I remember this. I'm an Irish republican I met. miner's collecting money for their families in Kelly's cellars bar in Belfast. They were just over nothing to do with us, having a pint together in friendship. No planned meeting the RUC ( royal Ulster constabulary) pulled up with three Jeeps raided the pub ignored us republicans and dragged the miners out, stripped them in public outside the bar searched them as if they were us . Never forgot that night. My brother in law was shot same night I went up to see him in RVH hospital with a miner who try tried to degrade the night before remember that miner with two black eyes .😢looking on Jim in the hospital bed and with a wicked sense of Yorkshire humour saying " Jimmy you shouldn't have crossed the picket line " , that's a bit more black country joke than it sounds Jimmy was shot fetching a bucket of coal for the fire in a sectarian attack. This was a moment the wounds of English Irish conflict were forgot and we both knew we had a common enemy. The woman who allowed my friends to die on hunger strike and starved miners children. Long live Yorkshire. Yorkshire go bragh.. as an Irish republican I'm sorry for any Yorkshire man who died in Ireland. I apologise the monsters that sent them hated both of us. What could you do in Yorkshire be a miner or a soldier. I met both and was sorry for both.
I have met many racist ex miners, many who believed bloody sunday was justified, I can't stand the the romantic and idealistic nonsense that all miners are wonderful people, many of them were scum.
Superb post, one of the best I've ever seen. I stand with the miners. I was only 8 when it happened, but I remember it well. I'm an Irish Republican too, but I stand with my comrades in the North of England, Wales and Scotland. Hail, hail to the Miners from here in Ireland. I salute you. The nicest people in England.
@@MarkHarrison733 The first civilian killed was Kevin ward a Catholic teenager a bar man dragged out by ex British soldier gusty Spence Ulster volunteer force and and shot dead in 1966, the first bomb detonated was in silent valley resovoir 1969 let off by uvf, the first policeman killed was constable Arbuckle shot dead on the shankill road by the uvf, the first child shot dead wad in divis flats yoing rooney the RUC. The first homes burnt were Conway street and Bombay street Irish Catholics burnt out jointly by the uvf and Ruc. The first people arrested and interned without trials were civil rights protesters. You've made a mistake with me my friend. I'm a republican Protestant not and never Will be to the crown. My nationality isn't defined by religion or vice versa but I'm an Irish man first and that's what you loathe. Tell the truth. When I was growing up my father had four votes in county elections because he owned four home's the families in those homes didn't get to vote he did this was the 1970s not the 1800s . If you didn't own the home you lived in you didn't get to vote. I took part in the civil rights marches and having watched my Catholic friends disciminated against, murdered, put in prison without trials subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment at the hand's of the government became a rebel and took a rebel's stand . I didn't murder unarmed civil rights protesters in Derry or priests and women and children in ballymurphy the parachute regiment did. We were provoked and responded to injustice just as the miners did. You'd like to play on British Ulster protestants Vs rebel Irishmen but that's misleading. We are Irishmen first. I'm not happy about what happened in Ireland, I'm sorry for all the loss of life and hate caused but as a result. I can't undo it. I lost two brother's in the conflict, two cousins and my mother but I forgive you don't. You would sow the hate into a new generation which will reject you. Your bitter against Irishmen and women for being Irish instead of English I can't fix that it's just who you are . When you're taught no history and nothing but hate you end you end up twisted out of shape. On the loyal protestants of Ulster nonsense as opposed to the treasonous Irish Catholics I would reply I'm an Irish Presbyterian republican and the best IRA commander we had on the fall's road in the 1970s was Ivor Bell another Protestant republican who you would also regard as a traitor but remember we are Irish first not British. The rights we fought for should be given to all. We Irish republicans have never been an enemy of the English working class but always shared a common enemy. I think you've twisted yourself out of shape my friend. It doesn't damage me or the people of Yorkshire it damages yourself and for that I'm also sorry. Love.
Yes, but at least we knew who the enemy was. You really can't say that about Labour who hasn't repealed a single anti-trade union law brought in under Thatcher.
I don’t know y the brits fell 4 the (thatcher ) crap I did not end of The 70s not that bad ( but now ) ok you got your house an a second hand ( jag ) both on ( tick ) And that s it and that’s fxxxxxxg it 🎉
She killed British manufacturing too. My little engineering Co, cut from three shifts a day to 36 hour power a week. Broke my business. And my customers.
The unions killed industry. They killed mining as well. They wanted to continue with Victorian practices rather than modernise and they did not want unprofitable mines closed.
Arthur Scargill, an absolute LEGEND. When my late father was coming up through the ranks as a union man in Durham during the late 70s, he became known on the local union scene as Young Scargill. My dad never did fully realise his union potential, but I'm quite proud that others thought he was so capable at one time, that he was associated with Arthur, in the way of that nickname. He actually brought Arthur to our village in the late 70s, taking him to the local pub, then to the local fish and chip shop for supper, before Arthur headed back home to Yorkshire.
Thank you for your humanity towards The Palestinians Arthur. As a second generation British Pakistani lad, my father has mentioned you various times during my upbringing. Lovely to put a face to the name!
No one in our country can beat the dedication of Arthur Scargill to the working people.e of Britain He is a man among men The miners were given no alternative to the work they had done from father to son The North is still trying to come to terms with that time
the fight was in the Golden Mile in the city of London. not parlement not the pit gate, not the power station. A 100,000 men should have been in the city of London every day .
I was picketing Eddie Shahs print works in Warrington, supporting the national geographic union after members were sacked and replaced by nonunion workers. There were thousands picketing from all over the country, Thatchers police force didn’t hold back with the violence. This preceded the miners strike which I also supported by organising fund raising and food parcels. The hatred of Thatcher and the conservative party still burns in many parts of the UK. Whilst Arthur Scargill was continually assassinated by the gutter press he was a hero of mine given I was a young socialist and active politically and as a NUPE branch chairman. It was all history in the making!
Surely a lesson from this ideological vandalism is that finally you have to break from the reformist beaurocracy. There's less and less room to reform the system as time goes on
We will never forget the heroic struggle of British Miners and Arthur Scargill , a genuine workin class hero ! Power to the people of the working class!
Wonderful to see Arthur is still here, while that horrible PDO-protecting harridan spent her last evil years demented and is now roasting over a slow fire where she belongs. Yes we have been through some rough times, and there is more to come, but we will survive and thrive. Never mind the political parties - they are now all owned by the same creatures. It's time to build something new and mutually supportive, from the grass roots up. Thanks for sharing this video. Those folks are an inspiration!

It must be seen as the left's resurrection and the badly needed reminder and assertion to the right that people have lives and the right cannot ignore the fact that they accomplish NOTHING without the help, cooperation, and respect of working people of the world.

I well remember driving from Lancashire into Yorkshire and driving down either the M1 or the A6 and seeing police riot squads on flyovers or roundabouts, I lost faith in British justice when Thatcher got Ian MacGregor a Canadian to effectivly break the strike. Some years later I drove through Conset a ghost town.

Yes, Thatcher crushed British miners and destroyed their economy. However, Thatcher was a strong supporter of Polish miners and switched to using coal from Poland, even though it is sub-standard. Europe is now using coal to power Green electric cars. I doubt Britain can re-open coal mines as they were flooded.
