An appeal to Londoners who supported the miners:
My name is Davey Hopper. I am the North East Area secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers and would like to get in touch with London folk who were involved in the miners support groups when the strike happened 25 years ago (on March 12).
These are the areas (below) where support groups /supporters sprung up:
Barnet, Brentford, Camden, Chiswick, Croydon, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hampstead, Hammersmith, Hendon, Highgate, Hounslaw, Islington, Kingston, Lewisham, Leyton, Muswell Hill, Newham, Crouch End, Pimlico, Poplar, Potters Bar, Richmond, Twickenham, Southwick, Sydenham, Forest Hill, Waltham Forest, Walthamstow, Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Haringey, Aylesham.
Can you circulate this letter among all of the labour movement bloggers you know, please - and ask them to put out the appeal.
Thank you.
Davey Hopper

Peckfield Colliery disaster Micklefield 1896 I recall reading about this around 70 years later in copies of The Yorkshire Post in Leeds Central library.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
