In the autumn of 1890, Vaughan Nash introduced Hugh to Tom Mann of the Dockers Union with another Unionist, Harry Nicholls, and together they worked in the countryside of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and the Home Counties, drumming up membership for an Agricultural Labourers Union.

National Agricultural Labourers Union delegates drawn from all over England met at the Union ‘conference’ in June 1874 Were observed by a reporter from The Times who thought that most were agricultural labourers ‘and a large proportion of them were local preachers amongst the Primitive Methodists’.

Dorset labourers’ wages were notoriously low from at least the 1790s, and these low wages were at least part of the cause for the ‘Captain Swing’ riots of 1830. Falling wages were the spur for the Dorsetshire Labourers (the Tolpuddle Martyrs) to set up a tiny trades union in 1834. Dorchester

National Agricultural Labourers Union conference 1874 discussed the admission of women. ‘It appeared that in many branches they had already been admitted’, the delegate (Worcester) stated ‘We have found that women are the best of men, & that many a woman is worth three men’ to the Union. Tolpuddle

🧪“Mitochondrial challenges”? Not a thing. Inflammation that he can just see in a kid’s face or movements? Also made up. Is the implication that these kids he sees in airports all have autism? I get it now, airplanes cause autism.

fun fact: there is actually a version of The Museum of English Rural Life in the Alien Earth cinematic universe. the only difference is that their version has a xenomorph in it. sorry, visitors!
