Miners’ nationwide protest started in Great Britain in 1984. The workers complained about the operations of the government. According to the new decision, all the detrimental mines belonging to the government were going to be closed down. As a result, 20 000 people would be unemployed.
There were nationwide protests, and collisions with police. On the photo taken by a photographer John Harris there is a demonstrator under the truncheon of the policeman. This proof of the British “justice” appeared on the cover page of one of the newspapers.
