Much of this is entirely new to me, Helen. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this history. All I had were romantic memories of the miners strikes. Like this one, from So Good It Hurts, 1986, which I transcribe from memory, from me, to you.

Johnny Miner, you were born
Never to see the rising dawn
No it's time that you were gone
Goodbye Johnny Miner.

And goodbye Durham, Yorkshire too
Nottingham the same to you
Scotland, South Whales buried, too
Goodbye Johnny Miner

...

Goodbye John, don't take it hard
Unemployment isn't bad(?)
They'll treat you well in the knackers yard
Goodbye Johnny Miner.

Mekons.
