TO ALL OUR MPs:

Thread👇

It's understandable that the crowds' reaction seemed out-of-order after yesterday's vote, but I suggest you look to history to see that when people are not happy with you, they will show it.

Any of you heard of Sir Charles Wetherall? > Wetherell was Bristol's senior judge. In 1831 he made a statement in Parliament that Bristol was not in favour of parliamentary reform.

The people of Bristol responded by rioting for two days. Wetherall had to escape the city in women's clothes.
