Listened to this wonderful documentary on’t wireless last night whilst stuck on the M1.
Anybody who wants to know owt about the miners strike and it’s very very local context should listen.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Fishi, EOC, and a few other vets know some of the very knowledgeable and elequent people interviewed and referred to.
One thing that surprised me was that it weren’t Thatcher that started the war against powerful unions, it was Barbara Castle under Callaghan.
