St Pauli If I can assume that it was you what shouted it BBTL, can I just say you've gone way up in my estimation.
The question is, were you alive in 1985? (Sub question: Is it possible to judge groups of people in past events that happened in a time when one wasn't alive?)
St Pauli, I think if you're going to use slogans such as "84/85- Never Forgive, Never Forget." then you should indeed use quotation marks.
Otherwise it suggests that the slogan portrays your own feelings, when clearly you are merely parroting the feelings of others.
As you've already pointed out, the mining strike had nothing to do with you therefore who exactly would require
your forgiveness is a mystery.
As you've already mentioned, you weren't even alive at the time. You can remember it as a documented, historical event, if you like but to remember it as some sort of emotional grievance is a bit
.
Avon Royal's "
" was very much correct in this case.
