A Taxi Driver From South Wales: Episode 175
Do you remember the miners strike in 1984/85? It was the most bitter industrial dispute, ruining friendships, families and communities. The repercussions are still felt today. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I look at the story of 35 year old David Wilkie, a taxi driver in South Wales, and how his job lead to his tragic death one morning in 1984.
