Dave H ~~ a foolish and thoroughly meretricious point. Where did she ever so describe all miners? Even if these were any of the same miners who fought the police and threw ballbearings under their horses' hoofs, your silly statement is on a par with pleading that the tyrant is kind to animals. We are not consistent beings in all situations; it would be perfectly possible for a person to behave bravely during an industrial accident and still at other times indulge in activities prdejudicial to the common weal. I well remember a wartime hero, awarded the Military Medal by the King, getting 12 years six months later for a particularly violent robbery in which a watchman was severely injured. Which was he, then ~~ heroic soldier or enemy within?
