Hudds Ludds frame-breaking at the 2012 London Anarchist Bookfair

After a 200-year hiatus, frame-breaking returns to England: two Luddites from Huddersfield travelled all the way down from the West Riding to Mile End in London to get their revenge on this mock-up of a shearing-frame. The people of Huddersfield could have witnessed this spectacle in April were it not for the petty-minded bureaucrats at Kirklees Council who wanted evidence of £1m public liability insurance and threatened to sue if we tried anything.
