I keep talking about this whenever it’s vaguely relevant to spread knowledge, especially amongst my fellow Brits.

In the 1980s Thatcher, our then PM, decided to have a war with the National Union of Mineworkers…they were the largest union in the country and held too much power.

So strikes went on for years and coppers were marking cars and pulling them over if thought that they were on their way to a strike….

There was a strike at a coking plant in a place called Orgreave, and it was the complete opposite, with coppers even guiding people on where to park.

So strikers are milling about, doing striker things, and the coppers attacked the strikers, then the BBC played the footage that they recorded backwards, to make it look like the strikers attacked the coppers. There was recently a documentary on it called Miners Strike 1984; The Battle for Britain, and a film on it called Faith.

I dont think capitalism is being exploited. I think its doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Many capitalist countries have a lot of that now.

The most moral army in the world. Anything else is anti-Semitic.

When I was growing up I was taught that the government would do something about that…

Love his speeches. I’ve never heard someone say so many words, and yet say so little.

A few of the U.K. specific ones are as well. But then there are some subs pro Palestine.

If it’s not a war, is it still a war crime?
