Scargills, refused the miners to carry out mainence work, which normally was carried on previous strikes.
When strikers return mines were flood and in some case unecomical to pump dry.

There is a huge anomaly in Britain; and probably in Aus. People run down the young ones who wont work, but look what happened when they did, GOvt crackdown when they wanted a fair days pay for a fair days work, bosses manipulating the workforce to get Govt hand outs. I was glad I worked in the times that I did strikes or no strikes at least we did something about it, now as most know they expect it on a plate if someone else takes the strain, it's only something they learned from the way the rich get their $billions.

For those who still have doubts about Brexit and think the EU so good should listen to the news as to what is happening in Europe
just now. Those lovely people in Brussels are also threatening to destroy the Hungarian economy is they don't tow the EU line.

Wonderful 'innit ?

Yes, I was part of BAOR stationed for 2 years in Berlin. At that time we had the British, US and French controlled sectors. Outside of Germany the UK had troops based in a wide range of countries, HK, South Yemen, Libya (where I served after Berlin) Cyprus, the area known as Puntland in Somalia, Singapore. Regards.

#95 you weren’t stationed in Aden when the pilot boat was sunk were you . I sailed with an ex Hogarths master who sank it and his story was they were singled up at the bunkering berth with the pilot on board , when there was trouble ashore and the pilot refused to take the ship out , he then got back into the cutter. The master then informed the mate on the forecastle to chop the last line to the buoy and went merrily on his way out into the Red Sea and cutting the pilot cutter in two in the process . Needless to say he never returned to Aden again to my knowledge , unless of course he changed his name , about the only excuse I can think of for justly doing so. JS

I see farmers across EU up in arms about prices they are paid for goods.
Similar here in Oz, farmers say what they get is no reflection of supermarket prices.
Claim they are too high so our gov has instigated an enquiry into pricing structure.
Biden has made the same claim in USA.
But it is all about supply and demand..
Our BOM said an El Nino was coming, hot and dry so many farmers cut down on stock levels, meat prices at the farm gate dropped.
But El Nino never arrived, but the other costs associated with meat prices such as processing remain the same.

#97. That's not the only thing they are pissed off about. Grants being withdrawn , tax concesions removed , ridiculous agenda
for drastic reduction of nitrogen gasses , compulsory expropriation to name just a few. Note these are all Brussels programs.

and, is this a decision taken by the elected MPs, or actions by the unelected commission?

From what I heard speaking with a bunch of local farmers here , most probably the latter .

sounds about right, seems to me that it is the commission that runs the show, not the elected officials.
