It wasn't all bad - I remember the miner's strike fondly. My dad was a London copper - him and his colleagues were bussed up north and earnt huge amounts of overtime oppressing the miners. I got a new XR3 for my 21st birthday. Bless you, Arthur
The above post utterly disgusts me. To selfishly revel in the misfortune of others is beyond contempt.
Where have I heard that kind of drivel before?
You will be amongst friends on this site for sure, but I will not be singing your tune.
It is a fact that the police earned a lot of money through overtime, and obviously people benefited from that extra money...........where is the problem with that?
The miners lost almost everything and some gained a lot.........the way of the world I would say.
As has been said already..........." the Socialist Republic of Swinging Heaven ".
Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze. :twisted:
I get so tired of hearing the same old tune over and over and over and over......:sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:
Yes a lot of police benefitted financially through the extra overtime and there is nothing wrong with that in principal but for someone to actually "look back fondly" and gloat when others lost so much is what I find so disgusting.
Also some might say that if the police hadn't been so heavyhanded and devious in their policing of the strike, the civil war it became may not have lasted so long in which case they would not have earned so much in overtime
