on the contrary he is not my hero , neither have i ever said so, i corrected a myth propogated by leadfingers, that scargill made the decision to strike he did not, a decision was taken by the executive without scargill, the decision was 13 votes to 8 with 3 abstentions.   
   stop putting words into my mouth,Scargill is not my hero,in fact I THINK THAT THE STRIKE WAS ILL TIMED.however I believe that people should have facts not fiction, and the fact is Scargill did not make the decision, it was taken by the executive, while he was out of the room.

Well said Peter - where is their 'champion' now? Living high while the rank and file still feel the effects. I always thought that the only person Scargill was concerned about was Scargill
   what is this crap, what proof have you got that he is living high?
