when labour gained power in the mid 70,s the first thing they did was give the miners a 35% pay rise followed by another 35% the next year

thatcher stopped the school milk for 7 to 11 year olds however she wasn,t the only one when harold wilson stopped the school milk for 11 to 16 year old before that

the miners strike was not north south divide the kent miners were last to go back to work
but what did labour do for the miners after the strike when the ousted maggie
nothing
they brought the miners with those payrises
and the sofy sods couldnt see they had been brought
short term gain long time pain

labour and the mines couldnt afford those pay rises
hence why it was cheaper eventually to buy it in
