Wednesday evening Dave Douglas will be in Glasgow talking about the 1984/85 miners strike, a monumental class struggle that showed just how far the state will go to crush any working class resistance. It was the Thatcher era, the cull on the working class.
Come along to the Fred Paton Centre, 19 Carrington St., G4 9AJ at 7pm and hear first hand experience of this legendary struggle, from a miner who was there and felt the wrath of the Thatcher state, come along and add your stories, ask questions, learn about your history. There will also be stalls and displays. an interesting and informative evening is guaranteed, and it is free.
Carrington Street is between Great Western Road and West Princes Street, near St George's Cross, Glasgow.
Dave talks in a Channel 4 special about what Thatcher meant to him:
stoking a fire of donated old shoes just to keep his family warm through
the winter.
