Queens Square Riot[edit]

The office of Lord Mayor of Bristol was not created until 1899 [1] so clearly there was no Lord Mayor at that time, error corrected. Jezhotwells (talk) 08:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Tesco' Riot?[edit]

Since reports that the riot was really about the Tesco store are called into question within this article itself, and since none of the other riots in the page are given titles beyond the location and date, is it really necessary (or indeed accurate) to name this a 'Tesco' riot? 94.1.39.43 (talk) 02:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The other headings relate to how the riots are colloquially referred. Locally it is referred to as the Tesco riot.Dunos (talk) 07:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Context[edit]

From the Guardian article cited, by Shiv Malik, section entitled "Public spaces, Bristol and the riot":

"Banksy and Massive Attack didn't come out of nowhere – there's a reason why they are from Bristol," says sociologist and Bristolian David Goldblatt. He believes the latest riot is part of a larger history of the public taking over open spaces in the city, which dates back 700 years to the St James's fair. The fair, held on free ground close to Stokes Croft, attracted people from all over Europe but was banned in 1837 after the drinking, gambling, bear baiting and prostitution became too much for the local aldermen.

In 1831, three days of rioting erupted in Queen's Square after the House of Lords rejected voting reform and in 1909 suffragette Theresa Garnett attacked Winston Churchill with a riding crop at Bristol Temple Meads station, shouting: "Take that in the name of the insulted women of England!"
