I know ,what was thinking .It realy annoys me though because he hasn't got a clue ,he didn't live through it ,and he hasn't even researched it and yet he is prepared to insult those who did by saying stupid things like this "there were a lot of people that were scabs"

Because they are in the same situation as the union member and they are not helping the union member active their goals, anyway a lot of the miner were union members

Re: major donor to the Conservative Party proposed the dilution of workplace rights
 

I have answered you question, also what would you have done if you were losing you job and you had little chance of getting another job?

I don't want to beat anyone up by the way, I want to radical change via democratic means, but sadly It almost impossible to do :(

Re: major donor to the Conservative Party proposed the dilution of workplace rights
 

I would not beat up innocent people which is something you seem to feel is ok :mad:
