The Luddites were right by the way. They were violently suppressed by the military, working on behalf of the factory owners. Chartists and other activists took up the fight of Luddism to win us back worker rights. George, just have a read of this mate: tomhumberstone.com/luddites

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

My latest science comic just dropped! A collaboration between me, @target-amr.bsky.social @ksbakes.bsky.social and Prof. Paul Flowers. Very cool bringing the story of antimicrobial resistance to life, with an interesting detour to Victorian epidemiology and the story of Cholera hunter John Snow!
