A newspaper account


of an event that happened on this date in 1934.

Bloody Thursday

All blame, as usual, was thrown on the strikers and sympathisers. History may have a more balanced and honest view. Things have not changed since. It has never been the employer's plan to treat employees fairly and honestly, only to make as much money as possible and resist in any way any attempt to interfere with that.

The working class and the business class have nothing in common....
