My Father his brothers and his Father for generations before him were all miners. Thatcher ruined this country and the treatment of decent hard working men was a scandal. Thank You for this video brought back a lot of memories our whole street were miners so I grew up with the experiences of accidents and the fear of my Dad being late home till the day came when he was trapped by 14feet of coal when a dowty prop failed. knowing about disasters like Knockshinnoch. The Price of Coal is so apt

Good video Bill and spot on regarding Britains demise at the hands of Thatcher & her ilk, I was still in Rhodesia when she took power & we were doomed from that moment on. Iron lady my arse. Scotty (Iowa USA)

I

remember 1980 in Corby,I was a steelworker with two young children.Thatcher brought that man from America gave him a few thousand pound to shut us down.I wonder who Cameron

will bring in to finish us off.

@23842592 Mrs Thatcher has seemingly lost it so perhaps Meryl Streep wqill be brought in
