Question

it said that charitsm is a knife and fork issue only .comment!! ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chartism was a paradox because it reflected this society. ... To a great extent, Chartism was a "knife and fork, a bread and cheese question" as Joseph Rayner Stephens said on 24 September 1838 when he spoke at Kersal Moor, in favour of universal suffrage.

Answer 2

The question is asking was Chartism JUST a knife and fork movement, to which you'd say NO it was a social movement too e.g. political newspapers like the Poor Mans Guardian and it was all about reform. i.e. not only reform of the parliamentary system but also redress of economic, social and political grievances.
