  I keep talking about this whenever it’s vaguely relevant to spread knowledge, especially amongst my fellow Brits.

  In the 1980s Thatcher, our then PM, decided to have a war with the National Union of Mineworkers…they were the largest union in the country and held too much power.

  So strikes went on for years and coppers were marking cars and pulling them over if thought that they were on their way to a strike….

  There was a strike at a coking plant in a place called Orgreave, and it was the complete opposite, with coppers even guiding people on where to park.

  So strikers are milling about, doing striker things, and the coppers attacked the strikers, then the BBC played the footage that they recorded backwards, to make it look like the strikers attacked the coppers. There was recently a documentary on it called Miners Strike 1984; The Battle for Britain, and a film on it called Faith.

  Yup. Its becoming progressively more common to have managers whose only skill is shouting and intimidation, no clue about the role that they manage.
