    I well remember being out on strike for 7 weeks in 1977. We didn't stay at home, we continued our normal shift patterns and parked our cars up on the forecourts. We put BA sets in the boots of our cars and told the army if they were turned out to any incident where there was a life risk, we would be right behind them in our cars and would effect any rescues involved. No one's life would be put at risk, even if we were on strike. The Labour Government heard about what we were doing and instructed Lancs CC to lock the doors so that we couldn't access the BA sets, nor re-charge them. The Labour government preferred to have people burning to death in their own homes to use as a propaganda tool to break the strike. Like I keep telling you mon ami, two cheeks of the same arse, you haven't got a clue.

    And it didn't work either, did they really think they could keep Burnley firemen out of their own fire station when the lives of Burnley folk were at risk ? Presumably the dumb-****s did, but that's Lefties for you.

    You share the same soundbites as Keir Starmer sinkov.

    He does not want people "inconvenienced" by picket lines either.

    Let's sort out the here and now eh mon ami, not 1977, nor Ted Heath, nor Margaret f*cking Thatcher.
