"after Whupsy and his mates had brought the country to its knees, the Miners, Power Workers, Dockers, Council Workers, yoo name it, and they were on strike about it in 1979 during the winter of discontent"

It should have been "after Whupsy and his mates had brought the country to its knees, the Miners, Power Workers, Dockers, Council Workers, yoo name it, and they were on strike about it in the 1970s, culminating in 1979 during the winter of discontent"

It is just a wording error, the information in the piece is still sound
