Tidying the boxes.
My first march in 1981 and I may have left school to go on to Wellington Rd. #Stockport #JarrowMarch
On this day in 1936, the Jarrow Crusaders arrived in London after marching 282 miles.
They were given food and shelter in tory constituencies as well as Labour. For example, in Harrogate (firmly conservative) they were fed by the Rotary Club and housed at TA #jarrowmarch
The Times reported #otd 1936 on 200 unemployed men from the north-eastern town of Jarrow marched 300 miles to London. They wanted Parliament, and the people in the south to understand the plight of the unemployed. #jarrowmarch #jarrowcrusade #OnThisDay
"What is productivity & how does it relate to you & your job? Tim Harford explains, & Cambridge University Economic Historian Victoria Bateman tells the story of what happened when unemployment in the North East of England reached 70%."

That the region that spawned me and the #JarrowMarch also gave rise to him is the one thing ever that can make me feel queasy about coming from the #North_East.
I cling to the fact that where you're from & what you become are two separate things.

On this day 86 years ago, the Jarrow March set off from Tyneside to demand action from the British government on poverty and unemployment.
#otd 1936, 200 men from Jarrow, Co. Durham set off on the #JarrowMarch (or Crusade), walking to London with a petition requesting the govt bring employment back to their town after closure of Palmer's shipyard 2 yrs earlier. Photo Illustrated London News (digitally colourised).
@saralivadeas @KipperWilliams I'm physically mature at 65 after losing my wife if it wasn't for the kids , i would have considered toping myself. But with kids 9 & 6 who have nobody else, then 1st a re-run of the #JarrowMarch
Thinking about when people did extraordinary things to highlight the impact of austerity β¦β¦. Feels like that time is coming again (unfortunately) #peoplesmarchforjobs #jarrowmarch #breakingpoint #austerity #costoflivingcrisis
Take inspiration from past generations of sacrifice and struggle on #MayDay22 - by Kate Osborne MP #JarrowMarch https://t.co/sioVkrJZ7m
I chatted to playwright @CarolineBirdUK about her new play #RedEllen
Itβs about the life of #Labour MP Ellen Wilkinson - who was one of the leaders of the #JarrowMarch - but so much more than that!
@northernstage once again celebrating #NorthEast history and stories π
This afternoon we're hearing from @CarolineBirdUK - writer of the new play #RedEllen at @northernstage
It tells the story of Jarrow MP Ellen Wilkinson - who was one of the leaders of the #JarrowMarch - but so much more:

@NicholasTyrone @sirstan74 πI've "felt like this about the Conservative party" since fully understanding the #JarrowMarch at about 14yo + learning they voted 22 times AGAINST creating the #NHS.
(Full Disclosure: I was born in Jarrow; #NHS has saved my life three times (so far). )
