In answer to Suibhne above, the facts are that Ewan MacColl did not elect himself as a Voice of the People in the 84-85 strike. He was approached by members of the strike committee and asked could he write a song or two to help their cause. Obviously, they believed he was the best man for the task, despite what he may or may not have done in the war.
I feel his songs deserve mention in this project as they were sung during the strike. Did your song become part of the strikers repertoire ?
