No irony please, we're British!

I like your take on history Brian. Have you ever seen an old movie called The Strike, from Peter Richardson et all famed of The Comic Strips Presents.

From the IMDB: "A British screen-writer (Sayle) sells his adaptation rights to the American movie industry, the script is about the miners strike in 1984. The Hollywood hypocrites want the miners to win the strike, and so they hire the writer to re-write the ending with Al-Pacino playing the main role as the union leader."

I suspect you'd enjoy that movie. And check our profiles - we're all based in London (even if our overlords are across the Atlantic)!
