My Grandma attacking a "scab" 1984 miners strike (England, Yorkshire)
Many people might be familiar with the miners strike in the mid 80s.
If not, a little context.
About three-quarters of the country's 187,000 miners went on strike to oppose the pit closures, which were expected to mean 20,000 job losses. This fight was against, then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
The man pictured went to work betraying the whole purpose of the strike. Gran took her shoe off in the street and hit him over the head several times.
