Then, as now, discussion of this issue just descends into petty tribal squabbling. I'd say class warfare, but that's to ignore the fact that back then most of the working-class Press was against the strike.

The fact that families and communities are still divided over this and prepared to use petty, pathetic playground insults like 'scab' tells me all I need to know.
