@kevandshir After previous disputes the Myron plan was put into place,that and the Ridley commission to ensure secondary picketing could be outlawed,and all sorts of other draconian anti union laws could be invoked to disable further protest before open war with the NUM was sought in full.

Thank god those bully boy unions and miners got put in their places, thinking they can stay open when they made no profit and just burdened ordinary people like my family who struggled to pay the bills, whilst they when on a champagne shopping spree with tax payers money.

My mate used to work in the Betteshanger pit in Kent, They was the First ones out, And last ones back. So much for Southern Softies, Unlike them Nottinghamshire scabs

i can remember this as a child of 6 years old as my father was a miner. it is only now a fully understand it. an orchestrated attack on the working class by greedy tory capitalist government with a political and economic agenda. Working class heroes in my eyes

[bostikbob]

The good days when unions worked for the people,not like the shower of shit running them now with their massive salaries,who dont care about it members who they use to fight their marxist agenda to destroy Britain from within.

I want a pit job, fuck the risks danger is something men must face. It'd be better than the tedious, mind numbing and very feminine jobs on offer today.
