Morning has broken, clear skies in OUR capital, and all systems go at Parliament Square ๐ฌ๐ง
We have 7 huge screens all the way up from Parliament Square, up Whitehall to Trafalgar Square.
London belongs to us.
The future belongs to patriots.
See you all soon ๐ฌ๐ง
Everyone knows Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb. ๐ก
Everyone is wrong.
His name was Joseph Swan.
Born in Pallion, Sunderland. Son of a failed entrepreneur. No university. No laboratory. No backing.
Just a chemist's apprentice in his home town who couldn't stop thinking about light.
He worked on it for twenty years. Along the way he invented bromide photographic paper. Artificial fibre, the process that led to rayon. Over seventy patents.
And still nobody had made a lightbulb that worked.
Then on the 18th of December 1878, in a lecture hall in Newcastle, he switched it on.
It burned bright. Then it broke.
But the idea was proven. โก
Six weeks later, 3rd February 1879, he demonstrated it again.
This time it worked.
Seven hundred people watched the room light up.
Eight months before Thomas Edison.
Edison heard about it. Filed a patent. Then sued Swan in America.
The US Patent Office found against Edison. โ
Edison sued Swan in Britain.
The British courts found against Edison again. โ โ
As part of the settlement, Edison was forced into a partnership with Swan.
The company was called Ediswan.
Swan's patents. Swan's filament design.
Edison's name first.
Eventually Edison bought him out.
Swan was knighted in 1904. The Savoy Theatre, the first building in the world lit entirely by electricity, used his bulbs.
Edison got the credit.
Swan got a knighthood nobody remembers.
And history forgot Sunderland. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
