These are a pages from the Westhoughton Memorial Book to the Pretoria Pit Disaster on the 21st December 1910.
For those who have never been taught history or geography, Westhoughton is in the centre of Prime Lancashire. It was a typical pit village and when the disaster struck there was probably not a villager who was not affected.
Look carefully at page 41 and see the age of the men who died. When a person of colour starts ranting about abuse and slavery, print this page and stuff it in their face. No matter how hideous slavery was and still is today, the exploitation of the poor British peoples is something that has been ignored since school have been subsidised from the Public Purse.
At least slaves had a worth, which was something the British masses never had in the eyes of the Ruling Elite.
And now Westminster has re-established this hierarchy as the governing elite in a nation where we, the ordinary people, gave everything for so little in return.
This booklet is on sale at Westhoughton town council for just £3.00. Link through the Bolton revisited site.
