Support for the Wansbeck MP
about that. Nothing like that in America! When they saw the Cooperage they were literally speechless and took countless photographs.
They lapped up the history, the inside and everything about it.
When it finally closed I asked of a colleague how long before it burned down! It happens. Please let us do everything we can to preserve this historic landmark. S BEST, Forest Hall WE fully support Ian Lavery MP against the smear campaign to which he is being subjected.
Even the regulator imposed by the Thatcher anti-union legislation found that he had done nothing wrong, and even the BBC, of Orgreave infamy, broadcast its latest attack on him in the graveyard shift that is Newsnight on a Thursday when Question Time is on.
Those who resent a national politician with Mr Lavery’s accent, or lack of a university degree, or whatever the supposed problem may be, are OUT of the earth they came From deep underground Stepping out of the cage Into the light of day Pitmen, men and boys Black with dust Another shift over Homeward bound They were there waiting Standing in their path Come and join us lads Sign up today, fight for your country The soldiers did say Robert stepped forward Signed his name Little did he know He would not see home again. Men and boys marched off to war Wives and mothers watched from their doors just going to have to grow up and get over it.
