It bring back very bitter memories to me Bill. There was sweet **** all back then. That's why I joined up.
Id not been long left the mob. but the bitterness still remains. my uncle retired after being spat on by ****s who were nothing to do with mining. because he was losing his house, a very sick wife, didnt own a car, lost fingers and toes down the pit, eventually, he lost his life last year. a bitter man. abaut while the conflict was going on , and miners on the breadline, Scargill was building a new house. what happened to all that money they found in the quality street tin in his house? why did the miners break away to a new union, why is Scargill trying to keep his grace and favour house, whilst the unions are fighting him off. Last question Billy,,,,, As a banktop electrician, what the **** would Scargill know about three foot of black water up to a mans waist, a couple of thousand feet under ground, and fourteen miles out to sea. And the ****er is still trying to screw the mine workers for all he can, and the piece of **** , you might stand in ,is still all for himself. lost family down the pits, and my father in law who is 94 years old, and pretty senile, mutters " Scargill killed us,,,, the bastard " on and on and on, my wife is his carer, and demented by it.
