The Miners Strike 40 years on
To all my comrades who have passed thank you for the support you gave to the people in your Communities and to the brothers you work and fought with.
To the Fantastic Women who were behind ind us throughout the Year where we were fed and Tea’d and coffee’d although we lost the strike you were the greatest part of the whole year and beyond where you continued to fight for the Real Heroes the men who lost there jobs.
To you the Sacked Miners the day I went back to work behind the Brass band was the hardest saddest day of my then young life I wept knowing you weren’t coming back to work. But thanks to your union and the women’s support we got most of you back to work.
I’d also thank the support from the unlikely places LGBT community and the working people of Britain
And to all the support from all over the world
Most especially to our Comrades from the South African mining community who gave what they had Thanks
Finally they’re both sadly not here to Bob and Mary ( red Meg) my fantastic Mum and Dad
Who raised me to think that there’s things more important than self miss and love you all.
Coal not Dole
The Miners united will never be defeated
NUM till I die
