All the old bitterness, all the old hate. People like this still haven't moved on.

The days when the National Union of Mineworkers (or any trade union for that matter) mattered to Britain are long, long gone. In the 1980's the UK population woke up to their corruption, their anti democratic activities and their failure. We live now in a world so much better without forces like the NUM.

In 2011 the union had just 1,855 remaining members In 2012 the union's General Secretary, Chris Kitchen, admitted that it was in decline after the investigative website Exaro revealed that in 2011 the Derbyshire branch of the NUM had just one member who was not a paid official. Filings with the Trades Union Certification Officer showed that the NUM's Derbyshire branch had just four members, three of whom were paid officials.

The Durham miners gala is a sad hangover from the days when the NUM held the country to ransom every winter.
