Why were the poor in England opposed to the threshing machines?

The poor were opposed to the threshing machines because for them they were a sign of bad times.

The machines reduced the dependence of landowners on labourers and led to their displacement.

Many a pogr lost their jobs during the threshing season and had to tramp long distances to seek alternate employment in other villages or cities.

Machines gave landowners bargaining powers and reduced the status of the poor to wage earners.

The jobs of the poor became insecure, income unstable and livelihood precarious.
