Description

Views of Didcot power station. The small token picket line at Didcot was set up by striking miners from Kent but it was ineffective as power station workers are continuing to work. Geoff talks to Joe Sparnon about their reasons for picketing the coal fired power station. They also held out picket line banners on a railway bridge to try to halt trains bringing in coal from Leicestershire pits that are still working but without success.
