Gary - I know nothing about your personal role in that strike. What I do know about is about the intimidation, violence and thuggery of the pickets and flying pickets to those miners who went to work. For that the strikers deserve contempt. It happened in Dover, there was something about a house in East Cliff being vandalised because the occupant wanted to work.
Did you speak out against that intimidation and did you oppose the violence on the picket line? Did you argue in favour of the right of those who wanted to work to do so? If you did then you personally would deserve my respect even if you was on strike yourself.
The police had a duty to prevent breaches of the peace and to help those who wish to work go about their lawful way. They did what they needed to do and should have done.
