"I saw him. Leading the hunger march.
'Let there be no confusion' he said
'There is one enemy, and one enemy only
but like a hydra it has many heads
and one by one, we will cut them all off'

All the way
to the unemployment benefit office."

A radical young miner's defence of his workmates in a time of crisis; should he challenge management or choose to be absorbed by it, to resist or to compromise?
