EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant photo print, we see John Miller, the renowned British journalist and author, at the forefront of a passionate campaign against closures and redundancies at the Dunlop works in Skelmersdale, Lancashire. The year is circa 1982, a time when trade and industry were facing immense challenges, leading to widespread unemployment across the country.
With a placard in hand and a determined expression on his face, John Miller stands alongside others who share his commitment to fighting for workers' rights and preserving jobs in the rubber tyre industry. Despite the gravity of the situation, there is a sense of camaraderie among them as they take to the streets to make their voices heard.
The backdrop of Skelmersdale serves as a stark reminder of the impact that these closures have on local communities. As laughter fills the air amidst their protestations, it is clear that their resolve remains unshaken in the face of adversity.
This snapshot from history captures not only a pivotal moment in Britain's industrial landscape but also showcases John Miller's unwavering dedication to social justice. His actions serve as an inspiration for generations to come, reminding us all of the importance of standing up for what is right in times of crisis.
