Willett 4 Year Family Estate
Review by: TOModera
Anyways, recently I’ve decided to get into some more bourbons and see what I like/dislike. Also have to work on finishing up that Chinese flag I have beside my name.

Former miner Dave Roper (aka Donkey Dave) recounted the heartbreaking experience of burying his child in a stranger's grave after being denied a funeral grant by the DHSS for being on strike. The article states that after growing pressure this policy was reversed in October 1984.
However, this is not the full story. The amendment which restored funeral support for strikers on one hand also tried to claw back mortgage relief with the other.
David Willetts, a member of Thatcher's Policy Unit, wrote "The DHSS anyway have to amend the regulations to allow them to meet funeral expenses of relations of strikers following the hard cases publicised in the press. It would be politically neat to bring out one amendment which both gave concessions for funeral expenses and tightened up the regime for mortgage payments."
David Willetts would go on to be Universities Minister in David Cameron's cabinet, and oversee the increase of tuition fees to £9,000 per year. He currently sits in the House of Lords.
This is why the Miners' Strike matters - the same people who made decisions during the strike are still in positions of power today, and they still haven't even acknowledged the violence that was done against mining communities in 1984.
