Allways having had sympathy for the downtrodden and underdog,a great british trait i'm told.I remembered my Dad taking me to a meeting were Arthur Scargill was the speaker.It was after the defeat of the miners by the Thatcher.But he wasnt a beaten man.The mainstream media had isolated him to a section-olised corner,a typical Murdochian way we are all now familiar with.So tonight i went searching for were he is today.I was surprised to find out he's still active and unrepentant,not that he should be.And fighting the cause of the Shrewsbury pickets,Ricky tomlinson and co.A just cause in it's own right.Thinking back about my dad and the flat cap unions he was i feel it was better then.Wages might have been crap but you could buy more for your money.Arthur is still tyring to keep alive the old socialist labour policey.And why not ?Look at the state of the new one.Arthur.If your putting a candidate in my area you've got my vote.
