OnThisDay 1984. TUC general secretary Norman Willis addressed a rally of miners and their families in Aberavon, South Wales.

Willis blamed miners for picket line violence as a noose was lowered just above his head.

“There are 8,000 of our people being arrested - I’ve been among them. There are people in hospital, injured - I’ve been amongst then. Don’t talk to me about violence.”

@Andythefireman Not done an update for awhile. And I’ve been off on long term sick past 5 months But what I’m seeing with newer qualified is if you come up to traffic queue it’s lights on & horns off and wait for cars to move. Rather than making progress with horns.

“You will be able to look and say with pride that in 1984 you took part in a struggle, not only to save your pits and your jobs and your communities and your culture, but in the process you retained your dignity as human beings.”

PERFECT TV?

I remember watching this at the time and it has stayed with me ever since. An incredibly powerful example of the futility of trench warfare. The final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth was first broadcast this week back in 1989.

Arguably the most poignant end to a TV show. They made us laugh for years and suddenly we felt what it was like to lose them.

We will remember them.
For our tomorrows, they gave their today.
