She lied. Evidence was uncovered thst the government intervened during the Miner’s Strike to an unprecedented degree. There was much police collusion

As the police force is accountable to the executive, the word 'collusion' seems very much mis-applied, in this instance. As far as evidence of collusion goes, the NUM was known to have been colluding with Libyan terrorist groups, at the time, in one of Mr. Scargill's many mad adventures in the art of evading U.K. law. It was broadly accepted, at the time, that many coal mining families were privy to threats and intimidation against their families, from within trade unions. Mrs. Thatcher offered the NUM the highest pay increase of the 20th century (even when adjusting for inflation) but had these terms rejected due to the ideological capture of the mining unions by militant leftists who made the somewhat infantile decision to reject a deal that went beyond their expectations, simply because they 'didn't like her'. There are many interesting books on this period in history that I would suggest studying.

It is so refreshing to listen to this, people were allowed to speak freely without fear or shaming. If only they knew that later British native people would become a minority in their own capital, ruled by an anti-british mayor of Pakistani origin who prioritises islam events over christian events. The worst aspect of it, is how ridiculed Enoch Powell was for speaking out and accused of scare-mongering, yet it has turned out much worse, even the Labour MPs from that time would be horrified! We need our modern day Enoch Powell to turn the tide before it is totally lost.

I write in the comments for this video to ask: why did you turn off the comments for your video, "Odd man out / A film portrait of Enoch Powell"? Would be very interested to read your reasons. Much obliged.
@EugenusRexАй бұрын
It became too much of a burden to moderate; nearly every comment spurned an inappropriate argument that was often entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand. It's a pity, as I must note that there were many comment submissions that I found interesting and on the occasion, genuinely humorous. I do not own any rebroadcasting rights to that particular upload, all of which belong to the BBC, respectively (and of which they have already claimed). I have no real interest in maintaining that comment section, therein.

Enoch Powell was too intelligent and complexe-minded for modern times. People only want to see issues as simple alternative, black/white, good/evil - and Labour members in 1980 were very much as everybody is today. Are you a racist, yes or no? Nothing else matters. If you dare speak more than thirty seconds (or in writing, use long periodic sentences), people will lose the thread. This is childish and barbaric, but that's how the modern world works, the famous "age of science" (and of illiteracy, too). In the case of this speech, it shows clearly how, after a few minutes, the Labour MPs no longer understood what Powell meant, they were unable to grasp his point, and only wanted to know if his speech was a "bad speech" (ie racist) or not (ie of universal benevolence). They do not care if the UK's population is changing radically. They do not care about the future. And that was 1980. Why react now in 2024 to something that has been going on for more than 44 years ?
@J2020-sv3fqАй бұрын
The conduct of the Labour Parliamentary Party during this parliament was just abysmal. The backdrop to this speech was just a cacophony of near-berserk incoherence. She really did get under their skin. Lived in their heads rent-free.
