Just a regular guy trying to build a self reliant life, if the state would just leave me alone.
In 1763, the British government arrested 49 people for being connected to a newspaper article. π¬π§πΊπΈ
The article criticised the King.
They didn't name a single suspect.
They just issued a warrant: Arrest everyone. Printers. Publishers. Anyone who touched it.
Dragged from their homes. Thrown in cells. Most of them had nothing to do with it.
The man they actually wanted was John Wilkes. MP. Journalist. By all accounts the ugliest man in England. But nobody could shut him up.
They locked him in the Tower of London.
He sued the government. And won.
The court declared general warrants illegal. Never again could the government arrest unnamed people for unnamed crimes. That's because of him.
So Parliament expelled him.
The voters of Middlesex elected him again. Parliament expelled him again. The voters elected him again. A third time. Parliament threw him out a third time.
Then they gave his seat to the man who LOST the election.
"Wilkes and Liberty!" echoed across London. And across the Atlantic β American colonists named streets and towns after him.
He still wasn't done. In 1771, it was illegal to report what MPs said in Parliament. The debates were secret. So Wilkes set a trap. He encouraged printers to publish the debates. Parliament tried to arrest them. The printers appeared before Wilkes....
Who was now a City magistrate.
He set them free. Then arrested Parliament's messenger instead.
Parliament backed down. The press has reported on Parliament ever since.
One man gave us: freedom of the press. Protection from arbitrary arrest. The right of voters to choose their MP.
The end of secret government...?
His memorial reads: "A Friend of Liberty." πΊπΈ He earned it.
One man gave you the right to know what your government does.
Englishmen, remember who you are....

Fiat mining all done.
Popped into the allotment on the way home to pick up some over wintered Oregano to fullfil some orders. Also cut up and split one of the esthablised plants.
And then grabbed some comfrey to cut up and replant to grow on.
Another successful day ππ»

Found a cool little website and youtube channel about #UK and #british history.
Not entirely sold on the "never taught this in school" argument. I certinly was. And as a history buff and an avid reader as a young man i know i learned a lot of this.
I can definitely recommend looking into the history of Friendly Societies..
Some times looking to the past can shine a light forward to the future.

That's the jobs done for today.
Had to pospone the server build. The micro pc was from an office and i cant see a way to boot from USB in the bio.
But with only a 250GB ssd in there swapping it out for a 500GB one seems a decent upgrade as well as a problem solution.
Snack and movie time now i think π€
Enjoy your evening yall ππ»ππ»π¬

In the mean time, I'll need to sort the floor out.

#uk #brits #chilli #germination #saturday #growing #permaculture #food #sovereignThus was a nice bit of chill out time last night.
It's a chronically under used channel, and we could do with more content like this on nostr.
Let's get skilled craftsmen orange pilled.
Anyhoo, my evening is sorted...

Why is it always the eastern Europeans that make some sense...
Its almost like they have some experience in these things.
Dont get me wrong, we aren't voting our way out of this. Get prepared for what cominh, so you're in a position to take advantage on the other side..
