and this thread is about the film The Iron Lady. Go ahead, disagree with me, that's your democratic right.

You're right, Al The TUC leadership of the time were definitely not rocket scientists, and Thatcher saw them coming, and took full advantage, history has shown the results. It appears that the whole confrontation with the miners is not in the film, I've checked cast lists and there is no one listed as playing the role of Scargill. They might get mentioned through others, of that I have no idea.
