LOL - you're reaching mate. </p> Maybe you should tell the Barnsley miner who came face to face with his own squaddie son that he must have been seeing things because a couple of ex-soldiers reckon it didn't happen. There were plenty of "coppers" without numbers and there are plenty of people who saw that with their own eyes. It's illegal, full stop.</p> The destruction of the coal industry has cost this country dear so far but nothing compared to what it will cost us in the future.</p>
all Laura did was inform people of the planned blockade, not a history lesson on the miners strike cheers 4 letting us know Laura. Just in case, i will fill mine up 2moz. Better to be safe than sorry
Carry on with your delusions Windy Not a single scrap of evidence to support the miners claims of soldiers on the picket lines. Yes bobbies took off their numbers but not one soldier has come forwards to confirm your suggestion. I think one of them might have written a book by now. Plenty miners would have bought it, just to satisfy their own misguided beliefs. This bloke who met his son. Urban myth. FACT. I don't want to talk to this ex barnsley miner. I want to meet his non existant son. And I agree 100% about the future effects of the destruction of the mining industry. Shame Scargil and the rest of his mindless thugs couldn't see it before ruining the industry. Hey maybe in couple of years you'll get your wish and they'll re-open the mines and you'll be able to queue up for your old job back. I bet you can't wait.
Your Tory propaganda won't wash here. </p> "Not one scrap of evidence," surprise, surprise.Comically naive to suggestthere might be.</p> "Bobbies took their numbers off." Why would they do that? And aren't you admitting your beloved Thatcher committed anoffenceby allowing it anyway? You've got nowhere to go with this.</p> "Scargill and his mindless thugs ruined the industry," I won't even dignify that last bit of ballocks with a response.</p> Is this you?</p> </p> </p>
