I guess the Chartists weren't wrong to be sceptical of the Anti-Corn Law League: https://t.co/WW1FQwEAWt #JohnBright #Chartists #CornLaws #League

"The locustry of Britain
Are gods beneath the skies;
They stamp the brave into the grave;
They feed on Famine's sighs."

@TheEconomist What can we expect from a publisher born for propaganda in 1843 #CornLaws
While #Hollywood exports Western-centrism as #creativity
A film highlighting lived reality & pain of #Indian society is labelled #propaganda
It’s time #India realises #US & #UK are contextually bonded to it
@TRobinsonNewEra Not only do leftist politicals London England tolerate fishing endangered species in marine areas for money
This censorship would make my Irish grandmother SICK

John Bright MP (1811-1889) was also photographed by W. & D. Downey in 1863 .... Cobden & Bright make a striking portrait set #cornlaws
Richard Cobden MP (1804-1865) led the fight to repeal Corn Laws, which penalised the poorest in society.
A Pressphotoman piece on these portraits from an 1863 sitting with W. & D. Downey ... and the art of producing multiple cartes-de-visite.

@AdamJSchwarz @SteveReedMP So 100% of us have to pay more for our food to protect incomes of <2%, many of whom are in “the 1%”. Odd priorities for @UKLabour government!
And which trade deals “sell out standards”? Please tell!

1/n Folks, especially British folks, let's talk #tomatoes, seasons, #autarky (national #selfsufficiency), & the British #CornLaws, 1815 to 1846. As y'all know, I'm a huge #FairTrade fan, and also a huge #selfsufficiency fan — but there are very hard limits.

@TxusMarcano @AAretxaba El comercio lleva la paz. Las potencias marítimas son pacíficas mientras que las potencias terrestres son violentas y otras chorradas sacadas del libro de Escohotado LOS ENEMIGOS DEL COMERCIO.

@lunaperla I thought it was caused by the #CornLaws enforcing high import tariffs for grain to protect British Tory farm owners. So the opposite of free trade - protectionism. GB had free trade with the EU right up until Dec 2020. https://t.co/0Gms7Hv8sh
The #CornLaws were also designed to protect the status quo for wealthy landowners: they artificially raised the price of basic foods, keeping rural workers in poverty while landowners counted their cash. https://t.co/QkXCLzw8Rn #FoodForThought
