if the pits were still open i'd have a secure well paying job and cheap heating bills instead of having to stitch together part time jobs and freezing my knackers off every winter.

Thanks, Thatcher.

@Welshman2008 . Used to have a mate, Who worked at a pit in Kent, During the strike They were solid, And Would never go back. Kent Miners were the forgotten heroes.

@RichardElden you're glad we became less self sufficient?

@JackevAll

Who says the Unions are beaten? One of the biggest stand offs with capital is on the cards for this winter? I know Polish workers will be there .Unionise! Organise! Workers Unite! Or be a scab with the bosses condemning us all to poverty and unemployment. Which side are you on? There's no middle way or perhaps Third Way!

there will be a massave line of people with aching bladders , waiting thier turn behind you

[normanjebb]

When Nottinghamshire balloted ,police stopped a lot of the notts lads who where striking from getting to their pits,my own pit Moorgreen voted to strike,the NCB immediatly said any miner at Moorgreen over 50 could finish immediatley with a pension,end of majority for strike at Moorgreen.However Notts Working Miners got their just deserts one pit left just! I have promised to piss on Thatchers grave if its the last thing I ever do.

My Case of stout is in the cellar ; hopefully God will allow the Devil to bite Thatchers Arse with Hubris very shortly and the Poor Bastards who were robbed by her and her cronie Banker Arselickers/ Nazi profiteers will celebrate the death of one of the most Vile Tories who ever lived.

@JackevAll

You don't have to work in a unionised work place to join a union, if you join like I did on my own, you can make a difference, you can call a rep to any hearing at work and have law on your side! as soon as I joined I was left alone, but within a year of me leaving, the place was unionised, because others saw you cannot be victimised if you stand together. Be brave, union membership is your right and most employers will take notice when you have a huge legal team behind you!!

@thevster1603 lol i see wat ur saying but i'm led to believe it's the tories who broke the unions' backs in the first place i've had dozens of jobs and never even had an opportunity to be a union member. perhaps it's because most were slave like temporary contracts which i believe the tories brought in to start with. anyway, i never defended the unions... or labour for that matter, we live in a country where exposing government corruption gets you assassinated so wat's the best we can hope for?
