@IrishMartin I've always felt closer to a Scot than a Southern Englishmen myself been from Yorkshire. Quite a common background are Scots and Northern Englishmen, working class, traditionally socialist, oppressed by Margaret Milksnatcher and her Tory thieves. ect ect

FUCKIN' SCABS!

dont know why the media (supposed to be neutral) never seem to mention the mother of this problem. it was cheaper to import it from Poland. isnt that the end of the fucking argument? Capitalism = making the most of what you have got. If my friend Bob sells 1p sweets to me for 2p maybe i will pay the 2p because Bob is my friend. The err 10, 000 other more balanced customers go and buy the 1p sweets from the guy next to Bob who sells them for 1p each, not 2. Bob was overpriced and had to go. END.

FUCK THATCHER.

Also you cannot blame people for refusing Thatchers 5 year plan, would you take a job knowing that you would have to find another one in 5 years time. And lets be fair when does the UK Government ever keep to their promises? 5 years could have turned into 1 or 2.
I love the villiage where I live, where i can go to my neighbours for a cupper and leave my front door unlocked... you should take the time to visit a mining villiage and put yourselves into others shoes before you start judging people

You have probs never been to a mining villiage either before or after the strike. I have been brought up in a mining villiage after the miners strike and i see many men who have no choice but to either re-train completly or watch their families starve. These same men are the ones who have been shafted yet again in the more recent reccession.

The miners wern't thugs! The Miners were desperate Men who wanted to work for a living, that had their livelyhood taken away from them. I agree that Thatcher did a lot of good for this country, and yes if the mines wern't productive then it makes little sense to keep them open. However, people on here talking about 'thugs' don't have a clue.

@IrishMartin You have no clue about the facts, do you?

As an Irishmen the strike was one reason why i never hated the English like my brethren did, the Scottish and Welsh too, point being the miners were as oppressed as we were, good decent people trod on by an aristrocracy, denied the right to breath. Long live the English but fuck the tories, new labour and the monarchy.
