About this Event

“Thatcher wanted to grind us into the dirt to show every worker in Britain what would happen if they stood up.”

Join the Scottish Socialist Youth's Lothian branch and friends for an afternoon of educational discussion about the Great Miners' Strike of 1984.

At this meet-up, we'll explore the greatest struggle between the working class and the ruling class in recent Scottish history. We'll also explore the legacy of Thatcher, and how she gave birth to the parties of both Starmer and Farage.
