Subject: RE: 1984 UK Miners Strike discussion (relocated)
Al, I like the idea of fighting inequality in general, I like the idea of pointing out the wrongs of right wing philosophy being enacted on society. My point was that if Scargill wanted to fight that, then go ahead. I just don't think it fair that by lying to the members, breaking union rules and forcing a strike at frankly the wrong time to ever win it, why I lost everything, (not easy being asked by a bailiff to choose between keeping the pram and the push chair..) in order to do "my bit" in a political war, as opposed to the legitimate aims of a trade union.

Bridge..

I didn't ask to deal with Thatcher. Neither did many of the 20,000 employed miners or the countless thousands who lost it by being in either allied industries or serving local mining communities. If anybody says the futile attempt to short circuit democracy was worth it, then you obviously have the luxury of conducting campaigns of war from your comfy arm chair. Fuck you my friend. Fuck you.

Instead of saying hear hear, try here here instead. Unless you were here here, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and sound absurd. Your definition of right wing seems to be anybody who doesn't agree with your take on life. Considering you reckon that has been 360 deg. over the years, principled people would get dizzy trying to follow you.

Followed the ranks of the oppressors?? I'm the same as you and everybody else. Trying to do my bit and make my bit at the same time. All this class warfare tosh and bollocks, it is becoming tedious.
