Lest we forget eh. Scargill was a liar and a scaremongerer and there wasn’t a pit closure programme you know. The Tories are the party of commerce and only they can be trusted with the UK economy so why would they close economically viable pits/businesses? Thing is, after all that and the last 14 years of Tory mayhem, ‘ ordinary’folk will vote for them or their sidekick Reform Ltd co.
“But but but we woz promised we’d be looked after when we shafted the rest of the mining communities a few years ago ago, and the tories aren’t keeping their promise and it’s not fair boooooo” I’ll never applaud the loss of the industry or family men losing jobs but it’s exceptionally difficult to feel any sympathy whatsoever for those particular miners.
Sold down the river by the Tories ,well we didn't see that one coming. Pity they didn't have any balls in March 1984 . But then again they were paid 40 pieces of silver. No sympathy at all for them. Only the lads that stuck with the NUM which was a fair few that got dog abuse for striking.
Let's not forget they screwed our pensions too by siding with the coal board , over the amount the government could take and the contribution holiday that the coal board took , may they rot.
The sound of the penny dropping. I’d laugh but those idiots were complicit in the destruction of communities and many of the problems we have today link back to them.
The people in certain parts of Nottingham are still under the illusion that the Torys are on their side just take Ashfield where they voted in a scab as their MP in 2019 a dumb nut called 30p Lee Anderson.
I do t think he was a scab to be fair to him , his conversion to right wing politics is a fairly recent thing after being a Labour Councillor in 2015 but suspended for a spat with some travellers
and still screwing mps- sent an email to 'Mr.Healey' my mp about mps theft imho-and he agreed that Labour will be taking a very hard look at the recommendations by a 'panel' in 2022 statingi it was wrong and the 50/50% should be cancelled immediatly-the tories accepted the findings and did nothing!!!! as usual. Only 180000 of us left from 440000 in 1994 but assets now at 11billion down from 14billionin 1994 -draw your own conclusions
