I think I was on the miner's side at the time... but not sure I would be now.

No question - several of my family were miners and a few friends .... a poignant memory

Well I cannot comprehend why some folk think people give up their wages for the hell of it.Just to be awkward....or just cos they dont like the PM *rolleyes*Maybe its news to them that while you're on strike there are very limited funds available from the union to support you.Most subs are spent on humungous legal fees fighting for workers rights.
Anyhow..this is a pretty accurate trip down memory lane..right down to the cops admitting they were kept in the meat wagonsa and fed propaganda(anti miner obvs)
