I was struck once listening to the radio a couple of years ago, that a miner who had supported the strike still hated those who had crossed the picket line and still wouldn’t speak to them. I just don’t get it. If you believe a strike is wrong, then don’t support it. If you believe in freedom of speech and action, then let the strike breakers carry on.

The minors lost everything ,Jobs houses cars then families …So I respect his right to feel a bit grieved by it all.

Lets face it ,Some people on this forum develops deep rooted hate for one crossed word ffs .

I had noticed :laughing: .

But what does it achieve to be bitter for decades and if those that carried on mining believed that the strike was wrong, what were they supposed to do? We laud people for having the courage of their convictions, for sticking to their principles, unless the principles are different to ours. Getting a bit philosophical here :open_mouth:
