The post you are reporting:
Roger.
Your post is exactly what I find offensive and so blinkered.
When Maggie goes and you do not have to remind me that she is still here, I will send her on her way with a pint and a few personnel words. I am not a barbaric neanderthal, I am just an ordinary ex Kent Miner.
I was not sat on a fence when our mines were being closed, so I know a damn site more about the facts than you did or do so even now.
Yes, working down the mine's was a terrible job and it took a certain calibre of man to take on what was a hard and dangerous occupation but it would have been ten times worse if our fathers and grand fathers had not fought for better condition's for us to take over when their day was done,
You would call that "militancy", we knew that to be "pride and concern" from very brave people who cared not for themselves but for others who would follow in their footsteps.
It is time you looked at the content of the threads and absorb what is actually being said, instead of dismissing everything as rubbish coming from the other side,you might actually learn something.
Steve Manion, is a friend that I have been very happy to work with over the last few years and I have many other friends who vote Tory, I take people for who they are not for who they vote for and I do not need you to point people like Steve, out to me.
I have even congratulated you on several occasions over your passion for Dover and told people they should get behind you and work together with you.
It is a shame you feel the need the point out good and bad in everyone, because again you need to look closer to home with tarring everyone with the same brush.
