Oswald Farage being welcomed to a licensed premises owned by Peter Doyle (I think it still is) - a marriage made in heaven if ever I saw one.
Brilliant. Never a truer word said. it is quite frankly embarrassing how many people voted for Brexit based on xenophobic beliefs, peddled by the Daily Mail.
I think most people in Barnsley and beyond don’t need books to know how she treat the working people of this country, The fact you do means your opinion is flawed.
Not Harold Wilson's fault then for closing pits and more of them....or should we ignore that part of our history?
No revisit if by all means , in factit’s been done on here loads of times , There were no job losses under the labour closure programme it was done to fill vacancies at existing collieries . Pits were undermanned and coal could be got from other collieriies.
212,000 miners jobs went under Wilson in the 60s. I accept the impact of the job cuts in the 80s was more severe on communities. There was a broader context then around the power of the unions and we suffered greatly because of that.
As much as I understand the angst and anger at the miners job losses etc had on Barnsley under the tories, that was a generation ago, 40 years. To keep banging on and on about it is massively futile imho and serves no one any good whatsoever. Both major parties are as bad as each other in the present day, that’s the top and bottom of it sadly, democracy is f.ucked in this country and has been for ages.
