To be fair, I wasn't working there on a day when the miners turned up.

Screwed our the car industry.

Such as inflation out of control and workers with a need to keep a roof over their heads and feed their families you mean .

Things are much better today thankfully , we now have foodbanks to save people from starvation .

The government is working on the ever growing number of homelessness I believe .

I know that you have your eyes squeezed tightly shut and your fingers in your ears when faced with challenge or the notion that you may not be the paragon of virtue that you believe yourself to be, but surely you could at least have a go at some of my questions about national ballots, mass picketing, secondary picketing, the killing of a taxi driver etc.?

Have a go at the many questions me and others on here have asked you first over the years which you choose not to answer. I'll warn you there's a bit of a backlog. Good luck with it.

Have a look back at some of the questions from such as mmm, pup, some of the Barnsley guys. I could go on but I don't want to over face you. Take your time.

Why do you suppose inflation was out of control? It was down in large part to unfettered public spending, union driven wage increases that were not matched by increases in productivity and a lax control on the money supply. Labour's current policies would be likely to deliver exactly the same situation.

So that's a no then? No answers? Not even a expression of empathy you claim to value so much for the family of the taxi driver killed by Hancock and Shankland? You are going all sulky and taking your ball home instead?

Your ball was taken home a long time ago owd lad...

Come on, Roly.

You picketed Hadfields during a dispute with British Steel. You must have thought that justified and acceptable. Surely you can articulate why?

Take no notice he has a one tracked political mind. The only political party in Britain is the Labour party. Actually I think he has a secret liking for Corbyn because he can only comment on his policies. Come out Kerr don't be ashamed...

I hope you are not trying to bully me kerr 2 car style (which you completely got wrong) it's not nice.

How can asking how you thought your actions were justified amount to bullying? You are making no sense. Surely, you'd be shouting your justification from the rooftops if you had one

As for Labour being the only party - obviously not - but certainly the one most likely to cause untold damage, with policies such as the seizure of 10% of every decent sized public company.
