"I remember exactly what went on in that strike".
I assume you are saying you remember the strike by watching it on TV or by reading about it somewhere.
That is not Knowing.
I very much doubt you made the effort to actually see it for yourself in person. So you have no right to make such comments as the above.
I did, I lived it, I know first-hand what it was like and you clearly know nothing about it.
"There was no excuse for the violence and intimidation committed by the strikers".
Why do you only vent at the strikers?
Could it be the same reason you always vent on those on benefits, those unemployed, those on the streets, the vulnerable amongst us?
You never paint the full picture do you, you never take in the whole truth, only the bits that suit you and what you think makes you look good and prove's your point. Thats quite sad really because if you never look at the full picture, whether you agree with it or not, you will never understand it, never learn from it.
Me, I have already condemned the violence and intimidation that happened from all parties, during the strike. I don't need to keep repeating that, I hate violence.
