I love the way people gave straight answers to questions rather than ducking and diving and using semantics as they do today.

Such a huge privilege to watch this old footage from the early 70s and how the discussions about a living wage were negotiated by unions 😮

Wish we had programmes like this today. Both sides evenly reported so the viewer can get an informed balanced perspective. Shows how bad the media is in 2022

Here's to the Irish the working men who fought so hard. My dad who slaved so hard and shared his food with people who didn't have much to give. God bless you all

Growing up in the the US, I'd heard of Scargill, but didn't think he was that young. I thought he an old guy.

You have got to admire the man 100 percent for the miners and everything he said came true if it wasn't for the government owned media the miners would have had a chance

@il9237

The Police used to wave their pay packets at the miners on the 1984 picket lines 😂😂😂

I would like someone to explain why do workers like the Miners and Trawler crews do not deserve higher wages and better conditions.

I was only four at the time- too young to understand or remember that period. Ten years later, the Miners Strike would be a memory etched in my adolescent brain. By which time my father, a policeman, would be called to help keep order in Notts. It is now fifty years after the video and I turn 54 in four months' time!

I wish i had the opportunity to have experienced/worked in this industry .

My dad was the only ones to see it through, not like the tories, my dad loved Labour because that's all they knew. And the rich used to get my father's and Grandfather's early and I mean early after they have been slaving all day oh I love my daddy and his and my Ancestors
