I lived in a mining community at the time ( none of my family were miners), but I had friends whose family were and I saw first hand the devastation the strike wreaked. I also knew someone whose OH was Dibble, he was a thug in uniform. The met were to blame for Orgreave, the first thing Thatcher did after being elected 3/5/79 was give them a bloody massive pay rise. It was always her plan to close the mines- she hated unions.

The loss of that solid industry still has huge repercussions today 40 years on.

Shut down industries with no thought of the communities devastated by unemployment, whether it’s fishing, manufacturing, mining, steelwork & pretend that’s how capitalism works but bail out banks & billionaires in an instant.

Any chance we can keep politics out of football threads please? It's ruining the forum for loads of us.

It would be like selling your house 30 years ago to rent & realising why you don’t have a pot to piss in.

I'm not sure that's possible nowadays tbh. Although I can't see link to the miners strike TBF.

Not quite media as such, but these cunts are at it again…
I’ve not brought a pizza from them since the 115 free pizzas for united fans and never will again.



2 of their last 5 tweets have been about City too. Think their PR department needs sacking as all they post about is football.

The Telegraph is seriously anti City. And their articles are blatantly anti Muslim, anti Arab. Their chief sportswriter was banned from attending the Joshua v Dubois fight last week due to a tirade against the Saudi’s in the week leading up to it. It’s a toxic publication

And today published a toxic anti Muslim article penned by badenoch
