Miners strike was in my opinion Lions led by a Donkey, he was set up by Thatcher to fail, but I believe she also used Scargill to defeat all unions,between them they destroy this country.
If the man and his acolytes could have seen the bigger picture a ballot would have brought the whole union movement into the fray.

I appreciate that there is a lot of deep feelings. the unfortunate thing is that when history judges them both, a lot of us will not be around to get the full picture.
