0:03:32 > 0:03:35Just for five minutes, till me friends get here. Come on.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37It... It's just that I don't really want to be too visible.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Is it your first Pride?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yeah, first anything.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah, well, this is the best way. You need to throw yourself in.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44The thing is, I'm actually from Bromley.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, don't worry about that, we're a broad church.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49No, it's the train. It's further out than people think, and...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Oi, I've been dragging this thing on me own
0:03:51 > 0:03:53since Marble Arch. What are they, buckets?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Surprised you have to ask, coming from Accrington.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Anything get rid of love bites?- No. Where's Mark?- Listen up, everyone.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Where exactly have you been?
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Everyone take a bucket and start rattling.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- This is for the miners.- Miners?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04We agreed on a banner, Mark.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's a show of solidarity.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Who hates the miners? Thatcher.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Who else? The police,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- the public and the tabloid press. That sound familiar?- Surely, Mark...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14The only problem we've got that they haven't is Mary Whitehouse.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16And that can only be a matter of time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17- Mark... - I know, it's not been planned.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's not been thought through. But it's a good idea, isn't it?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Isn't it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26What am I supposed to do with this?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Give it to the lesbians. They love a banner.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Oh, for God's sake.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Right, looks like you're off the hook, mate. Good lad.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Whatever Mark says, we do it. Don't ask me why.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Disgusting.- Yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We're collecting for the miners and their families, guys.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Gays and lesbians support the miners and their families.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08COINS CLINK I was wondering, do you need a hand?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, well, if it isn't Bromley.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I mean, my last train is actually not for ages.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Gays and lesbians support the miners.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Gays and lesbians support the miners.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42So he can't be too late, either. I've got my key.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Just mind yourself on that last train.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52It's today.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What are you, ten?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55I'm 20.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I wouldn't go spreading that around.

0:06:59 > 0:07:0216 for the breeders, 21 for the gays.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Did you learn nothing on that march?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You're still a minor.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Jesus.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Victory to the minors.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Don't make a mess, OK?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14They've counted it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Well, come on, you've collected as much as anyone.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Stephanie! Were you with Jeff in the Bell last night?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25For fuck's sake. It's a bruise, OK? My neck is bruised.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29No red wine on the floor, please. Ashtrays.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It was a pretty good march today.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Not much in the way of beatings or abuse.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Hardly any petrol bombs or swastikas.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Is it me or are the police getting soft?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39ALL LAUGH
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's funny. They've stopped hanging around outside our clubs lately.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44What's that about?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Do you think they've finally got sick of all that Donna Summer?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- ALL LAUGH - No, never!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52My guess is they went somewhere else.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55To pick on someone else.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58My guess is that, while we're enjoying
0:07:58 > 0:08:01a temporary reprieve, they're here,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04giving these poor sods the shit we usually get.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Now, these mining communities are being bullied just like we are.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Right? Bullied by the police.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Bullied by the tabloids. Bullied by the Government.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Do any of them need a hug? - LAUGHTER
0:08:14 > 0:08:16No. They need cash and they need it urgently.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Yeah, the miners have always come to our aid, haven't they(?)
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Are you fucking kidding me?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Why don't we talk about today?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Today, with only a couple of buckets, we raised nearly 200 quid.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Right, think what we could achieve if we really started trying.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31I'm from Durham.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Well, you know exactly what we're talking about, then.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I know those bastards kicked the shit out of me
0:08:35 > 0:08:38every morning on my way to school
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and every night on my way home.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51We are proposing to meet at least once a week
0:08:51 > 0:08:53and just to do as many collections as we can.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oh, and... and we've got a name.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59LGSM.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02It's not very catchy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It's a support group, Steph, not a skiffle band.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Right, let's have a show of hands, shall we?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Who's in? Guys?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10MURMURING
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Come on, guys, please.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh, come on, guys.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Is that it?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17We've been looking for things that we could do together as a couple.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well, this is perfect. Yous can feed the miners AND your relationship.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- How many is that?- That's six.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- It's better than five. - Not as good as seven.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Jonathan!
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Oh, God. Here come the gay libbers.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Brilliant party, Geth.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31I'm sure you could use the back room here.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33If you're looking for a base.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We are... Erm, we are. That's amazing, Gethin, thank you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Well, what about me and Jonathan?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Or is it exclusively for the under-25s?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh, no, of course not. Everyone's welcome.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- JONATHAN:- # Touch me, baby, tainted love! #
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Are you sure Jonathan's interested?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46HE BLOWS A WHISTLE
0:09:46 > 0:09:47ONLOOKERS LAUGH
0:09:49 > 0:09:51He's at a bit of a loose end at the moment.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54He just needs something to occupy him. A project.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57What about Bromley over there?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I've... I've just started catering college.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Good. Congratulations, all of you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03You're the founder members
0:10:03 > 0:10:05of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Terrific. Let's bring down the Government.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Support for the miners.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Give generously.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Put your hand in your pockets for the miners.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27CALL DISCONNECTS
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Hello? Hello...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34And there's the desired consistency.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36It's glossy and wobbly.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Glossy and wobbly.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Jonathan?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Why don't you go out with them today?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Because I've got better things to do
0:10:50 > 0:10:51than run around with a bunch of kids.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56What happened to gay lib, Jonathan?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I don't know. What did happen to it?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Is that Gethin's boyfriend?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Jonathan. He stabbed Susannah York with an ice pick.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08He's an actor.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Support the miners.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, sir.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16We've raised money. We're looking for a mining community...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- 'Repeat the name, please.'- Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21'Somebody will call you back in due course.'
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Sure, but you've said that before and we...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- SIGHS - They'll call back.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32They will.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Mark, face it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36They're on strike. They're busy.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38They don't want our money because we're poofs.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- And a dyke.- They'd rather starve.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Maybe we should hand the money over anonymously.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43We don't have to say we're gay, do we?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- No!- Well, at least, then, we'd be helping.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48No, this is a gay and lesbian group and we are unapologetic about that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Jesus, why are you even wasting time with all this?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51- Mark!- They will call us back.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It has nothing to do with the fact that we're poofs.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- And a dyke!- They will call us back. End of meeting.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00They're never going to call us back.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Someone needs to go with him.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04First rule of the group.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- I'll go.- Thank you, Steph.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Pervert!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16First rule of the group, comrade. Nobody collects alone.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Lesbians and Gays Support... - Gethin!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Gethin, come on. You're supposed to be a bookshop.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27We don't have maps, Mark. It's a gay bookshop.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29People ask for the poems of Walt Whitman.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I hope there's a good reason why I've been abandoned.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Let me get this right, so we are going to pick a mining town
0:12:34 > 0:12:36at random and just ring it. Is that the plan, is it, Mark?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Yeah, the town hall, the council. - What, it's as easy as that?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Why not? We bypass the union altogether.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42- I think it's inspired.- So do I.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43See? Even Bromley agrees.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Right, here we go.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48A-ha. So, what do we want? Um...
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Somewhere north... Industrial?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Humberside. Is... Is that a place?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, Jesus Christ. Give it to me.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56If it's miners you're looking for...
0:12:56 > 0:12:58There. Wales.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Of course! - That's a big fucking coalfield.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's the Brecon Beacons.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06That's a coalfield, there.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- And that is.- All right and what are we supposed to do?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Stick a bloody pin in it? - Do you know people, Gethin?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13No, I haven't been back there in 16 years.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Why not?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Well, let's just say there isn't always a welcome in the hillsides.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24if you've supported LGSM, then thank you...
0:18:26 > 0:18:33..because what you've given us is more than money, it's friendship.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39against an enemy so much bigger, so much stronger than you,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43well, to find out you had a friend you never knew existed...

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Every other support group was approved by the whole committee.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Oh, I see. - Dai had to make a snap decision.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- This is all my fault. - He was in London, Maureen.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42What would you have done? Told them to keep it?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- What I would have done... - But they raised the money.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47All right, I run a civil meeting here.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49If you want to scream and shout, get on the pickets.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I don't have a problem with what they are.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54None of us do.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57It's the men. Well, you bring a load of gays
0:20:57 > 0:21:00into a working men's club, you get trouble. I'm sorry.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02No other group has raised as much money.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03I'm not disputing that.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Or been so consistent.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Then why don't you just invite them?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I'm sorry, but everyone's saying they don't have a problem.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Good, they've raised the most money, so invite them.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15And who the bloody hell are you?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- You did what?- I know.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23But Hefina - she's like the head honcho, absolutely terrifying -
0:21:23 > 0:21:25well, she obviously can't stand this Maureen.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Kids, mind the fish fingers.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35What's the matter? You told me not to sell myself short.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I'm not talking about that. Gays and lesbians!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- We're trying to fit in here, Sian. - What?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Volunteer, I said. Run the canteen.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46They didn't want me on the canteen. They wanted me on the committee.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48All right, so keep your head down. Do the paperwork.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Don't start stirring it all up,
0:21:50 > 0:21:51inviting a load of gays and lesbians.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Oh, it's like that, is it?
0:21:53 > 0:21:54You know, I had you down as many things,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- but prejudiced was never one of them.- I'm not prejudiced.- No?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I'm a realist. I know what small towns are like, Sian.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I know exactly how those lads are going to react.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- You think so?- I know so.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I'm standing on a bloody picket with them day after day.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11It was a majority decision. The committee decided.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Well, I hope you and your bloody committee
0:22:13 > 0:22:17can guarantee their safety, Sian, I do, I really do.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Fuck me. Someone better roll me a little spliffette.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42What I'd like to know is what Bromley told his mum and dad.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Yeah.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I just... Oh, it's no big deal.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Come on.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I said that I was doing so well at college
0:22:48 > 0:22:51they were sending me on a residential course.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52in the covered market
0:27:52 > 0:27:55and to be honest with you, it did surprise me.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Let them get settled in first, shall we?
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Oh.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Now, who's making the speech?
0:28:00 > 0:28:01A... A speech?
0:28:01 > 0:28:02It's no big deal.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Actually, Dai Donovan made a speech at our local pub,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39and he's a pretty tough act to follow,
0:29:39 > 0:29:43so maybe now is the moment for my musical tribute to Judy Garland.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Look, we raised this money because we want to help you.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51And that's it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55And we'll keep on trying to help you for as long as you want us to,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59because we've been through some of the same things you've been through.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Listen, if one in five people is gay,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07then one in five miners must be, too, right?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11So that's at least a fifth of you who's pleased to see us.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Thank you. Thank you for inviting us here.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Thanks.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28One, two, three, four...
0:30:28 > 0:30:31# Them falling leaves They say that summer's done
0:30:31 > 0:30:35# The wind and rains They say so, too
0:30:35 > 0:30:38# But ain't no winter skies will ever shadow the sun
0:30:38 > 0:30:41# While I'm with you... #
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Night, everybody. - ALL: Goodnight, Dai.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57There we are. All settled in.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00It's teething problems, love.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Everything will be all right, once they start to mix.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I'm not talking about running away.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I'm talking about making a dignified exit.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Tomorrow before dawn?
0:31:23 > 0:31:24We can't just waltz into a town like this
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and expect them not to...
0:31:26 > 0:31:27- Slit our throats? - ..just be cautious.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I don't know about anybody else, but I don't have to travel to Wales
0:31:30 > 0:31:33to get my head kicked in. I can very easily get that at home.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Anyone who wants to go should go.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- But I came here to help.- Yeah, but they don't want your help.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Well, they can tell me that to my face.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Until that time, I'm a member of LGSM
0:31:40 > 0:31:42and I'm going to do what I set out to do.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45No hiding, no running away, no apologies.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Me too.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Yeah.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49And me.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50And me.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01This is a Welsh castle, mind. None of your Norman rubbish.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06According to legend, the maiden Sabrina came here, see,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10and became the goddess of the River Severn.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12How did she manage that, then, Cliff?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14By drowning.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17"Sabrina fair, listen where thou art sitting
0:32:17 > 0:32:19"under the glassie, cool, translucent wave",
0:32:19 > 0:32:21and so on.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I grew up in Northern Ireland. I know all about what happens
0:32:25 > 0:32:26when people don't talk to each other.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28That's why I've never understood,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30what's the point of supporting gay rights
0:32:30 > 0:32:32but nobody else's rights, you know?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Or workers' rights but not women's rights.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38It's... I don't know, illogical.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42There's a lodge banner down in the welfare, over 100 years old.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44We bring it out for special occasions, you know.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I'll show it to you one day. It's a symbol, like this.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Right? Two hands.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52That's what the labour movement means. Should mean.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54You support me, I support you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Whoever you are. Wherever you come from.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Shoulder to shoulder. Hand to hand.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01SIAN: Dai!
0:33:03 > 0:33:05There they go.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09They're bringing them in from London, from Bristol. All over.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11CLIFF: They're pulling the lads in for anything now.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Well, they can't do that.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15There's two from my street in custody right now. Lee and Carl.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Where's your humanity?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20We're citizens of this country, mind. Citizens.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22No, I mean they can't do that.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24It's totally illegal.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27A police officer has the right to stop you
0:33:27 > 0:33:29if, and that's the important word here,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31if he has reasonable grounds to believe
0:33:31 > 0:33:32a crime is going to be committed.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Now, you're absolutely sure about this?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Police harassment, dear. I could set it to music.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37- SIAN:- And if he does?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Then he must formally charge you within 24 hours of that arrest.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42But "reasonable grounds" means concrete evidence
0:33:42 > 0:33:43that can stand up in court.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It doesn't mean he doesn't like the look of you.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48That's the same whether you're standing on a picket line
0:33:48 > 0:33:51or trolling down Clapham High Street in full drag.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Hefina, tell Martin to mind the kids.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Where you going?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56The police station.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57She's finding her feet.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Right, gentlemen, listen to me.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04A police officer only has the right to detain a group of people...
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You need evidence to stand up in a court of law.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07They need concrete evidence.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09..keep them for longer than 24 hours...
0:34:09 > 0:34:11No proof. No proof.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14And I will not be leaving this desk until you do.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19We've got all day, so chop chop.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Nobody said anything about hiding who we are.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Yes, they did.- You.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27I just think if everybody takes it easy on the...
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Flamboyance.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30..then we're more likely to fit in.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34I'm sorry, just to be clear, when you say flamboyance, you mean gay?
0:34:34 > 0:34:35And when you say everyone, you mean me?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Jonathan...- Good.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40It's just I haven't spoken 1950s in quite a while.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42MEN CHEER
0:34:42 > 0:34:43LIVELY CONVERSATIONS
0:34:51 > 0:34:53CONVERSATION DIES DOWN
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Over here, please. We're packing parcels.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- You'll stay for a pint? - No, you're all right, Cliff.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Welfare's had a change of atmosphere, if you know what I mean.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- I don't know what you mean, Lee, no. - He means these faggots.- Oi!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10If it wasn't for those people, you would still be in the nick.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11- What?- He's right.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13They make me sick. That's all I know, Dai.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- That's enough.- Physically sick.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- Gays?- From London. They were the ones, Carl. They got you out.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I thought Sian got us out.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26They told her... They told her what to say.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Carl!- It's you lot, is it? The gays.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35What's going on?
0:35:35 > 0:35:36No, it's all right. It's all right.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40We're LGSM, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, yes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42My name's Mark Ashton.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47You'll have a pint, will you, Mark?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52MUSIC: You Can't Hurry Love by Phil Collins
0:35:57 > 0:36:01What I was told about lesbians really did shock me.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05That can't be true, can it? You're all vegetarians?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Actually, Zoe and I are both vegans.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18So, you live together like, you know, husband and wife.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- But what I want to know is... - I know what you're going to say.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Which one does the housework?
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Oh, well, that's... That's not what I thought you was going to say.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Are you joking?- Certainly not.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34It's embarrassing enough they spend one night on Dai's floor, Maureen.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36From now, the hosting committee's going to bloody well start hosting.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40I'm sorry, not me. I'm concerned about AIDS.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41SHE SCOFFS What?!
0:36:41 > 0:36:45It's not a trivial matter, Sian. They've issued leaflets.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47CLIFF: I don't mind taking more, Hefina.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Not the lesbians so much, because of their cuisine.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52But I'll take an extra gay.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54I tell you something right now, Maureen Barry,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57if you get AIDS, so help me God, I'll nurse you myself.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Though how you're going to get AIDS from a couple of sleeping bags
0:37:00 > 0:37:02in your extension, I don't know.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- It's fine.- No. I can take another one, and so can Cliff.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Think it's going to be that easy, do you?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18You just bulldoze the whole village into thinking the same thing as you.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21I don't need to bulldoze anyone. It's you who's got the problem.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24They're all in there getting along perfectly well.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Oh, really?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47What the hell do you think you're doing?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48I'm just talking to Kev about something.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50You can talk to Kev any day of the week.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Get over there and find a gay or a lesbian right now.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Look, Hefina, I've shaken their hands. I've bought them a pint, see?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58I don't want to labour the point, do I?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I might, you know, give them the wrong impression.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Oh, right(!)
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Because you're so bloody irresistible, Carl Evans?
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Listen to me. I've seen you dancing
0:38:06 > 0:38:09round my back yard with no clothes on since you were this high.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12And I can tell you right now, these gays have thrown better away.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Now, move yourself. And you.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Never. Can't move their hips.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Your father would never have stood for it.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- That went well, considering. - Considering?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Sometimes people can surprise you, that's all I'm saying.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20I never had a problem with it, Sian.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Well, I'm glad to hear it, because this is Joe.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36We want people to come together to show their support.
1:07:36 > 1:07:38Why should gay people like me support the miners?
1:07:38 > 1:07:41Because miners dig for coal, which produces power,
1:07:41 > 1:07:43which allows gay people like you to dance to Bananarama
1:07:43 > 1:07:46until three o'clock in the morning. Next question?

1:08:10 > 1:08:12- Is he in charge? - He's the official photographer.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21We don't want it to be all churchy. Do you know what I mean?
1:08:21 > 1:08:23It's a christening.

1:43:12 > 1:43:15- There was a general feeling... - Amongst who?- Amongst the committee
1:43:15 > 1:43:17that people are tired of politics and that this year,
1:43:17 > 1:43:19the tone's celebratory, with affirmative slogans
1:43:19 > 1:43:21- and a positive atmosphere. - Horse shit.
1:43:21 > 1:43:22If you march with your banner,
1:43:22 > 1:43:24you'll be at the back with the fringe groups.

1:43:42 > 1:43:44- I'm not getting rid of the banner.- Listen...
1:43:44 > 1:43:45- There's got to be a compromise.- Why?
1:43:45 > 1:43:47Because that's how you get things done.
1:43:47 > 1:43:48- No, it fucking isn't.- Listen!
1:43:48 > 1:43:51Why does everything get so aggressive with you lot?
1:43:51 > 1:43:53Listen to me! Listen to me.
1:43:53 > 1:43:55Whether we march with banners or without,
1:43:55 > 1:43:58the important thing is that we march together, all of us.
1:43:58 > 1:44:00That's what this whole thing has been about since the beginning

1:46:54 > 1:46:58# Power in the hand of the worker
1:46:58 > 1:47:00# But it all amounts to nothing
1:47:00 > 1:47:03# If together we don't stand
1:47:03 > 1:47:08# There is power in a union
1:47:08 > 1:47:10# Now, the lessons of the past
1:47:10 > 1:47:13# Were all learned with workers' blood
1:47:13 > 1:47:18# The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
1:47:18 > 1:47:20# From the cities and the farmlands
1:47:20 > 1:47:23# To trenches full of mud
1:47:23 > 1:47:27# War has always been the bosses' way, sir

1:47:51 > 1:47:57# Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us
1:47:57 > 1:47:59# But who'll defend the workers
1:47:59 > 1:48:01# Who cannot organise
1:48:01 > 1:48:06# When the bosses send their lackeys out to cheat us?
1:48:06 > 1:48:08# Money speaks for money
1:48:08 > 1:48:11# The devil for his own
1:48:11 > 1:48:16# Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?
