http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23518589 What a surprise, though the Tories denied it they did intend to close more than twenty pits. Even though I supported the miners cause at the time I always thought that Scargill handled the situation poorly and that a leader with a bit more political and diplomatic skill like Joe Gormley would have done a better job. Saying that, the lengths TBW would have gone to to smah the miners and union movement had no bounds. |
