Or the bricks thrown from bridges?

it was a bit bigger wasn't it?

Do you also remember the police going in on horseback at Orgreave?

They should've sent the tanks in, never mind the horses!

Still, my dad made a shed load of overtime out of the miners strike

[WTFH]

FTFY, I remember it also.

where ordinary people got their heads kicked in for being a black leg in an un-balloted strike

FTFY, I remember it also.

Did you hold the opinion?

the opinion that I held on both strikes was that both Sirs and Scargill were a little less street wise than they should have been.

boo hoo

maggies child here too.

Repeatedly made a job for myself and enjoyed prosperity. Keep on blaming others for your misfortune. Its yours!

What do you mean “too”? I didn’t arrive in the U.K. until the 90’s, Maggie is all yours....

You’re missing the point of my (limited) soclalism. I’ve been a conservative voter most of my life, but I can still have empathy with others that are not as fortunate and rely on labour legislation to protect them.

[WTFH]

It was an opinion held by many

No there wasn’t, John. You made it up, like all your dull opinions, dull trolling, etc.

I was working in the steel industry in 1980 and a member of ISTC. It was an opinion held by many of the conduct of Bill Sirs. Other colleagues expressed the same opinion about Scargill. Were you alive and working at that time?

Also, for your information, the middle and senior management branch of ISTC did not vote for the steel strike in 1980

[WTFH]

There was a suggestion...

You’re right, I wasn’t brought brought up under a communist regime.

I was brought up in the 70s and 80s where workers had to go on strike for hard-fought rights, where ordinary people got their heads kicked in for daring to ask for a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work.

So perhaps wannabe totalitarians like yourself should be grateful that others have fought for the rights that you are so keen to enjoy, but want to deny to others.

There was a suggestion that both Bill Sirs (ISTC) and Arthur Scargill (NUM) were in league with Maggie as neither followed the wishes of a large proportion of their membership in calling their respective strikes and both didn't really have a cohesive plan. Maggie would have found great difficulty politically in making the redundancies which followed both strikes if it were not for those strikes.

It should have been plain to Scargill that McGregor, who had orchestrated the steel industry changes, would do the same with the miners. Scargill was a fool to take him and Maggie on in the way that he did. I guess both men enjoyed their pensions.

I have always laid the blame for the 1984 miners strike at the feet of Joe Gormley, who effectively brought down the Conservative Government in 1974. I said then that there would be repercussions, and Maggie proved so.

You're effin' big bollocks when he's banned, aren't you? As soon as he's back you'll have your tongue rammed so far up his arse that sasguru will be creaming in his dungarees!

Zig - in "just thought I'd lighten the mood" mode!

Never were truer words spoken in jest.

Well maybe not communist but the labour of the 70's was pretty ******* close.
