Re: The Road to Peterloo

I've not see the recent film named Peterloo, but am told that it is very interesting historically. The name stems from the fact that the Battle of waterloo was still in my mnds of the population, and when a 'battle' took place in St Peter's Square, Manchester, it was compared to the one linked to Admiral Nelson, in mch the same way as in more recent times, the word 'gate' is used to compare it to Nixon's 'Watergate' scandal
