Still the Enemy Within is a unique insight into one of history?s most dramatic events: the 1984-85 British Miners? Strike. No experts. No politicians. Thirty years on, this is the raw first-hand experience of those who lived through Britain?s longest strike. Follow the highs and lows of that life-changing year.


The screening has been organised by members of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (the real activists portrayed in the hit film ?Pride?!) in association with Southwark Trades Council. The organisers say:


?We support everyone fighting against cuts and for decent, affordable homes. This event will be a chance to find out about local campaigns and learn lessons for fighting the Tories from one of the greatest-ever struggles in history. Speakers include a firefighter, an NHS worker and a Defend Council Housing campaigner. Please come, bring your workmates, family and friends from Uni, college and school. This is a unique chance to see an outstanding historical documentary alongside local community and political activists in our local independent cinema. We look forward to meeting everyone there!?

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
