This documentary is really well made it is extremely well made but it is entirely
mythologizing the miners as some kind of special human group which
others cannot possibly understand . The problem is here it is based entirely on a false
premise Mrs Thatcher did not wage wars on the miners she had no interest in the miners the
miners were lower-class people people she despised . In her worldview only the wealthy matter
45 years after she visited these shores the British Isles the place is destroyed shredded
nobody under the age of 40 will ever be able to afford housing she turned houses into investment
opportunities leaving the generations which come after unable to ever buy a home for themselves.
She destroyed dental care which was free and available to all before she destroyed higher education she set the wheels in motion for privatization of practically everything public transport which used to be always average but adequate in the UK after coming to power became bit by bit more and more expensive more and more unreliable she is entirely to blame for all of this there are no positive aspects of Mrs Thatcher's in her time in power she was like Attila the Hun in a skirt .
Now what we have to look at here is who was she really targeting she was not targeting the miners she was targeting Arthur Scargill and the unions she was targeting the power of the working class her entire time in power was class war she wanted to destroy and subjugate the bottom half of the population and she did that very very well people who admire her usually people in the top third of the of the earning population
respect her for that she made the wealthy wealthier the same process was going on at the same time in the USA a country run at the time by an ijut called Ronald Reagan both of these people Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were in fact following the moronic writings of Milton
Friedman and the Chicago School which is still followed in 2025 by the current Argentinian head
of state. Okay moving back to the miners this shows communities of people in the north
of England, Scotland, Kent, Wales, the northeast who were basically living in what looks to us now in 2025 like something out of a Dickensian period in little houses covered in coal dust
working in jobs which were so dangerous and many examples are given here of people who died in the mines which really quite frankly you cannot have nostalgia for but they seem to they have that, kind of generations of slaves underground slaves the mistake that was made was not to shut down the mines the mistake that was made was to despise the human group there and therefore not find any replacement job-wise you cannot take away people's livelihood like that completely and do nothing about it this was inhuman inhumane this is where it showed the true evil witch character of the prime minister of the times
Showing the guys getting back there in 2023 was interesting because you see them all probably
around the age of 60 or something and they're all fairly well dressed they don't look like they lost you know everything in the war but they still are nostalgic for this which to anybody who doesn't do that job looks like absolutely unbearable conditions of work
So the documentary here is extremely well put together interviewing some of the police people
who were there some of them quite shocked by what they were asked to do showing the scam and the lies which them their management and the government forced them into you cannot possibly tell people that you brought three quarters of the police force of England and Wales and that you really meant to be dealing a fair treatment to the people targeted.
After Arthur Scargill and the unions lost to Margaret Thatcher they lost in 1984 and they lost for good after attila the hun in a skirt went by the country was never the same again
it is now all about money all about one-upmanship it's not quite the usa but it's trying hard to be I personally lived that entire period in the UK and to this day loath the woman absolutely profoundly loath the woman anybody who is interested in social rights in class struggle
in social history will really like this but I still think it is slightly skewed
as it is not naming the real enemy that she called "the enemy within" it was not the miners it was socialism she absolutely loathed socialism communism her favorite line was "there is no such thing as society" when you have that kind of belief you can destroy entire communities and not feel a thing and that is the kind of monster we were faced with in 1984 until
her being kicked out on the 22nd of november 1990 a day I still celebrate 🙃😉
