
- that I believe would be
- very useful to you.
- 863
- 00:54:41,458 --> 00:54:46,373
- I have contacts...
- Skills, ways and means.
- 864
- 00:54:50,417 --> 00:54:52,282
- Where do you hail from,
- mr Richards?
- 865
- 00:54:52,917 --> 00:54:54,157
- Here and there. London.
- 866
- 00:54:54,250 --> 00:54:55,615
- It's... hard to say.
- 867
- 00:54:55,708 --> 00:54:58,324
- Have you visited
- the north of england?
- 868
- 00:54:59,208 --> 00:55:00,493
- Yes and no.
- 869
- 00:55:00,583 --> 00:55:03,416
- But I'm familiar enough
- with the north, sir.
- 870
- 00:55:03,500 --> 00:55:05,866
- These contacts.
- Are they in the north?
- 871
- 00:55:06,833 --> 00:55:07,913
- Maybe.
- 872
- 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,206
- Debating clubs?
- 873
- 00:55:09,292 --> 00:55:11,032
- Union societies?
- 874
- 00:55:11,125 --> 00:55:12,490
- Reform meetings?
- 875
- 00:55:12,583 --> 00:55:14,289
- Perhaps.
- 876
- 00:55:14,375 --> 00:55:16,582
- Where? When?
- 877
- 00:55:16,667 --> 00:55:17,827
- Soon.
- 878
- 00:55:17,917 --> 00:55:20,249
- You receive visitors in London?
- 879
- 00:55:20,333 --> 00:55:22,369
- - From time to time.
- - How many?
- 880
- 00:55:22,458 --> 00:55:23,948
- Too many to count.
- 881
- 00:55:24,042 --> 00:55:25,532
- Come, come, mr Richards.
- 882
- 00:55:25,625 --> 00:55:27,161
- We should need numbers
- and names.
- 883
- 00:55:27,250 --> 00:55:29,206
- But of course.
- 884
- 00:55:30,125 --> 00:55:31,285
- At a price.
- 885
- 00:56:00,583 --> 00:56:03,120
- "My lords and gentlemen...
- 886
- 00:56:04,417 --> 00:56:07,614
- It is with deep regret
- that I am again obliged
- 887
- 00:56:07,708 --> 00:56:11,451
- to announce to you
- that no alteration has occurred
- 888
- 00:56:11,542 --> 00:56:13,658
- in the state of my dear father,
- 889
- 00:56:13,750 --> 00:56:17,743
- his majesty the king's,
- lamented indisposition.
- 890
- 00:56:20,083 --> 00:56:23,496
- The distresses consequent upon
- the termination of a war
- 891
- 00:56:23,583 --> 00:56:26,541
- of such unusual extent
- and duration
- 892
- 00:56:26,625 --> 00:56:30,322
- have been felt,
- with greater or less severity,
- 893
- 00:56:30,417 --> 00:56:32,999
- throughout
- all the nations of Europe.
- 894
- 00:56:34,125 --> 00:56:37,117
- You will, I doubt not,
- 895
- 00:56:37,208 --> 00:56:39,324
- feel a just indignation
- 896
- 00:56:39,417 --> 00:56:41,203
- at the attempts
- which have been made
- 897
- 00:56:41,292 --> 00:56:44,739
- to take advantage of
- the distresses of the country,
- 898
- 00:56:44,833 --> 00:56:47,245
- for the purpose
- of exciting a spirit
- 899
- 00:56:47,333 --> 00:56:49,995
- of sedition and violence."
- 900
- 00:56:54,375 --> 00:57:00,496
- "I am too well convinced of
- the loyalty and good sense
- 901
- 00:57:00,583 --> 00:57:03,950
- of the great body
- of his majesty's subjects,
- 902
- 00:57:04,042 --> 00:57:09,116
- to believe them capable of
- being perverted by the arts
- 903
- 00:57:09,208 --> 00:57:11,790
- which are employed
- to seduce them.
- 904
- 00:57:13,708 --> 00:57:18,156
- But I am determined
- to omit no precautions
- 905
- 00:57:18,250 --> 00:57:20,707
- for preserving the public peace,
- 906
- 00:57:21,625 --> 00:57:24,947
- and for counteracting the
- designs of the disaffected.
- 907
- 00:57:26,542 --> 00:57:29,830
- And I rely with
- the utmost confidence
- 908
- 00:57:29,917 --> 00:57:34,411
- on your cordial support
- and cooperation,
- 909
- 00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:39,073
- in upholding a system
- of law and government,
- 910
- 00:57:39,167 --> 00:57:42,659
- which I deem to be
- the most perfect
- 911
- 00:57:42,750 --> 00:57:46,948
- that has ever fallen
- to the lot of any people."
- 912
- 00:57:47,042 --> 00:57:49,033
- Hear, hear!
- 913
- 00:58:06,125 --> 00:58:08,707
- - Give us a potato.
- - What?
- 914
- 00:58:15,042 --> 00:58:16,953
- - Gi' us a tattie.
- - What for?
- 915
- 00:58:17,042 --> 00:58:18,532
- God save the prince regent!
- 916
- 00:58:18,625 --> 00:58:20,707
- What're you doin"?
- That's our supper!
- 917
- 00:58:20,792 --> 00:58:22,532
- Ah! Ahh!
- 918
- 00:58:23,292 --> 00:58:24,828
- Billy!
- 919
- 00:58:30,333 --> 00:58:32,415
- Lord chancellor!
- 920
- 00:58:33,792 --> 00:58:35,157
- My lords!
- 921
- 00:58:35,250 --> 00:58:39,368
- I have one of the most
- important communications
- 922
- 00:58:39,458 --> 00:58:40,914
- to make to your lordships,
- 923
- 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,117
- that has ever been made
- to parliament.
- 924
- 00:58:45,583 --> 00:58:50,156
- His royal highness
- was only now leaving this house
- 925
- 00:58:50,250 --> 00:58:54,414
- when he was most viciously
- attacked with a stone,
- 926
- 00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:59,369
- or as some say, two balls,
- fired from an air-gun...
- 927
- 00:58:59,458 --> 00:59:02,325
- Or some other
- heinous instrument.
- 928
- 00:59:03,542 --> 00:59:05,533
- The malignant spirit,
- 929
- 00:59:05,625 --> 00:59:08,788
- born of the odious
- French revolution,
- 930
- 00:59:08,875 --> 00:59:12,823
- is even now plainly
- persuading our people
- 931
- 00:59:12,917 --> 00:59:14,873
- that, alone by open violence,
- 932
- 00:59:14,958 --> 00:59:17,165
- can their grievances
- be redressed.
- 933
- 00:59:20,625 --> 00:59:24,698
- I am deeply pained
- upon this occasion,
- 934
- 00:59:24,792 --> 00:59:28,831
- to state that I require
- the suspension
- 935
- 00:59:28,917 --> 00:59:31,078
- of the habeas corpus act.
- 936
- 00:59:32,792 --> 00:59:34,999
- And, my lords,
- I ask that this power
- 937
- 00:59:35,083 --> 00:59:37,620
- should be communicated
- without d-delay...
- 938
- 00:59:37,708 --> 00:59:40,120
- Lords: Hear, hear!
- 939
- 00:59:40,208 --> 00:59:42,199
- For here procrastination
- 940
- 00:59:42,292 --> 00:59:45,705
- would spell
- nothing short of... ruin.
- 941
- 00:59:45,792 --> 00:59:47,703
- Lords: Hear, hear.
- 942
- 00:59:53,833 --> 00:59:55,824
- Good morning, gentlemen.
- 943
- 00:59:55,917 --> 00:59:57,623
- Good morning, Joseph.
- 944
- 00:59:59,625 --> 01:00:01,365
- I bring us good fortune.
- 945
- 01:00:01,458 --> 01:00:03,790
- - We can do with some of that.
- - Aye.
- 946
- 01:00:03,875 --> 01:00:06,457
- I found this on deansgate.
- 947
- 01:00:06,542 --> 01:00:08,123
- How are you faring?
- What tidings?
- 948
- 01:00:08,208 --> 01:00:10,415
- - How's the brush trade, Joe?
- - Grand. Grand.
- 949
- 01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:11,910
- It thrives, John, it thrives.
- 950
- 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,707
- So, gentlemen, our response
- to this evil action.
- 951
- 01:00:14,792 --> 01:00:16,748
- - We must be clear.
- - Indeed.
- 952
- 01:00:16,833 --> 01:00:18,414
- We have a duty to our readers
- 953
- 01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:21,458
- to explain
- what a barbaric act this is.
- 954
- 01:00:21,542 --> 01:00:23,749
- It may be that not every reader
- will understand
- 955
- 01:00:23,833 --> 01:00:25,073
- what habeas corpus means.
- 956
- 01:00:25,167 --> 01:00:26,532
- - Indeed.
- - Exactly so.
- 957
- 01:00:26,625 --> 01:00:28,035
- We must remind them.
- 958
- 01:00:28,125 --> 01:00:31,242
- "Habeas corpus means every
- briton's right to protection
- 959
- 01:00:31,333 --> 01:00:34,905
- against unlawful arrest
- and detainment without charge."
- 960
- 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,831
- - Er... good.
- - Tis a... a cornerstone
- 961
- 01:00:36,917 --> 01:00:38,282
- - of our constitution.
- - Aye.
- 962
- 01:00:38,375 --> 01:00:41,492
- Without which the common man
- is reduced to slavery.
- 963
- 01:00:41,583 --> 01:00:46,247
- Yes. Now, "there are
- three classes of men -
- 964
- 01:00:46,333 --> 01:00:51,157
- lovers of wisdom, lovers of
- honour and lovers of gain."
- 965
- 01:00:52,625 --> 01:00:53,705
- Plato.
- 966
- 01:00:53,792 --> 01:00:56,579
- We're aware it's Plato, John,
- but is it truly to the matter?
- 967
- 01:00:56,667 --> 01:00:58,282
- In my opinion, it is.
- 968
- 01:00:58,375 --> 01:01:00,411
- I think not in this instant.
- 969
- 01:01:00,500 --> 01:01:03,287
- - Jack not in this morning?
- - Fetching paper supplies.
- 970
- 01:01:03,375 --> 01:01:05,707
- - Grand, grand.
- - Read that out, James.
- 971
- 01:01:05,792 --> 01:01:07,498
- "It is the cornerstone
- of our constitution
- 972
- 01:01:07,583 --> 01:01:08,643
- without which
- we are reduced to..."
- 973
- 01:01:08,667 --> 01:01:10,532
- Now then, lads.
- 974
- 01:01:10,625 --> 01:01:12,411
- - Good morrow, gentlemen.
- - Sam.
- 975
- 01:01:12,500 --> 01:01:13,500
- Doctor.
- 976
- 01:01:13,583 --> 01:01:15,323
- How are you going
- at this end of t'country?
- 977
- 01:01:15,417 --> 01:01:17,658
- How are you going at
- t'other end more to the point?
- 978
- 01:01:17,750 --> 01:01:19,957
- - We've been to London.
- - When did you get back up?
- 979
- 01:01:20,042 --> 01:01:21,452
- - Last night.
- - By coach.
- 980
- 01:01:21,542 --> 01:01:23,954
- - We were inside.
- - Aye, keeping out of t'rain.
- 981
- 01:01:24,042 --> 01:01:26,454
- Please, gentlemen,
- make yourselves comfortable.
- 982
- 01:01:26,542 --> 01:01:28,157
- Aye.
- 983
- 01:01:28,250 --> 01:01:31,083
- Smoky and dark as ever,
- were London.
- 984
- 01:01:31,167 --> 01:01:33,408
- Shan't be going back there
- in a hurry.
- 985
- 01:01:33,500 --> 01:01:35,331
- - There were uproar.
- - An attack on t'prince!
- 986
- 01:01:35,417 --> 01:01:37,578
- - Did you hear about it?
- - So we heard, aye.
- 987
- 01:01:37,667 --> 01:01:39,123
- There were talk of gunfire.
- 988
- 01:01:39,208 --> 01:01:41,369
- - Pistol shot, rifle shot...
- - Cannon fire.
- 989
- 01:01:41,458 --> 01:01:42,914
- We heard he was hit by a potato.
- 990
- 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,581
- Poor fat lad,
- 991
- 01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:46,908
- wouldn't know what to do
- wi' a raw potato.
- 992
- 01:01:48,167 --> 01:01:50,658
- But, think on this.
- 993
- 01:01:50,750 --> 01:01:54,493
- We saw mr Henry hunt
- addressing t'crowd.
- 994
- 01:01:54,583 --> 01:01:56,244
- You saw orator hunt?
- 995
- 01:01:56,333 --> 01:01:58,790
- Orator hunt.
- Isn't that right, doctor?
- 996
- 01:01:58,875 --> 01:02:02,242
- Aye, we saw him, we heard him
- and we were moved by him.
- 997
- 01:02:02,333 --> 01:02:04,995
- - That right, Sam?
- - Aye, at elephant and castle.
- 998
- 01:02:05,083 --> 01:02:08,621
- Never afore did I see a man
- so gifted in public speak -
- 999
- 01:02:08,708 --> 01:02:11,324
- and ['ve heard a few in my time.
- 1000
- 01:02:11,417 --> 01:02:13,078
- Tha'self included, John.
- 1001
- 01:02:13,167 --> 01:02:14,748
- You're not so bad
- on the hustings, Sam.
- 1002
- 01:02:14,833 --> 01:02:16,949
- Aye, I have a certain following.
- 1003
- 01:02:17,042 --> 01:02:19,533
- But not like this man.
- It's as if he were born to it.
- 1004
- 01:02:19,625 --> 01:02:22,788
- - We can all deliver a speech.
- - Do not get me wrong, John.
- 1005
- 01:02:22,875 --> 01:02:26,288
- I'm not saying that
- tha'self cannot turn a phrase,
- 1006
- 01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:29,822
- but this feller, he knows
- how to unite the crowd.
- 1007
- 01:02:29,917 --> 01:02:32,078
- - Do we not all do that?
- - Aye, but...
- 1008
- 01:02:32,167 --> 01:02:35,910
- He speaks with a...
- A passion and a fervour
- 1009
- 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,036
- about t'same matters
- and t'same concerns
- 1010
- 01:02:38,125 --> 01:02:40,537
- we've all been preaching about
- these past years,
- 1011
- 01:02:41,167 --> 01:02:44,705
- but when he does it,
- the crowd, they follow him.
- 1012
- 01:02:45,917 --> 01:02:47,453
- They're in t'palm of his hand.
- 1013
- 01:02:47,542 --> 01:02:49,032
- They say he's not a modest man.
- 1014
- 01:02:49,125 --> 01:02:52,242
- Aye, "vaingloriousâ€Â,
- I've heard folk describe him.
- 1015
- 01:02:52,333 --> 01:02:54,369
- Well, I daresay
- he's not perfect.
- 1016
- 01:02:54,458 --> 01:02:57,040
- - Who of us here is?
- - Was he wearing his white hat?
- 1017
- 01:02:57,125 --> 01:02:58,160
- - Aye.
- - Aye.
- 1018
- 01:02:58,250 --> 01:03:00,787
- He were wearing his white hat.
- So you could see him, aye.
- 1019
- 01:03:00,875 --> 01:03:02,331
- You wouldn't miss him
- in t'crowd.
- 1020
- 01:03:03,458 --> 01:03:05,073
- - Jack.
- - Good day, gentlemen.
- 1021
- 01:03:05,167 --> 01:03:07,374
- - Jack. How do?
- - Jack.
- 1022
- 01:03:07,458 --> 01:03:09,073
- Here he is.
- 1023
- 01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:12,832
- - Is he not a landowner?
- - Aye, he is, James,
- 1024
- 01:03:12,917 --> 01:03:15,659
- and a countryman -
- and a wealthy one at that.
- 1025
- 01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:18,708
- And that gives him
- the wherewithal and the ability
- 1026
- 01:03:18,792 --> 01:03:21,534
- to fight for Liberty and reform.
- 1027
- 01:03:21,625 --> 01:03:24,617
- - True, true.
- - Now think on this.
- 1028
- 01:03:24,708 --> 01:03:27,666
- If you lads,
- through your newspaper,
- 1029
- 01:03:27,750 --> 01:03:29,911
- and t'Manchester
- patriotic union,
- 1030
- 01:03:30,625 --> 01:03:35,073
- are planning this big
- public meeting at Peter's field
- 1031
- 01:03:35,167 --> 01:03:37,749
- to discuss universal suffrage
- 1032
- 01:03:37,833 --> 01:03:40,575
- and the election of
- a representative for Manchester
- 1033
- 01:03:40,667 --> 01:03:44,455
- in parliament, then surely you
- would want Henry hunt
- 1034
- 01:03:44,542 --> 01:03:46,578
- addressing t'crowd
- alongside t'rest of us.
- 1035
- 01:03:46,667 --> 01:03:49,409
- We don't need some fancy dandy
- coming up here,
- 1036
- 01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:50,865
- taking over the show.
- 1037
- 01:03:50,958 --> 01:03:54,280
- Hey, John saxton,
- I come here to speak as I find.
- 1038
- 01:03:54,375 --> 01:03:56,491
- Thy prejudice
- is thine own affair.
- 1039
- 01:03:56,583 --> 01:03:59,120
- But will he be as effectual
- up here with our people,
- 1040
- 01:03:59,208 --> 01:04:00,869
- as he is down there
- with London folk?
- 1041
- 01:04:00,958 --> 01:04:02,573
- - Aye.
- - He would be effectual
- 1042
- 01:04:02,667 --> 01:04:04,248
- anywhere in t'country
- 1043
- 01:04:04,333 --> 01:04:06,665
- as long as there were
- aq crowd to listen to him.
- 1044
- 01:04:06,750 --> 01:04:09,207
- From John o'groats
- to t'land's end.
- 1045
- 01:04:09,292 --> 01:04:10,327
- Did you speak to him?
- 1046
- 01:04:11,042 --> 01:04:13,078
- We made ourselves known to him,
- aye.
- 1047
- 01:04:13,167 --> 01:04:15,453
- - We told him our business.
- - And what was he like?
- 1048
- 01:04:15,542 --> 01:04:16,873
- In himself.
- 1049
- 01:04:16,958 --> 01:04:21,076
- Why... you'd be...
- Hard pushed to say.
- 1050
- 01:04:21,167 --> 01:04:22,532
- - He were...
- - Aye.
- 1051
- 01:04:22,625 --> 01:04:25,082
- - He has a round face.
- - Aye.
- 1052
- 01:04:25,875 --> 01:04:29,117
- You might say
- he were a bit bland.
- 1053
- 01:04:29,208 --> 01:04:32,200
- Aye, but I do hear tell
- he has his own brewery.
- 1054
- 01:04:32,292 --> 01:04:34,408
- Aye. True, true.
- 1055
- 01:04:35,875 --> 01:04:38,708
- Now, if I am done here,
- 1056
- 01:04:38,792 --> 01:04:42,159
- my good wife has promised me
- a hot potato pie
- 1057
- 01:04:42,250 --> 01:04:45,742
- on my return to middleton,
- so if tha' will allow me, John,
- 1058
- 01:04:45,833 --> 01:04:49,030
- I shall be making my way up
- t'bank to avail myself of it.
- 1059
- 01:04:50,167 --> 01:04:52,408
- We shall give this matter
- our due consideration.
- 1060
- 01:04:55,083 --> 01:04:57,415
- - Good day.
- - See thee later, lads.
- 1061
- 01:04:57,500 --> 01:04:58,580
- Good day.
- 1062
- 01:04:58,667 --> 01:05:01,739
- - Where are we up to, Jack?
- - Just off three hundred.
- 1063
- 01:05:01,833 --> 01:05:03,744
- Can you not go any faster?
- 1064
- 01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:05,494
- A faster printer you'll not find
- 1065
- 01:05:05,583 --> 01:05:06,823
- in the whole of Manchester.
- 1066
- 01:05:06,917 --> 01:05:08,873
- Thank you, sir.
- 1067
- 01:05:08,958 --> 01:05:11,540
- Right, gentlemen, I must away.
- 1068
- 01:05:12,542 --> 01:05:13,782
- - Good day.
- - Good day.
- 1069
- 01:05:13,875 --> 01:05:14,875
- Good day.
- 1070
- 01:05:36,042 --> 01:05:38,124
- Here's tha' beer, Joseph.
- 1071
- 01:05:46,833 --> 01:05:48,744
- - Who's tha' writing to?
- - Hush, woman.
- 1072
- 01:05:56,042 --> 01:05:59,489
- I am writing to the great
- orator, mr Henry hunt...
- 1073
- 01:06:00,250 --> 01:06:02,036
- Esquire.
- 1074
- 01:06:03,375 --> 01:06:04,990
- Oh.
- 1075
- 01:06:08,667 --> 01:06:10,532
- Here is the intercepted mail,
- mr grout.
- 1076
- 01:06:10,625 --> 01:06:12,536
- Thank you, mr Cobb.
- 1077
- 01:06:22,417 --> 01:06:24,203
- Hmm. Exactly so.
- 1078
- 01:06:24,292 --> 01:06:26,248
- Most definitely, mr grout.
- 1079
- 01:06:26,333 --> 01:06:28,824
- Yes, I concur, mr golightly.
- 1080
- 01:06:35,542 --> 01:06:37,749
- Who is this Johnson?
- 1081
- 01:06:38,917 --> 01:06:40,532
- He holds a position of influence
- 1082
- 01:06:40,625 --> 01:06:42,911
- amongst the middle class
- radicals of Manchester.
- 1083
- 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,661
- He is a brush manufacturer.
- 1084
- 01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:47,539
- A brush manufacturer?
- 1085
- 01:06:47,625 --> 01:06:49,490
- Apparently.
- 1086
- 01:06:49,583 --> 01:06:50,823
- There is now little doubt
- 1087
- 01:06:50,917 --> 01:06:53,033
- that this mass meeting
- will take place.
- 1088
- 01:06:53,125 --> 01:06:55,411
- - Legally, we cannot ban it.
- - Alas, not.
- 1089
- 01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:58,492
- A working class upstart orator
- is one thing,
- 1090
- 01:06:58,583 --> 01:07:01,290
- but a land-owning,
- self-styled man of the people
- 1091
- 01:07:01,375 --> 01:07:03,457
- like hunt is quite another.
- 1092
- 01:07:03,542 --> 01:07:05,874
- We cannot allow
- this wiltshire peacock
- 1093
- 01:07:05,958 --> 01:07:07,619
- to incite the disaffected masses
- 1094
- 01:07:07,708 --> 01:07:11,280
- under the spurious guise
- of parliamentary reform.
- 1095
- 01:07:11,375 --> 01:07:15,414
- This is a powder keg which will
- ignite at the slightest spark.
- 1096
- 01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:16,740
- I believe it prudent
- 1097
- 01:07:16,833 --> 01:07:18,664
- that we write to general
- byng immediately.
- 1098
- 01:07:18,750 --> 01:07:23,790
- Indeed. Instruct him
- to increase his forces
- 1099
- 01:07:23,875 --> 01:07:26,787
- to the utmost degree possible.
- 1100
- 01:07:26,875 --> 01:07:29,082
- - Post haste, my lord.
- - And, hobhouse,
- 1101
- 01:07:29,167 --> 01:07:31,749
- insist that
- the local magistrates
- 1102
- 01:07:31,833 --> 01:07:34,745
- exercise the greatest restraint.
- 1103
- 01:07:37,042 --> 01:07:38,373
- Very good, my lord.
- 1104
- 01:07:45,625 --> 01:07:47,365
- Dear sisters,
- 1105
- 01:07:47,458 --> 01:07:50,746
- welcome to the Manchester
- female reform society.
- 1106
- 01:07:50,833 --> 01:07:52,198
- They said we've got to pay,
- 1107
- 01:07:52,292 --> 01:07:54,533
- but I'm not paying 'cos I
- "aven't got owt to give.
- 1108
- 01:07:54,625 --> 01:07:58,197
- There is no money to be given
- if you do not have it.
- 1109
- 01:07:58,292 --> 01:08:00,328
- Please, do take a seat.
- 1110
- 01:08:01,583 --> 01:08:02,993
- I'm right standing, thank you.
- 1111
- 01:08:04,167 --> 01:08:05,167
- As you wish.
- 1112
- 01:08:06,292 --> 01:08:08,578
- As I'm sure you are all aware,
- 1113
- 01:08:08,667 --> 01:08:11,374
- there is to be a great meeting
- at st Peter's field
- 1114
- 01:08:11,458 --> 01:08:13,540
- to further the cause of reform.
- 1115
- 01:08:14,583 --> 01:08:18,405
- We have reviewed
- for a considerable time past
- 1116
- 01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:23,369
- the apathy and frequent insult
- of our oppressed countrymen
- 1117
- 01:08:23,458 --> 01:08:26,165
- by the borough-mongering
- aristocracy.
- 1118
- 01:08:32,917 --> 01:08:36,239
- And in order to accelerate
- the emancipation
- 1119
- 01:08:36,333 --> 01:08:40,497
- of our suffering nation,
- we do declare that we will
- 1120
- 01:08:40,583 --> 01:08:43,871
- assist the male union
- formed in this town,
- 1121
- 01:08:43,958 --> 01:08:47,121
- with all the might and energy
- that we possess,
- 1122
- 01:08:47,208 --> 01:08:50,826
- in obtaining the object
- of our common solicitude.
- 1123
- 01:08:50,917 --> 01:08:52,908
- I don't understand
- a word you're saying.
- 1124
- 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,992
- - Give over and sit down.
- - No, she's right.
- 1125
- 01:08:56,083 --> 01:08:58,119
- I don't understand
- what she's saying neither.
- 1126
- 01:08:58,208 --> 01:08:59,744
- - No.
- - Ladies, please,
- 1127
- 01:09:00,500 --> 01:09:01,990
- you will all
- get a chance to speak.
- 1128
- 01:09:02,083 --> 01:09:05,075
- Pray silence for our president,
- mrs fildes.
- 1129
- 01:09:05,167 --> 01:09:07,158
- Thank you, Susanna.
- 1130
- 01:09:07,250 --> 01:09:09,787
- One man, one vote.
- 1131
- 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:22,165
- Representation for all of us,
- for each and every family.
- 1132
- 01:09:22,875 --> 01:09:24,615
- Hear, hear!
- 1133
- 01:09:28,250 --> 01:09:31,287
- We are neither ashamed,
- nor afraid,
- 1134
- 01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:33,991
- of thus aiding our menfolk,
- 1135
- 01:09:34,083 --> 01:09:38,531
- and we are actuated
- by no motives of petty vanity.
- 1136
- 01:09:39,250 --> 01:09:44,665
- We come together as wives,
- mothers, daughters and sisters
- 1137
- 01:09:44,750 --> 01:09:48,948
- in our social, domestic
- and moral capacities.
- 1138
- 01:09:49,042 --> 01:09:50,282
- Women: Aye.
- 1139
- 01:09:54,792 --> 01:09:58,330
- May our flag never be unfurled
- 1140
- 01:09:58,417 --> 01:10:03,411
- but in the sacred cause
- of Liberty, peace and reform,
- 1141
- 01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:06,742
- and then may a female's curse
- 1142
- 01:10:06,833 --> 01:10:10,155
- pursue the coward
- who deserts the standard.
- 1143
- 01:10:10,250 --> 01:10:12,206
- Woman: Aye!
- 1144
- 01:10:21,333 --> 01:10:25,576
- And now, ladies, our secretary,
- mrs Susanna saxton,
- 1145
- 01:10:25,667 --> 01:10:27,373
- will say a few words.
- 1146
- 01:10:31,292 --> 01:10:33,453
- Sisters of the earth,
- 1147
- 01:10:33,542 --> 01:10:36,409
- how could you bear to see
- the infant at the breast
- 1148
- 01:10:36,500 --> 01:10:39,492
- drawing from you the remnants
- of your last blood,
- 1149
- 01:10:39,583 --> 01:10:42,495
- instead of the nourishment
- which nature requires?
- 1150
- 01:10:42,583 --> 01:10:44,414
- The only subsistence
- for yourselves
- 1151
- 01:10:47,417 --> 01:10:49,328
- we can no longer bear to see
- 1152
- 01:10:49,417 --> 01:10:52,580
- numbers of our parents
- immured in workhouses,
- 1153
- 01:10:52,667 --> 01:10:54,749
- our fathers separated
- from our mothers
- 1154
- 01:10:54,833 --> 01:10:58,405
- in direct contradiction to
- the laws of god and man,
- 1155
- 01:10:59,125 --> 01:11:02,367
- our sons degraded
- below human nature,
- 1156
- 01:11:02,458 --> 01:11:04,995
- our husbands and our
- little ones clothed in rags
- 1157
- 01:11:05,083 --> 01:11:07,540
- and pining
- on the face of the earth.
- 1158
- 01:11:07,625 --> 01:11:10,367
- Our enemies are resolved
- upon destroying
- 1159
- 01:11:10,458 --> 01:11:13,074
- the last vestige
- of the natural rights of man,
- 1160
- 01:11:13,167 --> 01:11:15,158
- and we are determined
- to establish it.
- 1161
- 01:11:16,292 --> 01:11:17,657
- For as well might they attempt
- 1162
- 01:11:17,750 --> 01:11:19,581
- to arrest the sun
- in the region of space,
- 1163
- 01:11:19,667 --> 01:11:21,908
- or stop the diurnal motion
- of the earth,
- 1164
- 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:23,831
- as to impede the rapid progress
- 1165
- 01:11:23,917 --> 01:11:26,374
- of our enlightened friends
- to Liberty and truth.
- 1166
- 01:11:26,458 --> 01:11:28,164
- You're talking bullscutter,
- an' all.
- 1167
- 01:11:28,250 --> 01:11:30,332
- - Be quiet!
- - You be quiet!
- 1168
- 01:11:30,417 --> 01:11:33,079
- No, you sit down now
- and stop your brabblement.
- 1169
- 01:11:33,167 --> 01:11:35,624
- Order! Ladies, please!
- 1170
- 01:11:36,583 --> 01:11:37,823
- We cannot bear
- 1171
- 01:11:37,917 --> 01:11:41,080
- the ponderous weight
- of our chains any longer.
- 1172
- 01:11:41,167 --> 01:11:43,158
- But we must tear them asunder
- 1173
- 01:11:43,250 --> 01:11:46,117
- and dash them in the face of
- our remorseless oppressors,
- 1174
- 01:11:46,208 --> 01:11:49,075
- who have nearly picked bare
- the bones of those who labour.
- 1175
- 01:11:49,167 --> 01:11:50,998
- - They have, they have!
- - Aye, they have!
- 1176
- 01:11:51,083 --> 01:11:53,916
- The founder of christianity,
- Jesus Christ,
- 1177
- 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,286
- he was the greatest reformer
- of all.
- 1178
- 01:11:57,375 --> 01:12:00,208
- Sisters, the bitter cup
- of oppression
- 1179
- 01:12:00,292 --> 01:12:02,328
- is how full to the brim.
- 1180
- 01:12:05,833 --> 01:12:07,664
- Well done, Susanna.
- 1181
- 01:12:07,750 --> 01:12:10,867
- It's true! It's true is that.
- 1182
- 01:12:11,750 --> 01:12:14,116
- We come out on strike last year.
- 1183
- 01:12:14,208 --> 01:12:15,744
- We were out seven weeks,
- wasn't we?
- 1184
- 01:12:15,833 --> 01:12:17,494
- Aye, we wa'l
- 1185
- 01:12:17,583 --> 01:12:19,494
- they beat us back to work
- 1186
- 01:12:19,583 --> 01:12:22,655
- and we've got nowt
- to show for it, nowt!
- 1187
- 01:12:22,750 --> 01:12:25,082
- I've got two lads to feed
- and nowt to give 'em.
- 1188
- 01:12:25,167 --> 01:12:27,624
- - Be quiet, the both of you!
- - No, you be quiet!
- 1189
- 01:12:27,708 --> 01:12:29,994
- - You be quiet!
- - Don't you belder at me.
- 1190
- 01:12:30,083 --> 01:12:31,163
- I adies!
- 1191
- 01:12:31,250 --> 01:12:34,287
- Let us move on to the next
- subject on the agenda.
- 1192
- 01:12:36,792 --> 01:12:40,284
- So... let me
- get this straight, now.
- 1193
- 01:12:41,042 --> 01:12:42,532
- There's going to be a big march.
- 1194
- 01:12:42,625 --> 01:12:44,456
- Joshua: Aye!
- Robert: At Peter's field.
- 1195
- 01:12:44,542 --> 01:12:45,622
- - Outside?
- - Aye.
- 1196
- 01:12:45,708 --> 01:12:47,244
- - Not indoors?
- - No.
- 1197
- 01:12:47,333 --> 01:12:49,324
- - In broad daylight?
- Joshua: Yes!
- 1198
- 01:12:49,417 --> 01:12:51,328
- - On a Monday.
- - A Monday?
- 1199
- 01:12:51,417 --> 01:12:54,375
- - I know, it's daft.
- - Second Monday in August.
- 1200
- 01:12:54,458 --> 01:12:55,823
- - Not go to work?
- - Aye.
- 1201
- 01:12:55,917 --> 01:12:57,532
- They'll have to make do
- without us.
- 1202
- 01:12:57,625 --> 01:12:58,785
- We'll get the sack!
- 1203
- 01:12:58,875 --> 01:13:00,456
- Not if all the mills turn out.
- 1204
- 01:13:00,542 --> 01:13:01,748
- You're playing with fire.
- 1205
- 01:13:01,833 --> 01:13:03,664
- No, mother,
- this one'll be different.
- 1206
- 01:13:03,750 --> 01:13:04,910
- Different? How?
- 1207
- 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,537
- There's hundreds going,
- women and children an' all.
- 1208
- 01:13:07,625 --> 01:13:09,616
- Robert: We've to turn out
- in our Sunday best.
- 1209
- 01:13:09,708 --> 01:13:12,074
- Ah, well, I best get
- me darning needles out, then.
- 1210
- 01:13:12,167 --> 01:13:15,034
- Mary: Aye, you should, same as
- t'rest of t'street will be.
- 1211
- 01:13:15,125 --> 01:13:16,535
- I know they will,
- 1212
- 01:13:16,625 --> 01:13:19,788
- but so will that nadin
- and his bullies, the swine.
- 1213
- 01:13:19,875 --> 01:13:21,411
- They'll have to get past them!
- 1214
- 01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:24,458
- Aye, but people have been
- practising marching peacefully.
- 1215
- 01:13:24,542 --> 01:13:25,622
- Haven't they, father?
- 1216
- 01:13:25,708 --> 01:13:27,869
- Oh, aye, up on kersal moor,
- they say.
- 1217
- 01:13:27,958 --> 01:13:30,620
- - Childer?
- - Aye, 'ole families.
- 1218
- 01:13:30,708 --> 01:13:32,744
- It's a day out for everybody.
- 1219
- 01:13:32,833 --> 01:13:34,869
- We've to stand up
- for ourselves, Esther.
- 1220
- 01:13:34,958 --> 01:13:37,165
- We can't go on being afraid.
- 1221
- 01:13:37,250 --> 01:13:41,368
- I know, love, but we've all
- got to be careful, though.
- 1222
- 01:15:01,583 --> 01:15:04,040
- John! John bagguley?
- 1223
- 01:15:05,167 --> 01:15:06,031
- Aye?
- 1224
- 01:15:06,125 --> 01:15:07,831
- It's an honour to meet you, sir.
- 1225
- 01:15:08,667 --> 01:15:10,203
- Your reputation precedes you.
- 1226
- 01:15:12,167 --> 01:15:14,374
- They say you're a great orator.
- 1227
- 01:15:14,458 --> 01:15:15,538
- Do they?
- 1228
- 01:15:15,625 --> 01:15:20,073
- Your message is strong
- and clear... and true.
- 1229
- 01:15:23,542 --> 01:15:25,498
- You're not from
- around these parts, are you?
- 1230
- 01:15:26,458 --> 01:15:29,291
- I'm a radical, John -
- just like yourself.
- 1231
- 01:15:31,583 --> 01:15:33,790
- - Greetings, friend.
- - Greetings.
- 1232
- 01:15:36,583 --> 01:15:38,448
- May I ask you a question, John?
- 1233
- 01:15:40,542 --> 01:15:42,533
- Are you as angry as I am?
- 1234
- 01:15:44,625 --> 01:15:46,081
- I am angry.
- 1235
- 01:15:46,167 --> 01:15:48,408
- But are you angry enough?
- 1236
- 01:15:51,792 --> 01:15:54,329
- People need to see
- how angry we are, John.
- 1237
- 01:15:56,333 --> 01:15:58,494
- Rise up.
- 1238
- 01:15:58,583 --> 01:16:00,323
- Fight!
- 1239
- 01:16:01,167 --> 01:16:04,000
- Violence... hatred...
- 1240
- 01:16:04,917 --> 01:16:06,453
- Destruction.
- 1241
- 01:16:06,542 --> 01:16:08,203
- We are prepared.
- 1242
- 01:16:08,917 --> 01:16:10,453
- We have arms ready.
- 1243
- 01:16:10,542 --> 01:16:12,123
- Then use 'em.
- 1244
- 01:16:15,208 --> 01:16:17,415
- When the time is right...
- 1245
- 01:16:18,375 --> 01:16:19,956
- We will.
- 1246
- 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:22,831
- The time is now, John.
- 1247
- 01:16:28,833 --> 01:16:30,494
- Until next time.
- 1248
- 01:16:31,542 --> 01:16:32,873
- Call me Oliver.
- 1249
- 01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:18,493
- Bagguley: Friends...
- Thank you for being here today.
- 1250
- 01:17:19,583 --> 01:17:22,325
- But let me state
- this meeting will be short,
- 1251
- 01:17:22,417 --> 01:17:24,908
- as the suspension of
- habeas corpus is upon us.
- 1252
- 01:17:27,208 --> 01:17:29,824
- This is not the end.
- 1253
- 01:17:29,917 --> 01:17:32,124
- No, this is only the beginning.
- 1254
- 01:17:32,208 --> 01:17:34,620
- Audience: Aye.
- 1255
- 01:17:34,708 --> 01:17:37,074
- But permit me to say...
- 1256
- 01:17:37,167 --> 01:17:40,580
- That when the power...
- Of any government...
- 1257
- 01:17:40,667 --> 01:17:44,615
- Is in the hands of
- an agreed number of persons,
- 1258
- 01:17:44,708 --> 01:17:46,369
- whose interest together
- 1259
- 01:17:46,458 --> 01:17:48,039
- with the interest
- of the government
- 1260
- 01:17:48,125 --> 01:17:51,572
- are different and distinct
- to that of the people...
- 1261
- 01:17:52,333 --> 01:17:54,665
- Well, so then such is the case,
- 1262
- 01:17:54,750 --> 01:17:58,322
- the speedy destruction
- of our nation is inevitable.
- 1263
- 01:17:58,417 --> 01:18:00,999
- Hear, hear! Hear, hear.
- 1264
- 01:18:02,708 --> 01:18:04,573
- Thank you for your time.
- 1265
- 01:18:05,792 --> 01:18:09,705
- Thank you. My friend, Samuel
- drummond, will now speak.
- 1266
- 01:18:11,083 --> 01:18:13,415
- Thank you, mr John bagguley.
- 1267
- 01:18:13,500 --> 01:18:17,539
- Friends, I will only speak
- very briefly today.
- 1268
- 01:18:17,625 --> 01:18:19,661
- The time for speaking is over.
- 1269
- 01:18:19,750 --> 01:18:22,412
- Now...
- Now is the time for action.
- 1270
- 01:18:24,333 --> 01:18:27,325
- Our chief intention
- is to restore to you
- 1271
- 01:18:27,417 --> 01:18:30,329
- your long lost Liberty
- by you arming yourselves,
- 1272
- 01:18:30,417 --> 01:18:32,123
- and being strong and resolute
- 1273
- 01:18:32,208 --> 01:18:35,245
- and ready to win back your
- ancient rights for yourselves.
- 1274
- 01:18:35,333 --> 01:18:37,039
- - Aye.
- - Hear, hear!
- 1275
- 01:18:37,125 --> 01:18:39,537
- Now is the time for action! Now.
- 1276
- 01:18:39,625 --> 01:18:41,957
- Not tomorrow, not next week.
- 1277
- 01:18:42,042 --> 01:18:43,907
- Now! Audience: Hear, hear!
- 1278
- 01:18:44,708 --> 01:18:46,039
- For my part,
- 1279
- 01:18:51,042 --> 01:18:53,704
- If the whole host of hell
- come against me,
- 1280
- 01:18:53,792 --> 01:18:55,373
- I will not stir an inch,
- 1281
- 01:18:55,458 --> 01:18:58,120
- because I know
- our cause is true and just,
- 1282
- 01:18:58,208 --> 01:19:01,280
- and the lord himself shines
- his heavenly light upon us.
- 1283
- 01:19:01,375 --> 01:19:02,865
- Hear, hear!
- 1284
- 01:19:02,958 --> 01:19:05,574
- Get all armed!
- 1285
- 01:19:05,667 --> 01:19:08,830
- Give me my Liberty,
- or let me die.
- 1286
- 01:19:09,625 --> 01:19:11,411
- Liberty or death!
- 1287
- 01:19:11,500 --> 01:19:13,491
- All: Liberty or death!
- 1288
- 01:19:14,125 --> 01:19:15,740
- Liberty or death!
- 1289
- 01:19:16,208 --> 01:19:17,948
- Liberty or death!
- 1290
- 01:19:18,458 --> 01:19:20,244
- Liberty or death!
- 1291
- 01:19:20,917 --> 01:19:22,532
- I thank you.
- 1292
- 01:19:26,333 --> 01:19:29,291
- My friend, John johnston,
- will now say a few words.
- 1293
- 01:19:42,333 --> 01:19:44,039
- Fellow countrymen...
- 1294
- 01:19:47,167 --> 01:19:51,240
- The time has come
- to rise from your lethargy.
- 1295
- 01:19:51,333 --> 01:19:52,789
- - Aye.
- - Yes.
- 1296
- 01:19:52,875 --> 01:19:55,742
- No longer will our blood,
- sweat and toil
- 1297
- 01:19:55,833 --> 01:19:58,575
- line the pockets of
- the avaricious aristocracy
- 1298
- 01:19:58,667 --> 01:20:00,282
- and the landowners.
- 1299
- 01:20:00,375 --> 01:20:05,540
- No longer will the curdled
- screams of starving children
- 1300
- 01:20:05,625 --> 01:20:09,573
- echo through the streets of
- Manchester and beyond.
- 1301
- 01:20:10,458 --> 01:20:13,655
- Our French brethren
- have shown us the way.
- 1302
- 01:20:15,458 --> 01:20:19,576
- We must punish our mad king
- and his gluttonous offspring
- 1303
- 01:20:19,667 --> 01:20:21,828
- by taking off their heads!
- 1304
- 01:20:21,917 --> 01:20:23,748
- - Oh, yes!
- - Yes!
- 1305
- 01:20:24,667 --> 01:20:28,114
- I declare to that god
- that gave me being,
- 1306
- 01:20:28,208 --> 01:20:30,119
- that superintends my actions,
- 1307
- 01:20:30,208 --> 01:20:32,039
- that one day,
- I must give an answer
- 1308
- 01:20:32,125 --> 01:20:33,740
- for all that I do on this earth,
- 1309
- 01:20:33,833 --> 01:20:38,031
- that whenever... whenever
- it lies within my power,
- 1310
- 01:20:38,125 --> 01:20:40,491
- - I will strike them down!
- - Aye!
- 1311
- 01:20:40,583 --> 01:20:42,665
- And, if I cannot effect it,
- 1312
- 01:20:42,750 --> 01:20:45,537
- I hope the women
- of this great nation
- 1313
- 01:20:45,625 --> 01:20:47,957
- will tear them
- limb from bleeding limb
- 1314
- 01:20:48,042 --> 01:20:50,784
- like the maenads
- on mount cithaeron!
- 1315
- 01:20:50,875 --> 01:20:53,491
- - Yes!
- - Arm yourselves!
- 1316
- 01:20:53,583 --> 01:20:55,915
- Bring pistols, guns,
- swords and pikes,
- 1317
- 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,491
- and if you cannot
- attain these weapons,
- 1318
- 01:20:58,583 --> 01:21:01,655
- bring yourself
- a pair of tongs and a poker,
- 1319
- 01:21:01,750 --> 01:21:03,581
- hot from the fire!
- 1320
- 01:21:03,667 --> 01:21:05,532
- Be ready, lads,
- 1321
- 01:21:05,625 --> 01:21:07,035
- and true to yourselves!
- 1322
- 01:21:07,125 --> 01:21:10,037
- Give me Liberty,
- or give me death!
- 1323
- 01:21:10,125 --> 01:21:12,662
- Liberty or death!
- 1324
- 01:21:12,750 --> 01:21:14,741
- Liberty or death!
- 1325
- 01:21:14,833 --> 01:21:16,869
- Liberty or death!
- 1326
- 01:21:16,958 --> 01:21:18,789
- Liberty or death!
- 1327
- 01:21:18,875 --> 01:21:21,036
- Let's go.
- 1328
- 01:21:37,292 --> 01:21:39,203
- You bastard!
- Let go of me, you bastard!
- 1329
- 01:21:39,292 --> 01:21:42,159
- - I shall never be defeated!
- - You will not silence us!
- 1330
- 01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:44,457
- - We will never relent.
- - Hey, you bastard!
- 1331
- 01:21:44,542 --> 01:21:47,659
- We will never give up
- the fight for Liberty!
- 1332
- 01:21:47,750 --> 01:21:50,036
- Liberty or death!
- 1333
- 01:21:50,875 --> 01:21:52,911
- Liberty or death!
- 1334
- 01:21:53,917 --> 01:21:57,739
- You cannot confine us to these
- receptacles of the damned!
- 1335
- 01:21:58,708 --> 01:22:00,369
- Get in. Get in!
- 1336
- 01:22:02,917 --> 01:22:05,989
- I'm going to smash your teeth
- down your throat!
- 1337
- 01:22:07,167 --> 01:22:09,658
- Get in! Get in!
- 1338
- 01:22:09,750 --> 01:22:12,082
- No! No!
- 1339
- 01:22:12,833 --> 01:22:15,495
- Johnston:
- Get off me, you bastard!
- 1340
- 01:22:15,583 --> 01:22:17,824
- Get off! Oww!
- 1341
- 01:22:18,708 --> 01:22:20,664
- Get off me!
- 1342
- 01:22:24,208 --> 01:22:28,531
- Jesus Christ himself
- was the greatest ever reformer!
- 1343
- 01:22:29,500 --> 01:22:31,536
- You will not silence our cause.
- 1344
- 01:22:45,583 --> 01:22:47,744
- Help!
- 1345
- 01:22:58,083 --> 01:23:02,406
- Left, right. Left, right.
- 1346
- 01:23:05,833 --> 01:23:07,698
- Stand still!
- 1347
- 01:23:09,083 --> 01:23:10,539
- About face, gentlemen!
- 1348
- 01:23:14,250 --> 01:23:15,990
- Dressings!
- 1349
- 01:23:18,417 --> 01:23:20,248
- Quick march!
- 1350
- 01:23:20,333 --> 01:23:22,324
- Listen to the drum.
- 1351
- 01:23:25,583 --> 01:23:27,289
- Swing your arms.
- 1352
- 01:23:27,375 --> 01:23:29,161
- By the right.
- 1353
- 01:23:30,750 --> 01:23:33,617
- Move to the right! Right face!
- 1354
- 01:23:36,458 --> 01:23:37,868
- Pick up your dressings!
- 1355
- 01:23:37,958 --> 01:23:39,573
- Right, then left.
- 1356
- 01:23:46,500 --> 01:23:48,616
- Keep dressing from the right!
- 1357
- 01:23:49,917 --> 01:23:51,532
- Swing those arms!
- 1358
- 01:23:54,042 --> 01:23:56,249
- Pick up your dressings,
- gentlemen!
- 1359
- 01:23:56,333 --> 01:23:58,369
- Let's have a bit of pride!
- 1360
- 01:24:18,708 --> 01:24:19,914
- Mr hunt?
- 1361
- 01:24:21,083 --> 01:24:23,415
- Joseph Johnson
- of the Manchester observer.
- 1362
- 01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:25,456
- Ah, mr Johnson.
- 1363
- 01:24:25,542 --> 01:24:28,579
- Er... this is mr knight,
- mr saxton and mrs saxton,
- 1364
- 01:24:28,667 --> 01:24:31,374
- the secretary of the Manchester
- female reform society.
- 1365
- 01:24:31,458 --> 01:24:32,914
- - Good evening, mr hunt.
- - Madam.
- 1366
- 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,365
- - Welcome.
- - How kind.
- 1367
- 01:24:34,458 --> 01:24:35,664
- - Good day sir.
- - Mr hunt.
- 1368
- 01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:37,331
- Gentlemen. At last.
- 1369
- 01:24:37,417 --> 01:24:40,284
- We should like to thank you
- for enduring your long journey.
- 1370
- 01:24:40,375 --> 01:24:41,535
- Welcome to Manchester.
- 1371
- 01:24:41,625 --> 01:24:44,082
- I shall indeed look forward
- to a good night's repose
- 1372
- 01:24:44,167 --> 01:24:46,658
- in anticipation of
- tomorrow's exertions.
- 1373
- 01:24:47,583 --> 01:24:49,790
- Mr hunt, I regret to inform you
- that the meeting
- 1374
- 01:24:49,875 --> 01:24:51,581
- will no longer
- take place tomorrow.
- 1375
- 01:24:51,667 --> 01:24:53,578
- It has been postponed, mr hunt,
- 1376
- 01:24:53,667 --> 01:24:55,908
- until tomorrow week, the 16th.
- 1377
- 01:24:56,708 --> 01:24:57,788
- For what reason, pray?
- 1378
- 01:24:57,875 --> 01:25:00,116
- Due to circumstances
- beyond our control.
- 1379
- 01:25:00,208 --> 01:25:01,698
- What circumstances?
- 1380
- 01:25:01,792 --> 01:25:03,953
- Our intention was that
- the meeting should consider
- 1381
- 01:25:04,042 --> 01:25:05,873
- the propriety of
- electing a so-called
- 1382
- 01:25:05,958 --> 01:25:08,324
- parliamentary representative
- for this district.
- 1383
- 01:25:08,417 --> 01:25:10,874
- Mr Johnson, did I not
- stipulate that my attendance
- 1384
- 01:25:10,958 --> 01:25:12,698
- here in Manchester
- was conditional
- 1385
- 01:25:12,792 --> 01:25:15,659
- upon there being no mention
- of any such illegal election?
- 1386
- 01:25:15,750 --> 01:25:17,832
- We were not planning
- to hold an election, sir,
- 1387
- 01:25:17,917 --> 01:25:20,249
- merely to discuss
- the possibility of an election.
- 1388
- 01:25:20,333 --> 01:25:22,790
- Aye. The magistrates
- misunderstood our intentions.
- 1389
- 01:25:22,875 --> 01:25:25,582
- Because it was a foolish
- proposition in the first place.
- 1390
- 01:25:25,667 --> 01:25:27,498
- Mr hunt, as you very well know,
- 1391
- 01:25:27,583 --> 01:25:30,040
- Manchester has no
- parliamentary representation.
- 1392
- 01:25:30,125 --> 01:25:32,958
- - We do not. It's a scandal.
- - Time is pressing.
- 1393
- 01:25:33,042 --> 01:25:35,078
- You, of all people, know that.
- 1394
- 01:25:35,167 --> 01:25:37,909
- Yes, mr saxton, I am well aware
- that time is pressing.
- 1395
- 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,618
- That is why I cannot spend one
- week of my life in Manchester.
- 1396
- 01:25:41,708 --> 01:25:44,415
- But thousands of people
- are eager to hear you speak.
- 1397
- 01:25:44,500 --> 01:25:46,912
- Then I shall leave it to you
- to explain my absence.
- 1398
- 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,117
- Sir, there will be a great
- outcry if you do not appear.
- 1399
- 01:25:50,208 --> 01:25:52,324
- - It will be carnage.
- - Only your presence
- 1400
- 01:25:52,417 --> 01:25:54,533
- can promote tranquillity
- and good order.
- 1401
- 01:25:54,625 --> 01:25:56,786
- Sir, please let us conduct you
- to your hotel.
- 1402
- 01:26:03,125 --> 01:26:04,615
- That is out of the question.
- 1403
- 01:26:05,375 --> 01:26:07,081
- With my name,
- any longer than one night
- 1404
- 01:26:07,167 --> 01:26:08,657
- in any hotel in this land,
- 1405
- 01:26:08,750 --> 01:26:10,786
- and the place will be
- swarming with spies.
- 1406
- 01:26:10,875 --> 01:26:13,912
- Then we must find
- more secluded accommodation.
- 1407
- 01:26:23,667 --> 01:26:25,623
- This is where I reside, mr hunt.
- 1408
- 01:26:35,375 --> 01:26:37,081
- I eave it there.
- 1409
- 01:26:41,292 --> 01:26:42,292
- Mr hunt?
- 1410
- 01:26:47,333 --> 01:26:48,413
- Good evening, madam.
- 1411
- 01:26:48,500 --> 01:26:50,616
- This is my dear wife,
- mrs Johnson.
- 1412
- 01:26:50,708 --> 01:26:52,244
- Mr Henry hunt.
- 1413
- 01:26:52,333 --> 01:26:54,870
- Mr Johnson, if I could perhaps
- be shown to my rooms?
- 1414
- 01:26:54,958 --> 01:26:57,995
- Indeed.
- Sarah, show mr hunt upstairs.
- 1415
- 01:27:00,083 --> 01:27:01,539
- Oh. Erm...
- 1416
- 01:27:03,042 --> 01:27:04,452
- This way, mr hunt.
- 1417
- 01:27:08,708 --> 01:27:10,726
- If you would provide me
- with some writing materials?
- 1418
- 01:27:10,750 --> 01:27:12,581
- - Very well.
- - And my trunk.
- 1419
- 01:27:15,375 --> 01:27:18,412
- Mrs Johnson, if you could
- bring me a light repast?
- 1420
- 01:27:18,500 --> 01:27:20,491
- What's that?
- 1421
- 01:27:31,458 --> 01:27:33,164
- - I thank you, sir John.
- - A pleasure.
- 1422
- 01:27:33,250 --> 01:27:35,457
- Always good to see you, guy.
- Now, to be clear,
- 1423
- 01:27:35,542 --> 01:27:37,703
- I myself may not be present
- at this little gathering.
- 1424
- 01:27:37,792 --> 01:27:38,832
- Indeed, I understand that.
- 1425
- 01:27:38,917 --> 01:27:40,828
- I have other matters
- to attend to,
- 1426
- 01:27:40,917 --> 01:27:42,828
- but I have every confidence
- in you, old boy.
- 1427
- 01:27:42,917 --> 01:27:44,309
- I shall endeavour
- to do my best, sir.
- 1428
- 01:27:44,333 --> 01:27:46,119
- Stout fellow. Your horse.
- 1429
- 01:28:31,583 --> 01:28:32,914
- Aye, aye.
- 1430
- 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,581
- Ah, good morning, Joseph.
- 1431
- 01:28:34,667 --> 01:28:35,952
- Go on.
- 1432
- 01:28:36,042 --> 01:28:36,952
- No.
- 1433
- 01:28:37,042 --> 01:28:39,374
- - Are they not ready yet?
- - No.
- 1434
- 01:28:39,458 --> 01:28:41,369
- Not while this afternoon,
- you said.
- 1435
- 01:28:41,458 --> 01:28:43,540
- - Right.
- - Give us a look.
- 1436
- 01:28:44,083 --> 01:28:46,039
- That one in't done yet.
- 1437
- 01:28:46,792 --> 01:28:48,453
- It's grand.
- 1438
- 01:28:51,708 --> 01:28:53,164
- Good.
- 1439
- 01:28:59,083 --> 01:29:02,450
- We are in a state of
- painful uncertainty, sir John.
- 1440
- 01:29:02,542 --> 01:29:03,952
- - We are.
- - No doubt.
- 1441
- 01:29:04,042 --> 01:29:07,614
- And we feel comforted
- and assured by your presence,
- 1442
- 01:29:07,708 --> 01:29:10,575
- your prowess in dealing
- with civil disorder,
- 1443
- 01:29:10,667 --> 01:29:13,158
- and in the knowledge
- that we are in your safe hands.
- 1444
- 01:29:13,250 --> 01:29:14,865
- - Hear, hear.
- - Indeed.
- 1445
- 01:29:14,958 --> 01:29:16,698
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- 1446
- 01:29:16,792 --> 01:29:19,534
- However, at this stage, I would
- urge you to show caution,
- 1447
- 01:29:19,625 --> 01:29:21,832
- and to abstain from
- any precipitous acts.
- 1448
- 01:29:21,917 --> 01:29:23,782
- General,
- with the greatest of respect,
- 1449
- 01:29:23,875 --> 01:29:25,160
- the time for caution is over.
- 1450
- 01:29:25,250 --> 01:29:28,037
- Sir, I am of the opinion
- that the presence alone
- 1451
- 01:29:28,125 --> 01:29:30,958
- of the civil and military force
- that we have in readiness
- 1452
- 01:29:31,042 --> 01:29:33,829
- is sufficient to deter
- any conceivable sedition.
- 1453
- 01:29:33,917 --> 01:29:35,782
- You're speaking of insurrection.
- 1454
- 01:29:35,875 --> 01:29:39,743
- Indeed. Moreover we cannot
- allow these radicals
- 1455
- 01:29:39,833 --> 01:29:41,994
- to follow the example
- of their French brethren
- 1456
- 01:29:42,083 --> 01:29:43,163
- on the 16th of August.
- 1457
- 01:29:43,250 --> 01:29:47,573
- Mr Norris, the general's
- very attendance upon the day
- 1458
- 01:29:47,667 --> 01:29:51,330
- will ensure that no such
- catastrophe can possibly occur.
- 1459
- 01:29:52,625 --> 01:29:56,288
- Gentlemen, regarding
- my attendance upon the day.
- 1460
- 01:29:56,375 --> 01:29:59,993
- My attention may be called
- to other quarters,
- 1461
- 01:30:00,083 --> 01:30:02,074
- and I do not find myself
- in a position
- 1462
- 01:30:02,167 --> 01:30:04,624
- wherein I can guarantee
- my presence.
- 1463
- 01:30:07,542 --> 01:30:09,248
- Am I to understand
- that you will have
- 1464
- 01:30:09,333 --> 01:30:11,289
- more pressing business elsewhere?
- 1465
- 01:30:11,375 --> 01:30:13,582
- There is a distinct possibility.
- 1466
- 01:30:13,667 --> 01:30:15,453
- But, I have
- the utmost confidence
- 1467
- 01:30:15,542 --> 01:30:17,783
- in my second in command,
- colonel I'estrange.
- 1468
- 01:30:17,875 --> 01:30:19,240
- He is a fine soldier.
- 1469
- 01:30:20,125 --> 01:30:21,331
- I see.
- 1470
- 01:30:21,417 --> 01:30:22,827
- L'estrange.
- 1471
- 01:30:22,917 --> 01:30:24,703
- Indeed, sir.
- 1472
- 01:30:53,333 --> 01:30:56,575
- Mr tuke, is this to take up
- much more of my time?
- 1473
- 01:30:56,667 --> 01:30:58,032
- No, mr hunt.
- 1474
- 01:30:58,125 --> 01:31:00,992
- The stiller you sit,
- the sooner we'll be done.
- 1475
- 01:31:05,292 --> 01:31:07,123
- Arm down, please.
- 1476
- 01:31:08,458 --> 01:31:10,289
- Am I permitted to use
- my right arm?
- 1477
- 01:31:10,375 --> 01:31:13,162
- You may use your right arm as
- long as it does not impede
- 1478
- 01:31:13,250 --> 01:31:15,741
- on our progress
- with your left arm.
- 1479
- 01:31:21,875 --> 01:31:24,287
- May I enquire as to the nature
- of your speech, mr hunt?
- 1480
- 01:31:26,375 --> 01:31:28,991
- It concerns
- the inalienable civil liberties
- 1481
- 01:31:29,083 --> 01:31:31,665
- - of all free men.
- - Does it, now?
- 1482
- 01:31:35,125 --> 01:31:37,332
- My wife expresses
- something of an interest
- 1483
- 01:31:37,417 --> 01:31:39,703
- in attending your gathering
- on Monday.
- 1484
- 01:31:41,042 --> 01:31:42,498
- Will you not be attending
- with her?
- 1485
- 01:31:42,583 --> 01:31:45,871
- No. I'm not one
- for too much talk.
- 1486
- 01:31:52,292 --> 01:31:53,953
- Mr hunt, please.
- 1487
- 01:31:54,042 --> 01:31:55,998
- Miss?
- 1488
- 01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:57,923
- Would you be so kind
- as to hold down my papers?
- 1489
- 01:31:59,500 --> 01:32:01,616
- Hold down t'papers?
- 1490
- 01:32:02,458 --> 01:32:04,244
- Top left corner.
- 1491
- 01:32:15,958 --> 01:32:18,370
- Me 'ands are dirty.
- 1492
- 01:32:19,208 --> 01:32:20,948
- That's no matter. These are...
- 1493
- 01:32:21,042 --> 01:32:22,578
- Notes for myself alone.
- 1494
- 01:32:27,542 --> 01:32:29,658
- Will I be in t'picture?
- 1495
- 01:32:31,833 --> 01:32:34,666
- Nay, lass,
- thou'll't not be in t'picture.
- 1496
- 01:32:37,625 --> 01:32:40,162
- Bessie! Leave t'gentleman alone!
- 1497
- 01:32:40,250 --> 01:32:43,322
- The young lady is providing me
- with assistance, mrs Johnson.
- 1498
- 01:32:43,417 --> 01:32:45,874
- Oh, I beg pardon, mr hunt.
- 1499
- 01:33:03,958 --> 01:33:06,324
- Hunt:
- Understand this, I care not.
- 1500
- 01:33:06,417 --> 01:33:09,534
- I will not be paraded like
- some beast in a menagerie.
- 1501
- 01:33:14,458 --> 01:33:15,914
- Can I not get thee a drink, Sam?
- 1502
- 01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,332
- No, thank you, my dear.
- 1503
- 01:33:20,708 --> 01:33:21,788
- Who is that?
- 1504
- 01:33:23,292 --> 01:33:24,828
- It's mr hunt.
- 1505
- 01:33:24,917 --> 01:33:27,203
- Oh, yes.
- 1506
- 01:33:29,667 --> 01:33:30,667
- Sam.
- 1507
- 01:33:31,333 --> 01:33:34,370
- May I ask what thee would like
- to speak to mr hunt regarding?
- 1508
- 01:33:34,458 --> 01:33:37,325
- What I would like to speak
- to mr hunt regarding, Joe...
- 1509
- 01:33:37,417 --> 01:33:39,157
- I would like to speak
- to mr hunt regarding.
- 1510
- 01:33:39,250 --> 01:33:41,957
- Aye.
- Well, it would appear mr hunt
- 1511
- 01:33:42,042 --> 01:33:44,408
- is otherwise occupied
- at present.
- 1512
- 01:33:45,083 --> 01:33:49,497
- Oh. Well, we all have matters
- that need attending to, Joe.
- 1513
- 01:33:49,583 --> 01:33:51,995
- And I'm sure mr hunt
- can spare a few moments
- 1514
- 01:33:52,083 --> 01:33:54,165
- to speak to a fellow reformer.
- 1515
- 01:34:00,792 --> 01:34:02,874
- - Mr bamford.
- - Mr hunt.
- 1516
- 01:34:02,958 --> 01:34:05,239
- What is it of such import that
- it cannot wait till Monday?
- 1517
- 01:34:05,833 --> 01:34:08,791
- How are you going on
- at our end o' t'country, sir?
- 1518
- 01:34:08,875 --> 01:34:11,708
- Sadly, I have been immured
- within these four walls
- 1519
- 01:34:11,792 --> 01:34:13,783
- this past week.
- 1520
- 01:34:13,875 --> 01:34:15,661
- Though I am grateful to
- the kind hospitality
- 1521
- 01:34:15,750 --> 01:34:18,082
- - of these good people.
- - Aye, I'm glad to hear it.
- 1522
- 01:34:18,917 --> 01:34:20,908
- They are indeed good people.
- 1523
- 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,288
- Now, speaking o' meeting
- a-Monday,
- 1524
- 01:34:24,375 --> 01:34:28,288
- we've been drilling t'lads in
- ranks for nigh on a month now,
- 1525
- 01:34:28,375 --> 01:34:30,866
- and we have a thousand men
- moving together
- 1526
- 01:34:30,958 --> 01:34:32,664
- as if it were a mere score, sir.
- 1527
- 01:34:32,750 --> 01:34:34,866
- I am heartened to hear it,
- mr bamford.
- 1528
- 01:34:34,958 --> 01:34:36,994
- I am told that we are
- to anticipate a mighty crowd.
- 1529
- 01:34:37,083 --> 01:34:38,448
- Aye.
- 1530
- 01:34:38,542 --> 01:34:41,454
- Aye, we are that, sir.
- And we shall do thee proud.
- 1531
- 01:34:41,542 --> 01:34:44,079
- Now, we have been
- instilling into t'lads
- 1532
- 01:34:44,167 --> 01:34:47,910
- the principles of cleanliness,
- sobriety, order,
- 1533
- 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,582
- and also t'notion of peace,
- which I believe
- 1534
- 01:34:50,667 --> 01:34:52,908
- were your own personal addage
- to t'list, sir,
- 1535
- 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,490
- and one which I respect greatly.
- 1536
- 01:34:55,375 --> 01:34:59,072
- Now, these ideas have been
- taken to heart by all t'lads
- 1537
- 01:34:59,167 --> 01:35:01,909
- and have been carried well
- throughout all t'ranks, sir.
- 1538
- 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,707
- I look forward to seeing it
- with mine own eyes, mr bamford.
- 1539
- 01:35:04,792 --> 01:35:05,998
- I'm sure they'll do you proud.
- 1540
- 01:35:06,750 --> 01:35:08,741
- Now, on that subject, sir...
- 1541
- 01:35:10,333 --> 01:35:12,790
- Would it not be prudent of us
- 1542
- 01:35:12,875 --> 01:35:15,833
- to have
- a small contingent of men -
- 1543
- 01:35:15,917 --> 01:35:20,081
- say a score or two
- amongst a thousand -
- 1544
- 01:35:21,250 --> 01:35:24,037
- armed with cudgels
- just to protect...
- 1545
- 01:35:24,125 --> 01:35:25,990
- Mr Johnson, will you show
- mr bamford the door?
- 1546
- 01:35:26,083 --> 01:35:29,280
- Mr hunt, I have come here
- to speak man to man
- 1547
- 01:35:29,375 --> 01:35:30,706
- about an important matter.
- 1548
- 01:35:30,792 --> 01:35:34,535
- Then let me speak to you
- man to man, mr bamford.
- 1549
- 01:35:34,625 --> 01:35:38,288
- If any man is armed with
- so much as a stone on Monday,
- 1550
- 01:35:38,375 --> 01:35:40,991
- there will be no meeting
- at which I will speak.
- 1551
- 01:35:41,875 --> 01:35:44,912
- There are a large body of men
- signed up at Manchester.
- 1552
- 01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,116
- And women and children.
- 1553
- 01:35:47,875 --> 01:35:49,957
- And it is them
- that I seek to protect.
- 1554
- 01:35:50,042 --> 01:35:53,990
- I am speaking of tmanchester
- and salford yeomanry, sir.
- 1555
- 01:35:54,083 --> 01:35:56,369
- A large body of men are signed up,
- 1556
- 01:35:56,458 --> 01:35:58,949
- and weapons have been widely
- distributed amongst them.
- 1557
- 01:35:59,042 --> 01:36:01,033
- And it is precisely
- for that reason
- 1558
- 01:36:01,125 --> 01:36:02,865
- that we must give them
- no provocation.
- 1559
- 01:36:02,958 --> 01:36:05,040
- But these are men
- who are not only
- 1560
- 01:36:05,125 --> 01:36:07,241
- politically averse
- to our cause, sir,
- 1561
- 01:36:07,333 --> 01:36:09,244
- but also personally
- averse to us.
- 1562
- 01:36:09,333 --> 01:36:11,415
- - Mr bamford...
- - Are we to lead our young'uns
- 1563
- 01:36:11,500 --> 01:36:13,491
- and our wives
- and our sweethearts
- 1564
- 01:36:13,583 --> 01:36:15,323
- into the mouth of such a threat,
- 1565
- 01:36:15,417 --> 01:36:16,827
- wi'out means of defending them?
- 1566
- 01:36:16,917 --> 01:36:19,624
- Mr bamford,
- I understand your fears.
- 1567
- 01:36:20,958 --> 01:36:22,949
- But you have not been
- to a mass meeting
- 1568
- 01:36:23,042 --> 01:36:25,328
- as this promises to be. I have.
- 1569
- 01:36:25,417 --> 01:36:27,533
- I have spoken
- at meetings in London
- 1570
- 01:36:27,625 --> 01:36:30,241
- of over one hundred
- thousand people,
- 1571
- 01:36:30,333 --> 01:36:31,698
- and at those meetings
- 1572
- 01:36:31,792 --> 01:36:35,705
- not one blade of grass,
- not a gust of wind,
- 1573
- 01:36:35,792 --> 01:36:38,864
- has been the recipient
- of a single act of violence.
- 1574
- 01:36:38,958 --> 01:36:41,665
- Had they been, the authorities
- would have taken it
- 1575
- 01:36:41,750 --> 01:36:44,332
- as permission to break up
- not only the meeting,
- 1576
- 01:36:44,417 --> 01:36:46,282
- but the entire movement.
- 1577
- 01:36:46,375 --> 01:36:49,538
- I will not have my reputation
- and name,
- 1578
- 01:36:49,625 --> 01:36:51,707
- and the virtues which I espouse,
- 1579
- 01:36:51,792 --> 01:36:55,080
- besmirched for the behaviour
- of a single group of men...
- 1580
- 01:36:55,167 --> 01:36:57,078
- But this is lancashire, sir,
- 1581
- 01:36:57,167 --> 01:36:58,953
- and the authorities here
- have no regard
- 1582
- 01:36:59,042 --> 01:37:01,454
- for thy reputation
- or anybody else's.
- 1583
- 01:37:01,542 --> 01:37:04,079
- And meetings of this nature,
- hereabouts,
- 1584
- 01:37:04,167 --> 01:37:05,748
- invariably end in violence.
- 1585
- 01:37:05,833 --> 01:37:08,040
- That is because they have not
- been addressed by me.
- 1586
- 01:37:09,875 --> 01:37:11,706
- Dost thy have children
- of thine own, sir?
- 1587
- 01:37:11,792 --> 01:37:13,157
- I do, sir.
- 1588
- 01:37:14,083 --> 01:37:15,994
- And would thee lead thy children
- 1589
- 01:37:16,083 --> 01:37:18,244
- into danger such as this?
- 1590
- 01:37:18,333 --> 01:37:21,200
- I would gladly lead my children
- by the hand,
- 1591
- 01:37:21,292 --> 01:37:23,203
- with a song in my heart,
- 1592
- 01:37:23,292 --> 01:37:25,908
- to any meeting
- chaired by Henry hunt.
- 1593
- 01:37:28,875 --> 01:37:33,073
- Uh-huh. Well, I am
- hardly satisfied by that.
- 1594
- 01:37:34,542 --> 01:37:39,036
- But as this is a committee
- decision not to bear arms,
- 1595
- 01:37:39,125 --> 01:37:42,538
- then I suppose I am
- duty bound to carry it.
- 1596
- 01:37:43,917 --> 01:37:46,124
- But I shall pray to god
- 1597
- 01:37:46,208 --> 01:37:48,449
- that he might afford
- some protection
- 1598
- 01:37:48,542 --> 01:37:50,407
- to our vulnerable folk.
- 1599
- 01:37:56,208 --> 01:37:58,415
- I shall see thee a-Monday, sir,
- 1600
- 01:37:58,500 --> 01:38:00,115
- and let us hope it is a day...
- 1601
- 01:38:00,208 --> 01:38:01,823
- We need not look back on
- with regret.
- 1602
- 01:38:01,917 --> 01:38:03,782
- Let us hope that, both.
- 1603
- 01:38:03,875 --> 01:38:05,740
- Aye.
- 1604
- 01:38:05,833 --> 01:38:07,494
- Good day.
- 1605
- 01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:09,448
- Joseph.
- 1606
- 01:38:09,542 --> 01:38:11,328
- Mrs Johnson.
- 1607
- 01:38:13,625 --> 01:38:16,162
- I do apologise, mr hunt.
- 1608
- 01:38:16,250 --> 01:38:19,242
- I want him watched
- from now until Monday.
- 1609
- 01:38:20,042 --> 01:38:22,624
- There will be no violence.
- 1610
- 01:38:22,708 --> 01:38:24,448
- I shall see to it.
- 1611
- 01:38:24,542 --> 01:38:27,204
- There are to be no weapons.
- Rest assured.
- 1612
- 01:38:33,292 --> 01:38:34,828
- Let us continue our supper.
- 1613
- 01:38:35,375 --> 01:38:37,616
- Oh, it will have gone cold,
- mr hunt.
- 1614
- 01:38:37,708 --> 01:38:39,744
- It's no matter, mrs Johnson.
- 1615
- 01:38:44,292 --> 01:38:45,559
- Gentlemen, I hope
- you may permit me
- 1616
- 01:38:45,583 --> 01:38:47,414
- to dispense with the formalities.
- 1617
- 01:38:47,500 --> 01:38:50,697
- We neither need nor desire
- introductions, mr hunt.
- 1618
- 01:38:50,792 --> 01:38:52,874
- Indeed not.
- 1619
- 01:38:52,958 --> 01:38:55,040
- Well, then, let me ask plainly.
- 1620
- 01:38:55,125 --> 01:38:58,788
- Is there, as I've been led
- to believe that there is,
- 1621
- 01:38:58,875 --> 01:39:00,866
- a charge against my name?
- 1622
- 01:39:01,583 --> 01:39:05,997
- I suggest you may be a victim
- of false information, mr hunt.
- 1623
- 01:39:06,083 --> 01:39:08,165
- There is presently
- no such charge.
- 1624
- 01:39:10,250 --> 01:39:12,206
- There is no such charge
- at present?
- 1625
- 01:39:12,292 --> 01:39:13,953
- - No, sir.
- - Would that there were,
- 1626
- 01:39:14,042 --> 01:39:15,748
- mr hunt.
- 1627
- 01:39:16,583 --> 01:39:18,198
- Well, sir, should there be,
- 1628
- 01:39:18,292 --> 01:39:22,661
- let me avow that I would
- freely and without hesitation,
- 1629
- 01:39:22,750 --> 01:39:24,957
- offer myself up for arrest.
- 1630
- 01:39:27,083 --> 01:39:29,369
- I seek no subterfuge
- here in Manchester.
- 1631
- 01:39:30,917 --> 01:39:32,578
- Good evening, gentlemen.
- 1632
- 01:39:34,625 --> 01:39:36,832
- You remain at Liberty, mr hunt,
- 1633
- 01:39:37,792 --> 01:39:39,748
- but I might remind you
- 1634
- 01:39:42,583 --> 01:39:45,199
- of his majesty's government
- and military force.
- 1635
- 01:39:45,750 --> 01:39:47,911
- As I, sir, retain the support
- of the people.
- 1636
- 01:39:49,333 --> 01:39:52,120
- You, sir, are a blaggard!
- 1637
- 01:40:01,750 --> 01:40:03,035
- Buffoon.
- 1638
- 01:40:03,917 --> 01:40:06,283
- He should be clapped in irons.
- 1639
- 01:40:06,375 --> 01:40:08,240
- It takes but a matter of moments
- 1640
- 01:40:08,333 --> 01:40:10,745
- to inscribe a man's name on a warrant.
- 1641
- 01:40:20,208 --> 01:40:23,120
- - Good evening.
- Man: Good evening, madam, sir.
- 1642
- 01:40:23,208 --> 01:40:24,869
- I am seeking mr Henry hunt.
- 1643
- 01:40:24,958 --> 01:40:27,540
- I was told he would be
- at this address at this hour.
- 1644
- 01:40:27,625 --> 01:40:29,035
- And you are?
- 1645
- 01:40:29,125 --> 01:40:31,832
- Richard carlile of sherwin's
- political register, London.
- 1646
- 01:40:31,917 --> 01:40:34,533
- Mr carlile! Joseph Johnson
- of the Manchester observer.
- 1647
- 01:40:34,625 --> 01:40:36,536
- Mr Johnson.
- 1648
- 01:40:36,625 --> 01:40:38,286
- - Oh, do come in.
- - Thank you.
- 1649
- 01:40:40,250 --> 01:40:42,491
- - Ah, Henry!
- - Richard.
- 1650
- 01:40:42,583 --> 01:40:44,699
- What do you here in Manchester?
- 1651
- 01:40:44,792 --> 01:40:46,157
- Why, I... I am here to attend
- 1652
- 01:40:46,250 --> 01:40:48,411
- tomorrow's great assembly,
- naturally.
- 1653
- 01:40:48,500 --> 01:40:50,741
- But at whose invitation?
- 1654
- 01:40:50,833 --> 01:40:53,620
- Why, that of mr wroe and...
- And mr knight
- 1655
- 01:40:53,708 --> 01:40:55,869
- of the Manchester observer.
- 1656
- 01:40:56,583 --> 01:40:58,539
- And why was I
- not informed of this?
- 1657
- 01:40:58,625 --> 01:41:00,206
- Well, I...
- 1658
- 01:41:00,958 --> 01:41:04,405
- I have prepared some words
- to address the multitude.
- 1659
- 01:41:06,333 --> 01:41:07,914
- Richard, I'm afraid
- we have agreed
- 1660
- 01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:09,490
- that the number
- of speakers tomorrow
- 1661
- 01:41:09,583 --> 01:41:11,289
- will be kept to a minimum.
- 1662
- 01:41:12,500 --> 01:41:15,822
- Henry, I have brought with me
- one hundred impressions
- 1663
- 01:41:15,917 --> 01:41:18,408
- of your exemplary
- Smithfield speech
- 1664
- 01:41:18,500 --> 01:41:22,118
- on civil and universal Liberty,
- to distribute tomorrow.
- 1665
- 01:41:23,500 --> 01:41:25,957
- This was last month. I do not
- intend to repeat myself.
- 1666
- 01:41:26,042 --> 01:41:28,499
- The people of these parts
- must know
- 1667
- 01:41:28,583 --> 01:41:30,574
- that reform
- is not merely a matter
- 1668
- 01:41:30,667 --> 01:41:32,783
- of achieving universal suffrage,
- 1669
- 01:41:32,875 --> 01:41:35,241
- but... but of freedom from
- the tyranny of the church
- 1670
- 01:41:35,333 --> 01:41:37,244
- and of the destruction
- of monarchy.
- 1671
- 01:41:37,333 --> 01:41:38,698
- Richard, in Manchester,
- 1672
- 01:41:38,792 --> 01:41:40,874
- universal suffrage
- is the sole message.
- 1673
- 01:41:40,958 --> 01:41:42,414
- That alone.
- 1674
- 01:41:43,750 --> 01:41:45,741
- I thank you for your pains.
- 1675
- 01:41:48,333 --> 01:41:51,700
- Henry, what consideration
- have you given
- 1676
- 01:41:51,792 --> 01:41:54,249
- to the possibility of violence
- tomorrow?
- 1677
- 01:41:54,333 --> 01:41:55,448
- I fear it greatly.
- 1678
- 01:41:55,542 --> 01:41:58,284
- Richard, firstly you advise me
- how to speak.
- 1679
- 01:41:58,375 --> 01:42:00,411
- Now you advise me how to behave.
- 1680
- 01:42:00,500 --> 01:42:04,448
- I feel your interventions are
- both excessive and unnecessary.
- 1681
- 01:42:11,167 --> 01:42:15,206
- Well, perhaps you will allow me
- to travel with you tomorrow?
- 1682
- 01:42:17,625 --> 01:42:19,707
- Mr Johnson, might there
- be room in the barouche?
- 1683
- 01:42:19,792 --> 01:42:22,033
- Aye, I should think so, mr hunt.
- 1684
- 01:42:23,583 --> 01:42:25,164
- Well, then, yes, you must.
- 1685
- 01:42:26,167 --> 01:42:27,907
- You'll be my guest.
- 1686
- 01:42:28,750 --> 01:42:30,706
- I thank you.
- 1687
- 01:42:30,792 --> 01:42:32,874
- Our chains are shaking, Henry.
- 1688
- 01:42:33,542 --> 01:42:35,908
- They will be broken.
- 1689
- 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,537
- I will take my leave.
- Good evening.
- 1690
- 01:42:38,625 --> 01:42:40,661
- - Good evening.
- - Good evening, sir.
- 1691
- 01:42:45,208 --> 01:42:47,128
- I must apologise for
- the continued interruptions,
- 1692
- 01:42:47,167 --> 01:42:48,907
- - mrs Johnson.
- - Oh.
- 1693
- 01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:50,285
- I can assure you, come Tuesday,
- 1694
- 01:42:50,375 --> 01:42:52,707
- your lives
- will return to normalcy.
- 1695
- 01:42:55,042 --> 01:42:56,703
- Go home, bessie.
- 1696
- 01:42:57,833 --> 01:42:59,744
- Yes, mrs Johnson.
- 1697
- 01:42:59,833 --> 01:43:01,994
- Good night, mr Johnson.
- 1698
- 01:43:23,583 --> 01:43:25,414
- - Y'a'right?
- - Aye.
- 1699
- 01:43:25,958 --> 01:43:28,870
- - The heat's knocked her out.
- - Ooh... it's too warm.
- 1700
- 01:43:28,958 --> 01:43:29,958
- Aye.
- 1701
- 01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,492
- - I'll not sleep tonight.
- - It might cool down later on.
- 1702
- 01:43:33,583 --> 01:43:34,583
- Aye.
- 1703
- 01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:39,661
- - Night.
- - Good night, love.
- 1704
- 01:43:39,750 --> 01:43:41,741
- Night, father.
- 1705
- 01:43:49,333 --> 01:43:51,449
- You a'right for tomorrow?
- 1706
- 01:43:51,542 --> 01:43:53,999
- Aye, I reckon so.
- 1707
- 01:43:58,667 --> 01:44:00,703
- It'll be a good day, mother.
- 1708
- 01:44:00,792 --> 01:44:02,999
- Aye, it will.
- 1709
- 01:44:04,583 --> 01:44:05,993
- Night.
- 1710
- 01:44:06,917 --> 01:44:08,532
- Night, love.
- 1711
- 01:44:12,250 --> 01:44:13,660
- You a'right?
- 1712
- 01:44:13,750 --> 01:44:15,286
- Aye.
- 1713
- 01:44:18,250 --> 01:44:20,081
- I ook at her.
- 1714
- 01:44:20,167 --> 01:44:22,533
- - Little angel.
- - Mmm.
- 1715
- 01:44:23,875 --> 01:44:29,495
- I were just thinking, in 1900,
- she'll be eighty five.
- 1716
- 01:44:30,542 --> 01:44:33,409
- - Will she?
- - Aye, of course she will.
- 1717
- 01:44:35,583 --> 01:44:38,165
- She'll be a great-grandma.
- 1718
- 01:44:38,250 --> 01:44:40,992
- - Wishing her life away!
- - Oh, I'm just saying.
- 1719
- 01:44:45,125 --> 01:44:47,332
- I hope it's a better world for her.
- 1720
- 01:44:48,167 --> 01:44:49,873
- Summat'll get better.
- 1721
- 01:44:49,958 --> 01:44:52,199
- Some things'll never change.
- 1722
- 01:44:53,250 --> 01:44:56,083
- They say there'll be
- a lot of folk there tomorrow,
- 1723
- 01:44:56,167 --> 01:44:58,783
- waving their flags,
- banging their drums.
- 1724
- 01:44:58,875 --> 01:45:00,911
- I hope so.
- 1725
- 01:45:04,458 --> 01:45:06,494
- Good night, mother.
- 1726
- 01:45:06,583 --> 01:45:08,073
- Night, father.
- 1727
- 01:46:03,208 --> 01:46:05,574
- Right, we've got five lads
- in t'front row...
- 1728
- 01:46:05,667 --> 01:46:08,739
- Woman: Absolutely right.
- Right, women in rows of five!
- 1729
- 01:46:09,750 --> 01:46:11,991
- Come on, you girls!
- 1730
- 01:46:12,083 --> 01:46:14,665
- Rows of five.
- Sort yourselves out.
- 1731
- 01:46:14,750 --> 01:46:17,116
- - Now, then...
- - Right.
- 1732
- 01:46:19,292 --> 01:46:22,204
- Who's got t'banner here?
- That end. That's it, lads.
- 1733
- 01:46:22,875 --> 01:46:24,661
- You lads at t'end there.
- 1734
- 01:46:25,792 --> 01:46:27,202
- Hey, now.
- 1735
- 01:46:28,208 --> 01:46:30,665
- Keep in rank and file right, lads.
- 1736
- 01:46:30,750 --> 01:46:32,911
- Keep to the right.
- 1737
- 01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,116
- - Mary.
- - Right, let's have a look.
- 1738
- 01:46:45,333 --> 01:46:46,869
- Now, then.
- 1739
- 01:46:47,833 --> 01:46:49,994
- The meeting we are going to today...
- 1740
- 01:46:50,667 --> 01:46:53,704
- Is t'biggest
- and t'most important meeting
- 1741
- 01:46:53,792 --> 01:46:55,908
- about parliamentary reform
- we've ever had.
- 1742
- 01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:59,707
- So, lads, stay in your ranks!
- 1743
- 01:46:59,792 --> 01:47:05,241
- The more calmness
- and sensibility we show now,
- 1744
- 01:47:06,083 --> 01:47:09,450
- the more we make liars
- of our enemies,
- 1745
- 01:47:09,542 --> 01:47:11,032
- who have represented us
- 1746
- 01:47:11,125 --> 01:47:14,288
- as a mob and a rabble
- these past few years.
- 1747
- 01:47:14,375 --> 01:47:17,617
- And let's shame them
- with our good conduct.
- 1748
- 01:47:19,292 --> 01:47:21,624
- Now, what we are
- going to town for today,
- 1749
- 01:47:21,708 --> 01:47:23,744
- we're not going to beg
- or plead...
- 1750
- 01:47:24,458 --> 01:47:28,201
- Because what we want,
- it's not theirs to give!
- 1751
- 01:47:29,792 --> 01:47:33,455
- It were given to us by god,
- on t'day of our birth,
- 1752
- 01:47:33,542 --> 01:47:35,157
- as honest englishmen.
- 1753
- 01:47:35,250 --> 01:47:37,457
- And with that in mind,
- 1754
- 01:47:37,542 --> 01:47:40,454
- no weapons must be allowed
- on t'march
- 1755
- 01:47:40,542 --> 01:47:41,998
- as agreed by t'committee.
- 1756
- 01:47:42,083 --> 01:47:45,450
- So come on, lads, drop
- the sticks, drop your clubs.
- 1757
- 01:47:46,667 --> 01:47:48,828
- Drop your knives
- and your cudgels.
- 1758
- 01:47:48,917 --> 01:47:51,124
- There's no need
- for violence here.
- 1759
- 01:47:52,417 --> 01:47:53,953
- That's it, boys.
- 1760
- 01:47:56,875 --> 01:47:58,786
- Now, then.
- 1761
- 01:47:58,875 --> 01:48:03,164
- First stop, will be Sam ogden's
- taphouse in harpurhey...
- 1762
- 01:48:05,333 --> 01:48:08,245
- And then on to Manchester...
- 1763
- 01:48:10,292 --> 01:48:11,702
- And Liberty!
- 1764
- 01:48:13,583 --> 01:48:15,619
- Left foot forward, lads!
- 1765
- 01:48:15,708 --> 01:48:17,118
- I eft!
- 1766
- 01:48:17,208 --> 01:48:18,539

- I eft!
- 1769
- 01:48:49,583 --> 01:48:51,323
- Come on - get on with it.
- 1770
- 01:48:55,542 --> 01:48:57,783
- Get a move on.
- There's stones all over here.
- 1771
- 01:48:57,875 --> 01:49:00,412
- Get 'em on the back
- of this cart, and quick!
- 1772
- 01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:39,536
- Scum.
- 1773
- 01:49:40,500 --> 01:49:43,412
- - That's what they are. Scum.
- - Aye, they are that, sir.
- 1774
- 01:49:43,500 --> 01:49:46,867
- I put food on their table
- and this is how they repay me.
- 1775
- 01:49:46,958 --> 01:49:48,744
- They've got no right, sir.
- 1776
- 01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,615
- - Are we all ready?
- - Aye, Nellie.
- 1777
- 01:50:03,708 --> 01:50:04,868
- Aye.
- 1778
- 01:50:04,958 --> 01:50:06,573
- Reet, come on!
- 1779
- 01:50:06,667 --> 01:50:07,827
- Aye.
- 1780
- 01:50:09,250 --> 01:50:11,457
- - Morning, Eli!
- - Morning, Nellie.
- 1781
- 01:50:15,125 --> 01:50:17,036
- Mary: Looking forward to it?
- Sarah: Yes.
- 1782
- 01:50:17,125 --> 01:50:18,661
- - All right, lad?
- - Aye.
- 1783
- 01:50:20,458 --> 01:50:22,198
- Morning.
- 1784
- 01:50:45,208 --> 01:50:48,530
- - Liberty or death.
- - Annual parliaments!
- 1785
- 01:50:48,625 --> 01:50:50,411
- No taxation without
- representation!
- 1786
- 01:50:50,500 --> 01:50:52,331
- Vote by ballot!
- 1787
- 01:50:52,417 --> 01:50:54,954
- - No corn laws!
- - Universal suffrage!
- 1788
- 01:50:55,042 --> 01:50:57,749
- - Get back to your husbands!
- - Shame!
- 1789
- 01:50:57,833 --> 01:50:59,994
- Whores! Harlots!
- 1790
- 01:51:00,083 --> 01:51:02,825
- Hussies! Go home to your babies!
- 1791
- 01:51:02,917 --> 01:51:06,990
- - It'll achieve nowt.
- - Friends, unite and be free!
- 1792
- 01:51:16,417 --> 01:51:18,908
- Gentlemen, for king and country!
- 1793
- 01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,322
- - Aye, sir. King and country.
- All: King and country!
- 1794
- 01:51:23,958 --> 01:51:26,074
- To king and country!
- 1795
- 01:51:26,167 --> 01:51:28,374
- All: To king and country!
- 1796
- 01:51:29,708 --> 01:51:33,621
- - And again!
- - To king and country!
- 1797
- 01:51:36,250 --> 01:51:39,617
- All: To king and country!
- 1798
- 01:51:44,875 --> 01:51:46,411
- Give them a bit of justice!
- 1799
- 01:51:46,500 --> 01:51:48,582
- Liberty!
- 1800
- 01:52:00,083 --> 01:52:01,539
- Man: Liberty!
- 1801
- 01:52:09,708 --> 01:52:11,244
- Liberty!
- 1802
- 01:52:33,708 --> 01:52:35,699
- You wait till you get
- to the field.
- 1803
- 01:52:54,208 --> 01:52:55,493
- Mr Norris, how do you do?
- 1804
- 01:52:56,417 --> 01:52:58,373
- - Look at them.
- - It is without precedent.
- 1805
- 01:52:58,458 --> 01:53:00,323
- Is the room in readiness?
- 1806
- 01:53:00,417 --> 01:53:02,533
- - Aye, it is.
- - Very good.
- 1807
- 01:53:04,208 --> 01:53:06,950
- I sent my man here earlier
- with some wine. Is it...
- 1808
- 01:53:07,042 --> 01:53:09,408
- - Aye, sir, it's over there.
- - Excellent.
- 1809
- 01:53:09,500 --> 01:53:11,411
- - Could I have a word?
- - Of course.
- 1810
- 01:53:12,625 --> 01:53:14,957
- I don't know what's going
- to happen this afternoon.
- 1811
- 01:53:26,792 --> 01:53:31,491
- Mr buxton, would you
- kindly remove that... sheet?
- 1812
- 01:53:31,583 --> 01:53:32,823
- Certainly, sir.
- 1813
- 01:53:32,917 --> 01:53:34,873
- Gentlemen,
- should you need refreshment,
- 1814
- 01:53:34,958 --> 01:53:36,448
- we have some fine claret here,
- 1815
- 01:53:36,542 --> 01:53:38,203
- if you wish to avail yourselves.
- 1816
- 01:53:42,083 --> 01:53:45,575
- Gentlemen, I wish you well
- with your business today.
- 1817
- 01:53:46,333 --> 01:53:49,040
- If nature calls,
- there's a pot in t'corner.
- 1818
- 01:53:49,125 --> 01:53:51,787
- - Good day, sir.
- - Thank you, very much.
- 1819
- 01:54:04,917 --> 01:54:06,373
- What's going on now?
- 1820
- 01:54:06,458 --> 01:54:08,824
- I don't know.
- We're just waiting.
- 1821
- 01:54:08,917 --> 01:54:10,018
- How long have you
- been waiting for?
- 1822
- 01:54:10,042 --> 01:54:12,033
- Ah, not long.
- 1823
- 01:54:12,125 --> 01:54:14,411
- - Have you come far?
- - Chadderton.
- 1824
- 01:54:14,500 --> 01:54:16,866
- - That's oldham way, in't it?
- Both: Aye.
- 1825
- 01:54:16,958 --> 01:54:19,040
- - That's a fair way.
- - Aye, it is.
- 1826
- 01:54:19,125 --> 01:54:20,456
- Too far.
- 1827
- 01:54:20,542 --> 01:54:23,033
- Father, what are you doing now?
- 1828
- 01:54:23,125 --> 01:54:24,615
- Where you going?
- 1829
- 01:54:24,708 --> 01:54:26,915
- - Has he had enough?
- - He's got to walk back yet.
- 1830
- 01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,412
- - How far is it?
- - Nine mile.
- 1831
- 01:54:30,833 --> 01:54:33,074
- - See thee.
- - Aye, see thee.
- 1832
- 01:54:34,792 --> 01:54:36,202
- Colonel Fletcher,
- 1833
- 01:54:36,292 --> 01:54:38,624
- just where are the Manchester
- and salford yeomanry?
- 1834
- 01:54:38,708 --> 01:54:41,040
- They stand hard by
- in Portland street.
- 1835
- 01:54:41,125 --> 01:54:42,365
- They await my orders.
- 1836
- 01:54:42,458 --> 01:54:44,699
- Fletcher: We should
- summon them immediately.
- 1837
- 01:54:44,792 --> 01:54:46,748
- Once the crowd see them,
- they shall disperse.
- 1838
- 01:54:46,833 --> 01:54:49,199
- In my view, that would be
- the wrong course of action.
- 1839
- 01:54:49,292 --> 01:54:51,328
- We should arrest hunt
- before he arrives.
- 1840
- 01:54:51,417 --> 01:54:54,329
- Send in the troops
- and spirit him away somewhere.
- 1841
- 01:54:54,417 --> 01:54:56,703
- These people are in a good mood.
- 1842
- 01:54:56,792 --> 01:54:58,623
- The men have brought their wives
- 1843
- 01:54:58,708 --> 01:55:00,198
- and their children with them.
- 1844
- 01:55:00,292 --> 01:55:02,749
- In the presence of women,
- men behave better.
- 1845
- 01:55:02,833 --> 01:55:06,530
- Men, women, wives, children,
- I care not!
- 1846
- 01:55:06,625 --> 01:55:08,536
- We are their moral superiors.
- 1847
- 01:55:08,625 --> 01:55:10,911
- It is our Christian duty
- 1848
- 01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:13,332
- to bring the axe down
- on this riotous mob!
- 1849
- 01:55:13,417 --> 01:55:14,702
- Well said, sir! Well said!
- 1850
- 01:55:14,792 --> 01:55:17,033
- They are not mere animals,
- Mallory.
- 1851
- 01:55:17,125 --> 01:55:19,741
- They are honest, gullible folk.
- 1852
- 01:55:19,833 --> 01:55:21,414
- I agree with mr warmley.
- 1853
- 01:55:21,500 --> 01:55:23,365
- Arrest hunt
- before he arrives in the field.
- 1854
- 01:55:23,458 --> 01:55:25,574
- You silence the man today
- 1855
- 01:55:25,667 --> 01:55:27,328
- and he'll be rousing
- another rabble
- 1856
- 01:55:27,417 --> 01:55:29,453
- - before the fortnight's out!
- - Absolutely!
- 1857
- 01:55:29,542 --> 01:55:32,249
- We must give him
- just sufficient rope
- 1858
- 01:55:32,333 --> 01:55:34,244
- for him to hang himself.
- 1859
- 01:55:34,333 --> 01:55:35,948
- We are in charge, gentlemen,
- 1860
- 01:55:36,042 --> 01:55:38,579
- and we must be seen
- to be in charge, and not hunt.
- 1861
- 01:55:38,667 --> 01:55:41,283
- - Hear, hear!
- - I am not disputing that, sir.
- 1862
- 01:55:41,375 --> 01:55:44,617
- If 1 might advise you,
- from a legal standpoint,
- 1863
- 01:55:44,708 --> 01:55:48,451
- it is essential that the true
- character of that assembly
- 1864
- 01:55:48,542 --> 01:55:51,124
- be allowed to reveal itself.
- 1865
- 01:55:51,208 --> 01:55:54,041
- "One man, one vote"!
- "Parliamentary representation"!
- 1866
- 01:55:54,125 --> 01:55:55,240
- Outrageous.
- 1867
- 01:55:55,333 --> 01:55:57,824
- - Preposterous propositions!
- - Sedition!
- 1868
- 01:55:57,917 --> 01:55:59,748
- We must allow hunt to speak,
- 1869
- 01:55:59,833 --> 01:56:02,165
- so that he be seen
- to be inciting
- 1870
- 01:56:02,250 --> 01:56:05,208
- a gullible mass of people
- to riot.
- 1871
- 01:56:05,292 --> 01:56:08,614
- Then we may act
- with promptitude and vigour.
- 1872
- 01:56:08,708 --> 01:56:12,030
- We must read the riot act
- and we must do so immediately.
- 1873
- 01:56:12,125 --> 01:56:13,240
- I second that!
- 1874
- 01:56:13,333 --> 01:56:15,289
- Prepare ourselves legally
- to clear the field.
- 1875
- 01:56:15,375 --> 01:56:17,957
- I have the riot act here,
- 1876
- 01:56:18,042 --> 01:56:20,499
- and they shall hear my voice
- 1877
- 01:56:20,583 --> 01:56:23,905
- and there shall be one fold
- and one Shepherd!
- 1878
- 01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:26,833
- We find you in glad spirits.
- 1879
- 01:56:27,458 --> 01:56:29,744
- We shall maintain our spirits.
- 1880
- 01:56:41,750 --> 01:56:44,366
- Primarily our function
- is to observe.
- 1881
- 01:56:45,333 --> 01:56:47,198
- Secondly, we must expedite
- 1882
- 01:56:47,292 --> 01:56:49,999
- the express directives
- of the home office,
- 1883
- 01:56:50,083 --> 01:56:52,825
- which are namely to allow
- the meeting to take place...
- 1884
- 01:56:52,917 --> 01:56:55,499
- It is an illegal meeting!
- 1885
- 01:56:55,583 --> 01:56:58,700
- - But, is it?
- - It is not illegal, gentlemen.
- 1886
- 01:56:59,500 --> 01:57:01,491
- We must let hunt speak
- 1887
- 01:57:01,583 --> 01:57:03,164
- and then only seek to intervene
- 1888
- 01:57:03,250 --> 01:57:05,366
- should the crowd
- then move to riot.
- 1889
- 01:57:05,458 --> 01:57:07,574
- So is there a level
- of bloodletting
- 1890
- 01:57:07,667 --> 01:57:09,623
- which you find acceptable,
- mr Norris?
- 1891
- 01:57:09,708 --> 01:57:14,327
- Gentlemen, may I remind you
- that today is not the sabbath.
- 1892
- 01:57:14,417 --> 01:57:17,375
- It is a Monday,
- and Monday is a working day
- 1893
- 01:57:17,458 --> 01:57:20,245
- and these idlers and sluggards
- should be at their toil.
- 1894
- 01:57:20,333 --> 01:57:22,039
- Aye, and what are
- they up to instead?
- 1895
- 01:57:22,125 --> 01:57:25,743
- The gates of hell are open
- night and day.
- 1896
- 01:57:25,833 --> 01:57:28,870
- Smooth the descent
- and easy is the way.
- 1897
- 01:57:28,958 --> 01:57:30,744
- Have you any idea
- 1898
- 01:57:30,833 --> 01:57:33,040
- how the introduction
- of the mechanical loom
- 1899
- 01:57:33,125 --> 01:57:34,956
- has changed the life
- of this town?
- 1900
- 01:57:35,042 --> 01:57:37,454
- - I have, sir.
- - Then why not stay silent?
- 1901
- 01:57:37,542 --> 01:57:39,533
- Then why not join the mob, sir?
- 1902
- 01:57:39,625 --> 01:57:43,789
- - The mechanical loom...
- - All this is prevarication!
- 1903
- 01:57:43,875 --> 01:57:45,786
- Mr hunt!
- 1904
- 01:57:49,042 --> 01:57:50,498
- Mr hunt!
- 1905
- 01:57:50,583 --> 01:57:52,119
- John tyas, the London times.
- 1906
- 01:57:52,208 --> 01:57:54,039
- Oe r tyas?
- 1907
- 01:57:54,125 --> 01:57:56,662
- I wonder if you might admit me
- onto the hustings.
- 1908
- 01:57:56,750 --> 01:57:59,332
- For what purpose? To spread
- more of your falsehoods?
- 1909
- 01:57:59,417 --> 01:58:01,078
- Not at all, sir.
- 1910
- 01:58:02,792 --> 01:58:05,750
- - Keep close.
- - Much obliged, mr hunt.
- 1911
- 01:58:07,042 --> 01:58:09,374
- Gentlemen.
- 1912
- 01:58:18,208 --> 01:58:21,120
- Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Gentlemen!
- 1913
- 01:58:22,708 --> 01:58:27,122
- Gentlemen, you have
- many strong... opinions.
- 1914
- 01:58:27,917 --> 01:58:30,624
- But if I may,
- speaking as the chairman
- 1915
- 01:58:30,708 --> 01:58:33,825
- for this special committee
- of magistrates...
- 1916
- 01:58:34,458 --> 01:58:36,323
- Beg pardon, mr hulton.
- 1917
- 01:58:37,125 --> 01:58:40,037
- - Did you say the chairman?
- - Indeed I did, sir.
- 1918
- 01:58:40,125 --> 01:58:42,125
- - But you're not the chairman.
- - I am the chairman.
- 1919
- 01:58:42,208 --> 01:58:44,199
- I am the chairman.
- 1920
- 01:58:44,292 --> 01:58:45,657
- You are mistaken, sir.
- 1921
- 01:58:46,542 --> 01:58:47,782
- I am to take the chair.
- 1922
- 01:58:48,333 --> 01:58:49,698
- Upon whose authority?
- 1923
- 01:58:49,792 --> 01:58:53,455
- Upon the authority, sir, of the
- I ord lieutenant of lancashire.
- 1924
- 01:58:53,542 --> 01:58:56,079
- - Give way, sir!
- - Mr Norris, sir, stand down!
- 1925
- 01:58:56,167 --> 01:58:57,748
- - Stand down!
- - Ltis settled.
- 1926
- 01:58:57,833 --> 01:58:59,698
- May we proceed?
- 1927
- 01:59:01,500 --> 01:59:04,082
- I suppose you may, mr hulton.
- 1928
- 01:59:11,250 --> 01:59:12,956
- Move back!
- 1929
- 01:59:14,375 --> 01:59:17,242
- Move back! Move back!
- 1930
- 01:59:17,333 --> 01:59:19,324
- Back! Back!
- 1931
- 01:59:19,417 --> 01:59:21,282
- Move them back!
- 1932
- 01:59:43,458 --> 01:59:45,119
- Oh.
- 1933
- 02:00:10,542 --> 02:00:12,453
- Get back!
- 1934
- 02:00:27,333 --> 02:00:29,665
- Universal suffrage!
- 1935
- 02:00:30,708 --> 02:00:32,869
- Votes by ballot!
- 1936
- 02:00:51,708 --> 02:00:53,323
- The white hat, there. Look.
- 1937
- 02:00:54,625 --> 02:00:57,697
- - That's him, sir.
- - And the women.
- 1938
- 02:00:59,875 --> 02:01:02,457
- - Votes by ballot!
- - Can you see?
- 1939
- 02:01:02,542 --> 02:01:04,783
- Give them a wave!
- Give them a wave!
- 1940
- 02:01:04,875 --> 02:01:07,241
- Unite and be free!
- 1941
- 02:01:08,125 --> 02:01:10,161

- the largest assemblage
- ever seen in Manchester!
- 1973
- 02:04:20,458 --> 02:04:23,245
- Alas, with the wind as it is,
- it might have been better
- 1974
- 02:04:23,333 --> 02:04:26,245
- had the hustings been
- positioned in the far corner.
- 1975
- 02:04:26,333 --> 02:04:29,530
- I was given assurance that this
- was the best position, mr hunt.
- 1976
- 02:04:30,417 --> 02:04:32,248
- It is no matter.

- 2044
- 02:07:46,375 --> 02:07:47,911

- for it has been a long,
- long journey to this place.
- 2051
- 02:08:13,500 --> 02:08:17,994
- And what you have to say, sir,
- I have heard many a time afore.
- 2052
- 02:08:18,917 --> 02:08:19,997
- Many a time.

- Hey, mr bamford,
- do not leave us!
- 2054
- 02:08:22,167 --> 02:08:24,249
- Aye, lads, well done

- 2055
- 02:08:24,333 --> 02:08:25,948
- - It is a great shame, Samuel.
- - Sam.
- 2056
- 02:08:26,042 --> 02:08:28,909
- - Sam! Samuel!
- - Mr bamford?
- 2057
- 02:08:29,875 --> 02:08:32,662
- - He's getting down.
- - He's got a right cob on.
- 2058
- 02:08:32,750 --> 02:08:35,116
- Wait, please.
- 2059
- 02:08:37,500 --> 02:08:39,456
- Mr Johnson, might we commence?
- 2060
- 02:08:40,292 --> 02:08:42,123
- Aye. If you are ready, mr hunt.
- 2061
- 02:08:42,208 --> 02:08:43,698
- Good man.
- 2062
- 02:08:43,792 --> 02:08:45,202
- Have courage.
- 2063
- 02:08:45,292 --> 02:08:47,032
- Breathe from the bottom
- of your lungs
- 2064
- 02:08:47,125 --> 02:08:49,616
- and speak at
- the top of your voice.
- 2065
- 02:08:53,875 --> 02:08:55,285
- Fellow citizens...
- 2066
- 02:09:00,917 --> 02:09:03,124
- Iter... it is with great honour
- 2067
- 02:09:03,208 --> 02:09:07,326
- that I should like to propose
- mr Henry hunt esquire
- 2068
- 02:09:07,417 --> 02:09:08,782
- as our chairman.
- 2069
- 02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:17,412
- Let's see what he has to say,
- eh?
- 2070
- 02:09:17,500 --> 02:09:19,661
- Let's see what he has to say!
- 2071
- 02:09:22,458 --> 02:09:24,164
- Go on, Henry!
- 2072
- 02:10:05,417 --> 02:10:07,373
- Gentlemen...
- 2073
- 02:10:08,583 --> 02:10:10,995
- Friends, all.
- 2074
- 02:10:12,917 --> 02:10:15,283
- The riot act, mr ethelston.
- 2075
- 02:10:15,375 --> 02:10:16,865
- I shall bear you witness.
- 2076
- 02:10:16,958 --> 02:10:19,119
- "Our sovereign lord, the king...
- 2077
- 02:10:20,333 --> 02:10:22,289
- Chargeth and commandeth
- all person..."
- 2078
- 02:10:24,417 --> 02:10:26,703
- It would be hardly worthwhile...
- 2079
- 02:10:28,500 --> 02:10:30,616
- "To depart to their habitations,
- 2080
- 02:10:30,708 --> 02:10:31,948
- or to their lawful business..."
- 2081
- 02:10:32,042 --> 02:10:34,283
- Given the magnificent volume
- of people
- 2082
- 02:10:34,375 --> 02:10:36,036
- so peaceably assembled
- here today...
- 2083
- 02:10:36,125 --> 02:10:38,411
- "Upon the pains
- contained in the act
- 2084
- 02:10:38,500 --> 02:10:41,367
- made in the first year
- of king George
- 2085
- 02:10:41,458 --> 02:10:45,576
- for preventing tumults
- and riotous assemblies."
- 2086
- 02:10:45,667 --> 02:10:48,204
- Both: God save the king!
- 2087
- 02:10:48,292 --> 02:10:50,078
- All: God save the king!
- 2088
- 02:10:50,167 --> 02:10:53,455
- That is for the yeomanry,
- this is for colonel I'estrange.
- 2089
- 02:10:53,542 --> 02:10:55,658
- Somebody summon my man.
- 2090
- 02:10:57,375 --> 02:10:59,015
- Mandley!
- 2091
- 02:10:59,083 --> 02:11:00,323
- - Yes, sir?
- - Mandley.
- 2092
- 02:11:00,417 --> 02:11:02,408
- - Dispatches.
- - Be ready.
- 2093
- 02:11:02,500 --> 02:11:03,740
- Mandley.
- 2094
- 02:11:03,833 --> 02:11:05,073
- Time is of the essence.
- 2095
- 02:11:08,417 --> 02:11:10,282
- Well, stop fiddling, man, hurry!
- 2096
- 02:11:11,042 --> 02:11:14,205
- - The warrant, sir!
- - Mr hulton, the warrant!
- 2097
- 02:11:14,292 --> 02:11:17,250
- Yes, gentlemen, I am well aware!
- 2098
- 02:11:17,333 --> 02:11:19,039
- - Henry hunt.
- - John knight.
- 2099
- 02:11:19,125 --> 02:11:20,285
- Johnson.
- 2100
- 02:11:20,375 --> 02:11:22,457
- Hulton, whatever actions
- we take here today
- 2101
- 02:11:22,542 --> 02:11:24,703
- will have serious repercussions

- their labour."
