    Not sure they’d get away with this kind of advertising now.

    Not sure they’d get away with this kind of advertising now.

    No they’d have to come up with some kind of gender neutral non specific non discriminatory equal opportunities advert. We wouldn’t want to discourage the stampede of women who would otherwise be dying to become coal miners 😆

    Yeah because now memes took over and anyway all the SJWs have policed all of our ads so snowflake cucks and feminazis.

    Or something. It would be cool to denigrate delivery-bicycle-riding pooftahs who are grocery-fetching girly-men. We could do it via a National Advertising Council or somesuch, but until after Brexit we’re stuck with the PC brigade.

    *edit, haha cross-post. Kind of 😉

    A bit of COPD did no one any harm.

    As well as testicular cancer, apparently high rates amongst miners and other “dirty jobs” due to sticking your hands in your pockets… perhaps as this won’t affect the women as much they could use that as an advertising hook.

    Cute girls love a bit of Black Lung.

    Typical snarky libtard response. If it was down to you lot we wouldn’t even have mining we’d have to use electricity made from unicorns and kisses.

    Anyway, girls like men dirty. The whole POINT of the ad showing the bicycle-poofter was that he wasn’t a real man but he’d get hot chicks and a motorbike if he’d stop being so wet and man-up.

    The ‘mining’ example could equally well have been any other realman’s job, the mine wasn’t the focus of the ad. The focus was our Nation suffering not brain-drain but testicle-drain caused by pop music and drugs and leftie politics. It could have equally been mechanics or engineering or blasting in a quarry or the Army. I’m sure cuckolded snowflakes will try and frame it as some kind of ‘scandal’ as if the country was short of miners so decided to play on young men’s insecurity/emasculation-fears by using ‘hyper-masculine gender stereotypes’ or some other bollocks.

    This is the problem with lefties – when they meet hard truth it feels like an unstoppable force and threatens to explode their paradigm/glittery safe-spaces. But rather than face the truth and change themsleves, they just try and change the truth. And it ALWAYS comes back to bite them in the ass. Brexit. Hahahahahah. No more girly-men shopping on bicycles. Women of England* have had enough of perfumed ponces in tight jeans.

    *If there are actual any women left. Hard to to tell these days with Jezza’s self-conscious gender-neutral army of human lettuce-leaves. Watch my words be deleted. PC brigade are everywhere..

    Looking at that poster, I reckon my Dad must have seen it, because that’s pretty much what he did, as an engineering graduate, he became a pit-face fitter, repairing the mining machinery.
    Then striking dickheads did him a favour when he wouldn’t strike (As he had me to feed….) and they harassed him until he left and he left and went to work for Metal Box, where he spent the rest of his working life, and was earning a jeffing fortune by the late 80s. He did work hard for it though, 14 hour night shifts 7 days a week sometimes….

    @malvernRider The ad was by and for the NCB! The focus was clearly on working for NASA or maybe a unicorn farm 🙄

    FFS malvenriders post was blatantly satirical, anyone taking it seriously really really needs to have a word with themselves.

    From my days of working on the coal health compensation scheme I remember that it was a real man’s job back until thatcher came along . . . Well, women (and children)had been banned from working in mines in victorian times. The thatcher government then overturned this on the basis gender equality – shortly before she did all the other pit related ‘malarkey’.

    So you could say it really was a man’s job.

    I remember that poster from technical college.
    My Grandfather emigrated to avoid a life down the pit – horrible job apparently.

    I thought it was a spoof ad from an old copy of Viz 😳

    I am also now pretty certain I know brakes from many many years ago (unless the true fact is he’s only on £10 a week).

    I only worked in a coal mine for 13 months but it still took two weeks to stop coughing up black phlegm, guys I was working with had been at it 40yrs – since the days of George Orwell’s road to Wigan pier which is an eye opener if you’ve not read it.
    Seems hard to believe I once spent my working day crawling around underground in the dark.
