There is a subtle difference between a "Socialist" party and a "Labour" party. Even with my love of words I'd find it difficult to describe, but it's the answer to those who always use the bogeyman Scargill as an anti-labour tool.

Extremeists never represent the true face of a belief whether it be religious or political.
By the by I once did a fundraiser concert for the miners, and Scargill was in the front row. He was noisy, disruptive and paid no attention to the artists performing for him. Acolytes came and fawned in the middle of songs. It really was a gig at the court of King Arthur and a very enlightening experience of the adage "power corrupts...."
