He became an important figure in the Chartist movement in London, the first mass popular political movement in Britain, and was transported to Australia for allegedly planning an uprising against the British government.

Childrens Theatre production at Nettlefold on the 17th and 18th July 2010
We have a fabulous show coming to the Nettlefold Saturday 17th July at 7pm, and Sunday 18th July at 2pm and 5pm.
The most exciting stage show in London
Adapted by the Young & Talented group from the book `Magnetic Me'. Author Carine Wayne-Campbell
The Project:
Using the stimulus of Magnetic-Me!, the Young & Talented performing arts group devised their own play incorporating song and dance.The play was then scripted and will be performed to community and school audiences at the Nettlefold Hall Theatre in July. The aim of the project is to work with and through young people to breakdown destructive thought processes that keep them from reaching their full potential.
Whilst staging musicals is nothing new for performing arts schools, the innovation lies in the fact that the children, some of life’s best teachers, have taken the lead in every aspect of the show which, thanks to ‘Awards for All’, will have the look and feel of a fringe West End Show.
With the focus on the true meaning of the word ‘educate’ from the Latin ‘e-ducere’ meaning ‘to lead out’ - the Magnetic Me! show, whilst supporting the PSHE curriculum and embracing ‘Every Child Matters’, is all about effective learning by drawing out what is already within the students.Tickets
£4 adults
£2 under 16's
Free for under 5's and OAP
For Tickets call
020 8556 5348 or 07890 017685
or visit http://www.magneticme.com/ or http://www.youngandtalented.co.uk/
The book will be on sale at the subsidised rate thanks to Awards for ALL.
