    No-one is saying all police were perfect or that all the strikers were thugs but there can be no excuse for the scenes we witnessed daily on our screens of violence and intimidation by pickets aimed at people going to work. The Trade Union movement in the 60's. 70's and early 80's epitomised bullying and intimidation whether it was on picket lines or in mass meetings. Once secret ballots were introduced it seriously limited their bullying tendencies.

    Incidentally - I was a Union member for a period in the 70's though a respectable one that had cleaned up its act thanks to Eric Hammond and Frank Chapple.
