Today in Welsh history... 12 March 1984, the Miner’s Strike officially began.
By the 1980s the British coal industry was one of the safest and most efficient in the world. However, the Conservative Party wanted to ‘slim down’ what they regarded as unprofitable industries. Under Margaret Thatcher, many former state run industries like gas, water and the railways were privatised. At the same time Thatcher wanted to weaken the power of the trade union movement which she believed had become too powerful.
More than 25,000 Welsh mineworkers lost their jobs in the decade-long programme of pit closures which followed the strike.
According to one former miner Keith Gildart:
“The breakdown of communities and traditional families has led to what's been termed the crisis of masculinity, with no role models to encourage young men into a career, and no collective aspiration or expectation to succeed.”

Transgender Leah Harvey (formerly called Joshua Harvey) followed a 16-year-old girl around a hospital and showed her messages which read "Do you want to f***?" and "I love you, I want to bang you". The defendant was in breach of an order which prevented him from having unsupervised contact with children.
The 28-year-old pestered and harassed his victim at the Grange University Hospital, in Cwmbran, in the early hours of October 2 last year. The defendant had already been discharged from hospital but remained on the grounds to pursue his victim.
The defendant had three previous convictions for attempting to cause or incite a child to engage in sexual activity and a conviction for attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming.
Harvey was sentenced to three years in prison at Cardiff Crown Court last month. It is understood he will serve the sentence at a men's prison. The sexual harm prevention order will continue to run indefinitely.

Today in Welsh history... 13 March 1601, Welshman Sir Gelli Meyrick was executed for his part in the Essex Rebellion, which was an unsuccessful rebellion led by Robert Devereux 2nd Earl of Essex against Elizabeth I of England and the court faction led by Sir Robert Cecil to gain further influence at court.
When in January 1601 Essex had decided on raising an insurrection in the city, Meyrick armed many of his country friends with muskets and defended Essex House. The rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful, and Meyrick was arrested and held in the Tower of London. He was sentenced to death on 5th March 1601. He declared himself willing to die and explained that he merely acted under his master's orders. He was hanged at Tyburn on 13 March.

The winds of change certainly seem to be blowing across the United Kingdom. After thirteen years of abuse, lies and ‘gaslighting’ by a Tory government, whose only concern seems to be lining their own pockets, is it too much to hope that the British people…
Today in Welsh history... 16 March 1827, Benjamin Piercy was born in Trefeglwys near Llanidloes.
Piercy was a civil engineer responsible for much of the rail system in Mid Wales and for designing and building Sardinia's railway system.
Piercy worked on the construction of the Vale of Clwyd Railway, the Oswestry & Newtown Railway, the Newtown & Machynlleth Railway, the Aberystwyth & Welsh Coast Railway.the Hereford, Hay and Brecon Line and the Mid Wales Line. This included the stations at Welshpool and Oswestry, the bridges over the estuaries of the rivers Mawddach, Severn and Traeth Bychan and the railway cutting at Talerddig, which at the time was the deepest in the world.
In 1862, he began the construction of the first railways on Sardinia. During this time, he became friendly with the Italian nationalist Giuseppe Garibaldi and was subsequently decorated by the King of Italy for his work. Piercy also later designed railways in India and Burma.

Today in Welsh history... 18 March 1915, the Allied attack on the Dardanelles began during World War I. The subsequent military disaster was instrumental in Welshman David Lloyd George becoming Prime Minister.
The Anglo-French operation against Turkey was intended to seize the Dardanelles in order to occupy Constantinople and secure a sea route to Russia. On 18th March, the main attacking force entered the channel but had to retreat due to the ferocity of the Ottoman defence.
Further advances were attempted, including one on 25 April 1915, when Australian and New Zealand troops took heavy losses (remembered as ANZAC Day). In January 1916 the campaign was halted, with Allied casualties numbering 213,980. The scale of the slaughter of Allied troops caused serious political repercussions and gave the impression that the Allies were militarily inept.
Both Churchill and Prime Minister Asquith were forced to resign from government, and Lloyd George became Prime Minister in December 1916.

Today in Welsh history... 19 March 1921, Tommy Cooper, comedian and magician was born in Caerphilly.
At 6' 4", Cooper was famed for his large and lumbering appearance, his catchphrase "Just like that" and for his ever-present red fez, which he started wearing when he was stationed in Cairo as part of the NAAFI entertainment party during World War II. He served in the British Army for seven years, before developing his conjuring skills and becoming a member of The Magic Circle. Although he spent time on tour performing his magical act, which specialised in magic tricks that appeared to fail, he rose to international prominence when his career moved into television, with programmes for London Weekend Television and Thames Television.
Cooper collapsed and died during a 'Live From Her Majesty's' performance on Live TV on 15th April 1984.
