“I'm not saying I'm proud of what I did, but I reverted to guerrilla warfare." Flying pickets were striking miners who travelled to different pits trying to get working miners to join them on strike. Because most Nottinghamshire miners worked, miner’s son Mark’s home village was full of pickets with different accents, hurling insults and scrapping with police. Forty years on, Mark goes to South Yorkshire to meet a flying picket who spent the year of the 1984-85 strike dodging police road-blocks, shouting at working miners, and ambushing buses. He tells Mark about the things he did that year that he wouldn’t dream of doing now. Archive: �鶹��.
