I love it when thames posts stuff like this, we need more 60s to 80s films like this.
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Zander Raylan Instablaster ;)
Remember when interviewees were respectful and listened to one another, even when they hated each other's guts?
Yeah only because they're kept at opposite ends of the table with a bloke in the middle!
this is the best channel!!
And they wonder why Maggie got elected.
They knew exactly why: so petty managerial and financial tyrants could take control of England.
England was once a Heptarchy, now it is a Plutarchy
Scargill appears to have the same barber as Trump.
16:00 that’s Bear Grylls’ father.
"I'm going to drink my own piss"
Nice one lads 👍
They picketed themselves right out of a bloody job. It’s a wonder any coal was mined at all.....every time you turned around the miners were on strike.
Long live the Iron Lady!!
Yep, thanks for doubling VAT Maggie
20:02 ,totally agree with Michael Gryll's "crude trade union power " . What he says is what was going to happen in 1984 .
Well they got what they wanted, vast majority of British steel and other industry is shut down. Sure those that are still alive are very proud of themselves 👍
If striking gets your industry shut down, then you must ask yourself why you still have a car, buses, trains, posties and doctors
@TheCam920 well with cars, buses and trains there will always be alternative businesses willing to step in and fill the void when a company's workers go on strike. Which is exactly what has happened. With the postal service, governments will have an element of say and ensure they don't collapse, same with health care.
Although it's not entirely the strikers' fault of course, it's still frustrating to see the collapse of these industries that could have provided jobs for these workers' children and grandchildren, and the stubborn belief that these industries couldn't possibly disappear. But they have and the country was severely damaged by that.
And a chunk of that responsibility is in the striking workers' hands.
God how daft was all this ..... "Hello strike control" I want fooer men at Stanton and Staveley, 2 at Kiveton Wire....and 4 at Tansley.
The tosspots brought Britain's industry to its knees......well done lads
Agreed, these guys are the real reason why Britain lost its industry. They shut things down and it never really recovered.
Similar to whats happening now.
Yeah. Things were loads better before unions got too big for their boots. I remember 19th Century. It were great.
@@grahamjohn678 if only you were right, they helped shut more car plants, steelworks and pits than any govt on its own
And now we've got loads of Amazon warehouses with bogus self employment and no unions
@@grahamjohn678 Correct, and all at the mercy of a shithouse populist government, the worst in history....
My mother worked for the Coal Board in the 1970s, and she was telling me once how she resented being *made* to go on strike. I asked her (I was just a naïve kid) why she didn't go to work if she wanted to. She laughed and said "Because there were men with iron bars and pick-axe handles who'd stop you!"
Watching this film - it's amazing how open and unashamed the Unions were that the entire picketing strategy was about intimidation.
@8:46 is that Peter Cushing ? hahaha
Ay up lad! By gum tis grim oop north
Excellent. We need to return to a more assertive TU movement. From the days when people were respected at work, there were no homeless people at every city and sizeable town street corner and no need for food banks.
Nice bouffant there Arthur lad!
Oh yes they almost closed our plant perminent many men had to look for work in order to pay Their mortgages
At least you had mortgages...what have working age people as a majority got today?
@@Ukipmiddleleft scargill didn't go without.
Old Arthur and his massive bank account. True Union man. Do as I say, not as I do. 👏🏼
For all his flaws, he tried to stick up for the working class. Meanwhile Thatcher was busy privatising the NHS, increasing unemployment/ homelessness and giving the privileged millionaires and billionaires tax breaks. Were living under her shadow to this day.
New car as a gift,does anyone remember what car and from who?
The difference between the 1970s and 80s was that home produced coal no longer had a monopoly in the energy market so this strike was doomed from the start.
Unions, where are they now?
@@rjhtrucking5429 That is right. Exploitation and ignoring workers rights gets you nowhere

Trade unions are no more responsible for the state of British industry than the England manager is responsible for the England football's poor international record...yes, they do things that exacerbate problems but the underlying issues are poor investment, poor management at the highest and lowest levels..etc etc...poor organisation...
Watch videos on this channel about the EEA/EEC. They predicted loss of British industry in the 70s.
480p? Do you guys need some money for a better camera setup and intels i9? Patreon can help
You do understand this was filmed in 1980, 39 years ago? What would be the point in uploading it in HD, just to waste bandwidth?
