This was the text I ran with the Ad I tried to make of that song:
Watersider - personal communication:
'There must have been almost seven hundred of us deregistered Union men there outside the town Hall, and after all those days, weeks, months of holdin' out, and many of us having used and shared our money from the Post Office Savings to keep our families going ... we had to watch them come out smiling, playing a role for the boss, most of them young, single, and some of them 'crafties' who were pickin' up money for it ... and not a single man who stuck by the old Union had a right to state his case even in a letter to the paper.
I work alongside some of those boys now. And we're bein' friends. But on that day seven hundred of us were still out. And one hundred walked in to pick up scab money....'

I only saw the Chris Bishop film when I began assembling the Dakumentary, and the coincidence with the Fox cartoon is one of those happy coincidences that makes movies so awesome.
