History always repeats itself
" Our determination to resist a strike emboldened the ordinary trade unionist to defy the militants. What the strike's defeat established was that Britain could not be made ungovernable by the Fascist Left. Marxists wanted to defy the law of the land in order to defy the laws of economics. They failed, and in doing so demonstrated just how mutually dependent the free economy & a free society really are. It is a lesson no one should forget. "
So wrote Margaret Thatcher after the end of the miners' strike in 1985.
Whilst I'm not suggesting that Bassa are intent on defying the law, this time, I think you'll all agree that the rest still applies.
