Interesting first round in the Portuguese Presidential election yesterday. The Far Right’s Andre Ventura came second with 23.5% of the vote, well beaten by socialist Antonio Jose Seguro on 31.1%. The runoff is on February 8 which Seguro is expected to win.

That pic was taken in June 1984, of "women during the miners' strike, Fitzwilliam, Yorkshire" The country was not united then - Thatcher's war on the working class and the trade unions was in full swing, just like the truncheons wielded by the Met at Orgreave en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...
