This actor knocked it out of the park as Ted.
May I guess your nationality?
@@drottercat request pending lmfao
It is as pending as the guess is obvious.
@@drottercat Why does it even matter
this scene really does a great job SHOWING the differences between those at the top, and those who have to work to keep themselves from hitting rock bottom
So glad this is finally on YT! IMO it is one of the most memorable scenes from The Crown involving the PM.
I dont remember if heath got much screentime either, such a good scene and actors
Keep it coming with the crown videos.
I remember the three-day week well. I spent the extra couple of days off shooting rabbits to make a bit of beer money, and never went without. Three days wages meant I paid little or no income tax, so I was no worse off.
A lot of people were worse off!
@@khankrum1 Indeed they were, but it wasn't my fault and there was nothing I could do about it. All anyone could do was take care of themselves and hope for the best.
The son of a Northumberland coal miner great grand son nephew cousin of a coal miner on both sides. a horrible place I remember the power cuts thank fuck I got out of town
We did our homework by candlelight
The Miner’s were right, they were risking their lives to do a job that was essential to the future of the country. If the Conservative Party didn’t want the Miner’s to have that much power they shouldn’t have allowed the electrical grid to rely on coal.
It was the Conservative Party that fought living wage increases and yet also protected the coal and train industries, preventing modernization.
Had the miners received the wages they deserved coal would have rapidly become much more expensive and other energy sources, like nuclear, more appealing.
So the Conservative Party's policy toward the Miners prevented the rapid modernization of the British energy sector?
The Conservative Party can normally be found standing in the way of modernisation @@Banff454park
Foolish comment. Coal became cheaper from overseas and miners failed to recognise that. They lived in the past. Demanding more money for inefficient pits.
The miners and other energy sectors held this country to ransom. They got what they deserved in the end. Not to forget we were moving away from coal . Scargill got battered and made the union members suffer. He had an ego that was too big.
So, what was the British electrical grid supposed to rely on in 1972?
Que saudade da terceira temporada
Did the miners really want their sons working that terrible job?
Yes. I have family in former mining villages. Many there haven't worked in generations.
@@peanutbutterbruv they should move them.
That is the advice I gave, and on an individual level it is fair. However, it is not viable for everyone who lives in such towns to move. We are in the middle of a housing crisis, there are simply not enough homes. Diversifying the economy is a far better solution.
@@peanutbutterbruv many shut 30 years ago. It ain’t coming back. Mining shouldn’t be romanticised.
@@kb4903 well no shit Sherlock.
Great video! Miners have the right to strike and be heard.
Didn’t go very well though.
The miners were striking for a 35% pay rise. They didn’t get it directly, but the Labour government elected a few months later gave it them. And then had to give ANOTHER 35% pay rise a year later because the miners would otherwise destroy their government in turn. This supercharged inflation leading to the Stirring Crisis and eventually the Winter of Discontent.
That put the Conservatives in power for 18 years.
Simultaneously it made the government completely distrust miners and undertake steps to bypass them. Coal reserves were created, and power stations were converted to run on other fuels (you can burn oil in a coal power plant with some extra equipment) and new gas power stations built.
Next time the miners tried to strike the miners lost, badly, and that spat all but destroyed the British coal mining industry.
@HALLish-jl5mo The Conservatives didn't handle the miner's strike very well in 1984 and used the police to put them down with violence, and that turned the public against the Tories. W
Also, Conservatives ha d a bad habit of union busting and suppressing workers' rights. They weren't and have never supported working class people or the rights of workers.
@@HALLish-jl5mo No now the UK is reliant upon foreign energy!
@@HALLish-jl5mo Very interesting, thanks for the history lesson.
When a government says workers may not strike, the government is saying that it considers those workers to be rightfully slaves.
Is the PM Edward Heath?
yes
Is the other actor playing Arthur Scargill?
@@minimaxi802 with the coal? well, the subtitle calls him that
@@minimaxi802 The President of the NUM in 1973 was Joe Gormley. Arthur Scargill didn't feature until the early 1980s.
Not a single government I can remember has worked for the good of all.
British middle and upper middle class have always been a pest.
You have no idea
how much time and money has been spent
by people you despise
to try and retain working class jobs.
Parts of my family
spent a fortune.

A good example of don’t bite the arm that feeds you. Certainly demand what is fair for everyone to work together effectively, but no more.
It's labor that feeds the government. Not the other way around.
What is fair for everyone to work together effectively and no more. Do you suppose the Bezos and Musks of the world are paid fair, and no more?
@@unclejoeoakland I would venture musk has more to offer than bezos in the way of innovation. After all Musk private ventures has done a far greater service to the public interest than Bezos or your other standard Billionaire. Heck Musk sold all his investment properties and largely lives in his office. The object wealth doesn’t concern him. That’s why it’s important to discern between wealth creators and wealth hoarders. Wealth creators invest their earnings back into society, while wealth hoarders are simply on a race to the top.
Heath was clueless. Probably the dumbest PM until Liz Truss.
Scargill was the worst thing to happen to the miners.
And the labour movement in general
@@eliazarcone which one! This was under the tories and then again in 1980s
tories are the worst
============================
Miners destroyed their own industry
============================
All the union reps I've ever met were upper-middleclass midwits who got hot and bothered by reading Karl Marx in college and are determined to be loved parasocially by strangers for being secular saints because they lack the character to be loved intimately by the families they reject and companionately by the "partners" they use and are used by for short-term eros-centric gains. In contrast, the people they pretend to represent are generally hard-working, God-fearing family folk who endure hell to sustain their loved ones.
How labor disputes are to be resolved or who should win out is not for me to say but, all my experience has taught me that union bureaucrats tend to be narcissistic, bourgeois brats with savior complexes that need someone to envy and someone else to thrash against them.
But was that the case in 1973?
@@Elitist20
Ask Fyodor Dostoevsky. Union reps tend to be midwit intellectuals (like this guy, who resorts to class struggle, the historically ignorant brainchild of Marx) and said intellectuals have changed little in hubris since the inception of the intelligentsia as a social class.
@@Elitist20
Perhaps not to the extent now but, they've always been co-opted by intellectuals, as demonstrated by that rep's deference to class struggle to denigrate the government official. Only such myopic midwits read Marx's ahistorical perspective and think, _"This is how it is."_
@@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq. Mick McGahey, Joe Gormley, Lawrence Daly and Arthur Scargill, NUM leaders of the 70s and 80s, all went down the mines aged 14-15.

If you say so; you're the elitist.
