    Your soul will burn in Hell for all eternity, fired by (Oh! the irony) best quality Yorkshire coal, with Scargill himself shoveling more of the stuff onto the fire.

    Great thread (link) - all started with a bloke wanting to know where he can buy a "Non-Emmet" sticker for his car, thus proudly proclaiming he's a local person and therefore entitled to some sort of different consideration. It's clear from that thread that a significant proportion of the Cornish don't want visitors and won't welcome them. That's fine - there are plenty of other places I can (and do) go for fun. There's nothing special about Cornwall any more than there is about my tuliphole of a home town.

    Strange that they never think to call us Benefactors, Saviours, Founders of their feast, etc.

    Mates?

    Same sort of stuff was said by the Nottinghamshire miners. Where are they now?

    Imperfect though the unions were, what we have now is a small group of pro-Tory lick spittles who represent Number 10 alone (Bill Morris clones, for example). Last time a union did anything Leftie (Fire Brigade union), the Media treated them like Stalinist baby eaters. And before you trot out any more anti-union toss, remember that the PCG is a union by another name.

    Prior to Mrs T the Unions were pretty excessive and certainly responsible for massive problems, but I feel that the destruction of the Unions went too far. A lot of it was done by demolishing the industries that were Unionised which was a wrecking ball to crack a nut and has left UK PLC with nothing more than the vapourware Banking and Service industries.

    I got the same treatment on the Isle Of Wight.

    I agree. Whenever a system is tilted as much as the Gov./unions system is, bad stuff happens.

    A quick look at unions' activities reveals that they are now nothing more than legal aid entities.
