JEREMY CORBYN’S Peace and Justice Project is organising a concert to mark the 40th anniversary of the historic “pits and perverts” concert during the 1984 miners’ strike.

The independent socialist MP said “the original Pits & Perverts fundraiser raised vital funds for striking miners in south Wales, and whilst the strike ended many years ago, the legacy of discrimination against LGBTQ+ people continues.

“The Pits & Perverts 40th anniversary concert will pay tribute to the spirit of solidarity that brought together striking miners and LGBTQ+ people in the UK and serve as a reminder that when we stand together against injustice, hate and bigotry, we can win.”
