James Holland aged 17 hanged in Bolton, Lancashire in 1786 for croft breaking ( stealing cloth whilst it eas pegged out in fields to bleach). Cried for his mam on the scaffold. 4 men hanged at Westhoughton , near Bolton, in 1812 for luddite riots that resulted in arson at a mill, government agitators in the crowd wearing certain clothing so the militia could identify them. Harsh times. Great vid
Hey I love your content, keep doing what you are doing, don’t ever give up, so I never feel the sorrow of having to give up watching your stuff, thanks, your channel is brilliant! Kind regards.
It is interesting how the term "Luddite" has come to mean a person opposed to or unable to cope with technology in general. The reality is that they were opposed to their skilled labor being replacement by technology. There are interesting parallels to the current era where computers and "robots" are replacing skilled and unskilled labor. (think of "self check-out" kiosks: Each one represents a lost worker or more!
GREG TAYLOR THE LUDDITES REPRESENTS THE CLASS OF PEOPLE, WHO MAY BE SKILLED DOING ONE THING REPEATEDLY BUT ARE UNABLE TO TO IMPROVE QUALITY OR QUANTITY OF SAID OBJECT! THE PERSON WHO WHILE DOING HIS TASKS THINKS OF BETTER METHODS OR MACHINERY TO IMPROVE HIS LOT, WILL DO SO AND DEVELOP THE NEW METHOD TO BE USED! THE TRUE LUDDITE IS SOMEONE TOO STUPID OR TOO LAZY TO UPGRADE HIS SKILLS AND CRAFT!

I’m a direct descendant of Jeremiah Brandreth. He was my 4th great grandfather. His son Timothy emigrated to the United States in 1850. As far as I know, I think all his descendants are now here in the U.S.
In the UK pit sawyers, men that sawed boards out of tree trunks by hand, fought the coming mechanical saw mills often setting them on fire In America because of more employment opportunities you really never saw this
One common misconception about the Industrial Revolution is that quality of life went down for the working classes. While conditions were terrible compared to today's, people saw their quality of life improve over the course of the era. The middle class as we know it today is largely a product of the 19th century industrial age.
Hmm, not that a common a name 'Brandreth'. I wonder if Gyles Brandreth is related to him in any way? Edit : Apparently so! "Gyles Brandreth's forebears include George R Sims (the highest-paid journalist of his day, who wrote the ballad Christmas Day in the Workhouse) and Jeremiah Brandreth (the last man in England to be beheaded for treason)."
I'm a ludite all machines annoy me you depend on them and when they break down either you wait for someone to repair it or you buy a new one, washing machine vacuum cleaner oven tumble dryer car television PC telephone they're relied on far too much.
I've come to the conclusion after watching several of these kind of videos that the people doing and watching these executions were more F'ing evil and pathological than the individuals they were executing.

Sounds like Jeremiah tried to combine a pub crawl with a rebellion. Not sure that is a winning combination.

If History is ignored or erased it may be repeated. Thanks for all the great historical videos.
So either history often ignored or nothing has been repeated.

Well those jumpers he wears are a crime against humanity!
Now in the present we're likely to lose our jobs to AI robots.
It may interest you to know that there is Ned Ludd Close in Anstey near Leicester
There is also a good pub in Nottingham called The Ned Ludd!
Because Ned Ludd (Luddnam) came from the village.
What the hell are "free children" ? What is "frets and overfrow"? Is this some kind of "Iveronics"?

A Luddite who cannot spell Luddite. How amusing. Also, try using an occasional comma or full stop.
Don't use them if you hate them
Know your place peasantry as true in the 21st century as was in any century.
How else would the royal house have stood for over 1400 years?
Right now there are 5 mile queues to see a dead monarch.. nothing will change soon.
I've come to the conclusion after watching several of these kind of videos that the people doing and watching these executions were more F'ing evil and pathological than the individuals they were executing.
I know! “Let’s go down to the village square and watch the beheading!”😱😹
😂 yeh! Such prehistoric savages.
*slows down to gawp at car accident*
We need to bring back public executions for crimes like murder and drug dealing
Have it live on TV
Oh well someone has to do the job,I believe they got paid good money ,needs to be brought back..
What were the alternatives? Watch Netflix? See a football match?
I believe under Charles we will have troubled times
Whenever this country has a Charles as King, there has been revolution, debauchery and turmoil.
The Fossil industry are Luddites !!
A cabeça faz muita falta
The Luddite ignorance and stubbornness and outright outrage are still a way of thinking today. 102822
It’s been proved the luddites were RIGHT
I not understand now Jeremiah hang throat die or axe cuted he have head?? Why They killed he??
They hanged him until he was dead, then put him on a block and cut his head off. The charge was treason, but he also murdered somebody.
This bloke was truly a man that stood up for the Working Class...He talked the talk and walked the walk!!!
He was a terrorist
IF HE HAD STUDIED THE MACHINES AND LEARNED TO DESIGN AND BUILD AND REPAIR MACHINES , THEN HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN TO THE BOTTOMS

I'm sure if Mrs Thatcher had her way union leaders would still have suffered the same punishment in the 1970's and 80's.
she would have been right I remember these days well
Good idea.
