ITV last night showed a repeat of an episode of Taggart, the plot of which was the repercussions of violence meted out to "scabs" (in inverted commas because it included the wife of a scab) during the 1984/85 miners' strike - 4 corpses, 2 from the strike era and the other 2 from the repercussions a quarter of a century later... only fiction, I know but....
