see the coal mine strike documentary on raddletube

it's probably the biggest expression of leftism, striking to keep mines open

and they have little choice

they all bought their houses in the mining community and then when thatcher closed the mines, their houses became worthless, but they had to keep paying the mortgage for the next 20-30 years even though they no longer had a job

the mining towns quickly became ghettos with no jobs and no way to get out after thatcher won the war (by spending billions of tax payer money to pay cops 3-5 times their usual salary to beat the shit out of miners everyday)
