Disturbances beyond the south-east
There were disturbances, in which perpetrators identified themselves with the southern Swing rioters, in places outside the south-east. For example, in north Shropshire landowner Sir Clement Hill received a 'Swing' letter and there were rick burnings near Whitchurch, which came to trial.(Recalled from reading a 1950s Shropshire county magazine.)Cloptonson (talk) 05:31, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Terrible and incomplete
How can this article stand without even mentioning the King, or kings actually, that reigned during this crisis? Barely any parliamentary framing is offered as well. It's simply incomplete. I like to saw logs! (talk) 10:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Neither George IV (who was blind and "confined to his bedchambers" for the last year of his life), nor William IV had much impact on the riots. The article instead covers the effect the riots had in undermining the government of prime minister Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (which was defeated in a vote of no confidence in November). The next prime minister Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey introduced plans for major reforms, including the Reform Act 1832 which changed the electoral system and granted voting rights to a wider section of the English (and Welsh) population.
