Is this the same Ricky Tomlinson who, during the builders strike in 1972, was organiser of the rent-a-thug flying pickets and who's actions led to a violent attack on working builders in Shrewsbury, leading to one of the victims loosing an eye?
@sapper82 I assume you mean principled working men and women fighting for civilised pay and conditions in a national strike aspects of which remain held secret by the state presumably to hide the involvement of state security organisations?
Ricky Tomlinson is a decent human being, generous to a fault, your slur says lots about you.
I agree that there were, still are, many issues in the building industry regarding pay and but health and safety, but the historic fact remains. Tomlinson organised an assault by flying pickets on a site in Shrewsbury. the resulting violence caused a worker to suffer injuries that cost him an eye. Simply because he disagreed with the strike and wished to exercise his right to peacefully go to work.
