sean connery good film.Thatcher killed the coal fields. Say what you want about us english but we fought to keep our mines working yes we lost but we fought .Every village had its own winding wheel head stock .As a boy in all our villiges the whistle meant our fathers and brothers were coming up the shaft. I did two years underground and hated it .

@spitfire47able thats cos the english is sadly just a made up construct by your state to keep the people down...england was taken over by a norman elite and culture...thatcher is merely the millenia old shitty legacy

Great Grandad was a miner in Montana, he was from Allihies Mines Co. Cork. I like this song, I guess the cubicle that awaits me tomorrow is not such a bad thing. However, a sailing ship or steamer across the Atlantic and travels in a new land arouse a certain feeling.

Molly Maguires were a secret organization of thugs who actually had fuckall to do with any ideology but murdered not only mine bosses but anyone they had a personal grudge against like a German (non-Irish) policeman, Benjamin Yost. To read a well-researched account, try Wayne G Broehl's book The Molly Maguires. The real thing is not hard to come by if you are actually interested.
