@saphireroze001 the miners in the 80's, maggie thatcher tried to close all the mines down i think and the miners weren't happy so they protested and rebelled.
Unfortunatley this is very true to life of antagonistic attitude in the eighties-there was a lot of unrest and unjust and a hell of a lot of people suffered,also in the prisons as well(selective blindness)-i think it is much worse today because these powers have been "restricted" due to the "human rights" issues that abound today ...
XD When i saw the film i went all hyper on my friends saying "OMG its billy elliot!" they didnt even know who he was so i stopped jumper and made them watch billy elliot instead...-.-,
Look,lets not get to heavy. If anyone did do what you say,lock him up. Totally wrong and i would never condone this terrible act. The police DID beat up drunk miners at night. The Police are supposed to uphold the law, not beat up innocent possibly defenceless people. Anyway, did you enjoy the film?
WTF the police were fucking ruthless back in the thatcher years. if u were in the way u were gunna get batterd. they were gunna close all thew mines so they all went on strick or somin like tht and wen they did picket lines and demonstrations this happend.
no it was beacuse thatcher closed 20 unprofitable mines and i think the poice have been exagurated here i mean they did attack the miners but it was the riot police.
not at all. coal was always a very valuable ommodity, but after the first defeat of the unions to thatcher, she made the miners work longer shifts for less pay. this made all surrounding coal mines in europe, australia etc make their workers work for longer and for less. and in the end we couldnt compete with the market that we [thatcher] had created.
Speaking of Maggies...the following is a poem by a 13 year old, living in Southern England, when the miners' strike was on; although it didn't affect his life directly, he saw it on the news every day and wrote this poem in his English class. Should have sent it to Maggie (The Superior) 23 years ago - maybe she would have liked it?
Quite a powerful poem, made more remarkable by the fact it was written by a child. Had he posted it to Maggie, it would have been a waste of a stamp. The woman was long ago embalmed with ice water and good poetry has no impact upon the heartless.
This shows how the state will use workers in uniform to batter fellow workers into submission.Nationalisation what a con trick,genuine socialism has not failed its never been tried.Our day will come.
The mines have all gone,quickly demolished.The old colliery houses are still standing though?But at least no more generations of young men will have to spend their lives down a dirty stinking pit.Workers Of All Lands Unite.
lol this brings bak memorys when i was a kid that bitch maggie fachett put my dad and his mates out of work so they rioted lol quite scary for me since i was a kid like billy and micheal
I thnk the point of him jumping through houses isnt for the comedic sense. Well, really. this is a mining town. Its a tight knit community. The purpose, I think, is to prove that they're helping him.
though, the drink part is pretty damn funny. Tea makes everything ebtter.
yer wish i grew in that era this decade has bin shite to grow up in too much of a womens world know thats y were all depresd lol the only thing to even it out has bin oasis
god bless maggie thatcher

yes the mines were making money but these 20 werent she didnt close the entire mining industry in one go
but the problem was the union leader at the time was a communist

(poem Part 1 of 2)
The Battle
The fuel flows out
At a terrific rate,
Until The Superior
Wipes the slate,
Pack up and go,
It costs too much.
But the people are angry,
And weapons they clutch.
timnosuke 4 years ago
(poem part 2 of 2)
They battle against
The army in blue
And wonder in horror,
What Superior will do?
Then suddenly she speaks,
Put in his head.
The blade slides down,
And Scargill is dead.
P.S. The English teacher wrote " I'm not sure what to say to this! "
