The truth about the Bloomsbury Gang

When you read about 'The Bloomsbury gang' you'll find it has three connotations the first being political, the second being a story of how gang violence is told in Britain in reaction to the symbolic memories of the fight for freedom of workers in the silk trade. Finally the third is a more historical and nostalgic view of high society art; a floral interpretation of the meaning.

Firstly the historical overview of this important part of British working class identity and the first academic archives of British musical anarchism. You can read more about this by downloading the free PDF linked at the bottom of this post. Secondly a contrasting video for you to watch about racial tension in Burnley which I think has been linked in congruence with the violence that irrupted during changes of 'marshall law' in England. Then last but not least the more commonly known truth about the high cultured and well published Bloomsbury Gang of London arts led by members of a secret society called the 'Apostles'.

The 4^th Duke of Bedford a whig politician who created the original Bloomsbury Gang in 1765 was attacked by an abundance of striking silk weavers armed with bludgeons and axes in May 1765. The silk weavers have been linked to the levellers of the earlier 17th century. It's important because this is the first example of radical English revolution. The leveler and silk weavers used tribal pots and pans during the 'skimmingtons' to make music as they challenged scabs and attacked the changes in Parliamentary bills. Mansfield a lawyer for the Duke created the bill to make slavery illegal in Britain but it never did quite work out during the Dukes reign of power.

The Bloomsbury group in this post attributed as the Bloomsbury gang was full of writers, poets, thinkers and philosophers. They published a great deal of literature. It's members had a passion for nature and challenging views about religious dogma, many of whom later in life conformed to the comforts of religion. It's culturally mixed members addressed issues of female suffrage, male angst and often attributed to first writers coming out of the closet through a notable homosexual expression and other explorations of  human conditions that happen and have been mentioned as being in relation to the topic of love.

This I think has brought us up-to date with who are linked in with the Bloomsbury Gang. Other topics that I have missed because I'm to busy right now is the exploration of the word 'skimmingtons' the main musical attribute and I think a key word to understanding this in a better document of British heritage. To find out more though you can look into the archives of Morris Dancing and May pole rituals.
