The song refers to the miner strike in UK in 1984-85, I know that Russell Senior was into that strike, I think he distributed flyers during that time (not sure, my memory may fail, taken from Story Common People from the BBC).
Also reference to Dire Straits in the line "Some joker in a headband was still getting chicks for free".
