Jeremy Paxman visits the mining community in Murton, County Durham, during #MinersStrike The clip is part of the BBC’s Panorama programme which aired #OnThisDay 1984.
During the #MinersStrike Arthur Scargill speaks to miners in Sunderland
#OnThisDay 1984. Arthur Scargill visits Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Scargill spoke to a crowd of 1,000 miners, their wives and children for the need of solidarity in the #MinersStrike
The #MinersStrike enters its eighth week #OnThisDay 1984. It is now the biggest stoppage in the industry since the General Strike of 1926.
At Chatterton they called it a ‘fight’. At Orgreave, a battle’. In reality, both were calculated, brutal acts of state violence against workers demanding a fair standard of living

#OnThisDay 1984. Arthur Scargill joins the picket line at Ollerton Colliery in Nottinghamshire.

Former mineworkers have to fight Govt for money taken from their pension scheme. A BEIS Select Cttee Inquiry raised many concerns about the unfairness of the 50/50 surplus sharing arrangement. "Govt. should not be in the business of profiting from miners pensions" #GiveItBack
#OnThisDay 1984. Arthur Scargill calls for a national demonstration in Nottinghamshire. All 27 pits in the area are reported as working normally during #MinersStrike
“It is an effort to try to relieve the very real hardship that is being felt by many miners’ families.” Neil Kinnock backs the Labour Party’s call for strike fund donations #OnThisDay 1984.

#OnThisDay 1984. Sixty pickets from county Durham try to stop the unloading of a Panamanian coaster with a cargo of French coal at Norwich. Two miners had seized a dinghy and tried to board the ship but were eventually stopped by police.
Saddened to hear of the passing earlier this month of George Rees, at the age of 88 years. He had a remarkable career as a miners' leader in many respects, and was General Secretary of the South Wales Area NUM from 1976 to 1997. 😞✊️⛏️🚩🏴
“The Government is trying to starve the miners back to work. These words are not used lightly.” #OnThisDay 1984. Labour Party general secretary, Jim Mortimer, explains why Labour is calling on its members to contribute towards the NUM strike fund.

From the Asian Youth Movements sending minibuses up to Orgreave to the Indian Workers' Associations organising street collections, South Asian solidarity was prominent during the miners' strike. I have a long read in this issue, detailing many of these stories for the first time
Our latest issue, ‘Civil War Without Guns,’ is out soon. Arthur Scargill, Seumas Milne, David Peace and more explore the social fabric that fought and sustained the miners’ strike, what we lost in defeat, and how we rebuild. Full year of print for £10: tribunemag.co.uk/subscribe/?cod…
