EASINGTON COLLIERY LABOUR STRONGHOLD - Are They Really Doing Enough ?

Easington Colliery - LABOUR STRONGHOLD
Easington has been a stronghold for Labour for as long as maybe anyone can remember.
Easington was a mining village with hard working proud people who took pride in their village. Still today many ex miners still live in Easington and still hold them old traditions strong.
This video is in no way meant to offend the people of Easington. It is more meant to open peoples eyes as to the state of the area we live and asking the question - "Are the people we voting for actually doing their jobs?"

Two comments, would have loved to watch that same footage 40 years ago before the decline, same route, same locations, then watch it again in twenty years from now. Very well documented NEE.

Thatcher ripped the heart out of Easington when she destroyed the Miners Livelihoods and left industrial wastelands in her wicked wake !

Labour have held this seat since 1922, then say no more.

I grew up in Easington and never have and never will vote Labour. I moved away in the late 90's for work and don't ever see myself moving back there. I remember that now demolished Catholic church being built in the early 80's. The street I grew up on was pulled down years ago as most people moved away to find work.

Welcome to paradise.

Not who but rather what is to blame. Look at Global capitalism, an economic system which puts money/profit first.

the school is in a area great for nature withen walking distance, should of made a science centre to fit the new green higher paying jobs not just close everything or knock it down. heck even a produce/farmers market for all the allotments round. no profit for the council i guess

Locals, how do you find living here? Is it super depressing or does it have a close knit community? Whats the crime like? Is there s problem with burglaries & car theft? I am thinking of moving to the area, I only want q quiet life & I don't need riches or glamour, but I do need a safe & friendly town.

What a terrible piece of journalism from someone who has no idea what it was like to be there around the time of the miner's strikes and having to suffer from the aftermath of what Thatcher did

[@williamswhistlepipes]
