Al Bundy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Going with my Dad to a pit when they were on strike, as he was an electrician and was contacted to test the alarms and sirens. The miners were threatening to beat him up if he went in and basically chased the car down the street. Goodness knows what would have happened if they caught us. Windows being put through if a vote conservative poster was on show. Been a Tory ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Didn't take much interest in politics, my brother said I couldn't be impressed. I've always believed in the right to go into work and the right not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth can Kier Starmer be a political influence? Because he has got what it takes to be a leader of a Political Party unlike the girls blouse we have at the moment.
