All this trouble and fighting with Police are they all on drugs. Years back when people went on a demo there was never any fighting with Police and there was never any deaths or was there ?

It was a Thursday, but many employed workers had taken the day off to show solidarity with the unemployed. When mounted and foot police launched a series of truncheon charges, the workers fought back with banner poles and torn-up park railings.

Three days later, a second demonstration of 150,000 assembled in Trafalgar Square. Again, the police attacked, the workers fought back, and speeches continued from the platform.

Two days after that, a third demonstration battled police cordons to reach Parliament and present a million-signature petition. 80,000 workers broke through. Running battles continued across the West End into the night.

basically because to get it from our own mines, or industries was hard because the unions had previous governments during the 60s and 70s by the B^iis.. It was the Unions which put those industries to sleep ..How can any industry work when the workers won't actually do anything? At the cowley works in oxford 1/3 of the workers worked whilst the other 2/3 played cards.. the unions were quite happy to go along with this and when the management wanted to share out the work more evenly the union stopped it.. the 1/3 who were working who were also union members were always outvoted. do you remember Red Ken? What a To55er..
