MIKE JACKSON I think the film struck a chord. I don’t think it could have been made ten or twenty years ago. And, ironically, we’re now in a situation where we have a government which is worse than Thatcherism. It is naked, blatant, arrogant and cruel. And I think the film came out at a time when people were really frustrated and angry and didn’t know what to do. Pride showed that grassroots activism – forget the party apparatchiks and the media – can make difference. And that’s really heartening.
