"There must be no victory because the miners must not be defeated. They are desperate for their communities and this desperation forces them to action.”

@DurhamMiners Disgraceful Durham Miners Association getting involved in an Election they have no right to.
They should leave it up to the beneficiaries to make their own choice.
The DMA never before got involved in preferring one candidate over the others.

Josie was severely injured in an underground accident.He had to come to the surface.
He’s wife Dot use to work in pit canteen.
This incident was caused by walking the scabs through our community.

We remember today the 81miners and two brave rescue brigade men who lost their lives in a tragic underground explosion on this day in 1951.

@Miners_Strike I have never queried the tactics of picketing during the 1984/85 Strike.
But I made it known that the tactics of picketing Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire trying to keep scabs out wasn’t working.
We should have concentrated on all power stations
