It's heartbreaking to watch this knowing that Durham and Yorkshire have just given an upper class scoundrel a massive mandate to do exactly what he wants to them. The North doesn't remember. The North Forgets

The industrial backbone of Britain was built upon the sweat of these men and women. The very life force of a nation owed its very existence to the toil and pain and so often death of organized labour who buried into the ground to force out the fuel that made Britain. There is no greater tribute than this track. The sound of mankind working for one cause.

I absolutely love this piece and it brings on an emotional reaction in me. The footage shown is from my local city and I go to the Miners Gala/Big Meeting every year. The pageantry and the bands, memories of how coal mining built our region and how it was decimated, leaving whole swaths of the North jobless and poor. We're still recovering from Thatchers time. The Miners Gala is a big get together of local people and those from further afield, in memory of those who built our economic strength, often at the hands of exploitative bosses and governments. It makes me immensely proud to see this tradition of trade unionism and community togetherness so strong in these days of uncertainty and strife. Long live The Durham Miners Gala - Solidarity Comrades.

The late 20's, the Dirty 30's: In the face of world-wide privation, lives lost, dreams smashed, this historic footage shows how indomitable was hope in the human spirit. The solemn score is a moving tribute to the British brass band tradition, yielding to the organ at the entrance into the cathedral, the very space where this recording was done. In the background, high soft sustained notes evoking the keening of Northumbrian pipes.... We take for granted today so many rights and benefits that never existed before the labour movement. The struggle was long and hard and is not in fact over. We must stay vigilant not to lose our rights as the world grows politically darker yet again.

I remember finding this video 10 years ago... alone and afraid, just a child. Now, 10 years later and somewhat the wiser, I return to this video and recognize the true weight of its message. I am still afraid, but I know that I am not alone. You have worded it so eloquently. Anyone living in a Democracy should know that the very system they live under and - as you say, take for granted - is fragile. Rights that were fought for with the blood, sweat and tears of the people, literally and figuratively, can be taken away with little to no decorum. I am afraid that history has come back to bite us. We have forgotten our strengths. Apathy and hate fester. May we remember what is worth fighting for. May we remember and once again come to respect community and unity. May we heal from what has been and will continue to occur - the division, the disparity, the grief of it all. Let us not despair.
