I was in Glasgow for the 1977/78 strike. We were based at HMS Graham, an RNVR place and as a young RAF man I found it exciting. As a strange coincidence I ended up marrying someone with the surname Graham whose parents were from Glasgow.
The opening theme songs sounded a bit rough. Maybe needed a new belt for the turntable? Perhaps the gramophone needed some cranking..? Look into this, please, Fremantle 😄
21 pounds for a 48 hour week is 44 pence an hour. That is pretty low even for 1973. The average wage for a male was 38 pounds a week for a blue collar worker.
The raf man colapes due to smoke, and he wakes up. THEY GIVE HIM a CIGARETTE
I'm trying to figure out where the first fire is.
Interesting how the journalist isn’t interrogating the employer and trying to shame them, same as what he did to the employees
It may be the other side wouldn't talk to them.
22:26 Who was that guy, he looks like some rat bastard in management.

Deja vu...
This was when politicians were paying themselves over £200 per week.
Interview the injured guy lying on the street!!
Did they get the 5 pounds?
Its so insane that emergency services could go on strike. This should be illegal.
Or they should be given better working conditions. You can't force someone to work.
So you can't fight for more money... Why??
You can't save lives if you can't live your own life
Two Firemen killed in Reading a couple of months before the start of the strike.
@@brillo5957eight Firemen killed in Glasgow nine months before
When u get to see history repeat itself in the same lifetime… 🫤
