EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the annals of Cornwall's political history, a determined crowd of protesters march through the streets, their voices united in the call for jobs and employment opportunities in the region. The year was 1983, and the economic climate was bleak. Unemployment was rampant, and the people of Cornwall felt the brunt of the crisis acutely. The photograph captures the spirit of solidarity and resistance that characterized the era. Trade union and Labour Party banners wave proudly in the wind, their messages clear and unambiguous. The protesters, many of them clad in raincoats and holding placards aloft, trudge along the road, their expressions resolute and defiant. The banners bear the names of various unions and political organizations, including NALGO and the ST. Ives Labour Party. The words "Jobs for Cornwall" and "No to Unemployment" are emblazoned on signs, reflecting the urgency of the situation. The scene is one of collective action, a testament to the power of the people to come together in times of need and demand change. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the political climate of the 1980s, a decade marked by social and economic upheaval. The march in Cornwall was just one of many protests that took place across the country during this period, as people took to the streets to voice their concerns and demand action from their elected representatives. Despite the challenges of the past, the spirit of solidarity and resistance continues to resonate in Cornwall and beyond. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of standing up for what we believe in, even in the face of adversity.
