Miners’ strike activist heroes join Royal Opera House workers’ picket line as Pride wins Bafta
The LGBT activists immortalised in cinema blockbuster Pride stood alongside Royal Opera House cleaners and porters demanding a living wage outside the Bafta awards yesterday as the flick won one of the main gongs.
As reported yesterday by the Star, workers at the posh venue where the Baftas were held are currently on strike over unpaid wages, sick pay and crippling conditions.
Members of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) held their original 1980s banner high on the picket in a show of solidarity, in keeping with their campaign.
