G R I F F I N University of Sussex ABSTRACT. No form of English popular protest has been subject to such close scholarly analysis as the eighteenth-century food riot, a response not just to the understanding that food riots comprised two out of every three crowd actions but also to the influence of E. P. Thompson’s seminal paper ‘The moral economy of the English crowd’. If the food riot is now understood as an event of consid- erable complexity, one assertion remains unchallenged: that riots remained a tradition of the towns, with agrarian society all but unaffected by food rioting. This article offers a new interpretation in which the rural is not just the backdrop to food protests but instead a locus and focus of collective actions over the marketing of provisions, with agricultural workers taking centre stage. It is shown that agricultural workers often took the lead in market town riots as well as well as in instigating riots in the countryside.

  • Debbie Tulett Portland Resident
    Ref: Planning application: WP/20/00692/DCC OBJECTION TO THE POWERFUEL PORTLAND LTD PLANNING APPLICATION THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE DORSET WASTE PLAN 2019 (Adopted December 2019) POLICY 18 Biodiversity and geological interest Natura 2000 Sites Proposals for waste management facilities must not adversely affect the integrity of European or Ramsar or other internationally designated sites, either alone or in combination with other plans and projects. Sites of national and local importance: Development which adversely affects a Site of Special Scientific Interest will not normally be permitted, except where the benefits of the development at the site clearly outweigh the impacts on the features of the site. Policies 1-6 of the DWP establish that the benefits of the development of the site clearly do not outweigh the impacts of the features of the site and that there is no ‘need’ for a waste incinerator at this location other than for personal financial gain. This proposed site not only abuts a SSSI and is within metres of a SAC, but within 10km of the site there are numerous conservation designations. Therefore this proposal is in breach of the Dorset Waste Plan 2019 Policy 18 OVERVIEW: The Isle of Portland is a magnificent place for birdwatching, known as one of the best in Britain and is renowned for its migratory birds and passing seabirds. Habitats include cliffs, old quarries, farmland, dense scrub, rough pasture, clumps of trees and residential gardens. Portland is one of the UK’s best-known birdwatching areas. The abundance of Portland’s wildlife is remarkable, as the unique beauty of Portland has various habitats supporting a diverse range of animals, birds and plants.
