  Roger is WAY OFF BEAM it was maggie that had a crusade to close the pits, and had a bigger picture of an attempt to destroy one of the strongest unions at the time.
  
  Whilst Scargill wasn't an angel in the bitter dispute, the way Maggie and her clones set about attempting to destroy trade unions was discraceful.
  
  It was a bitter dspute, and the miners chose the wrong time to have such a dispute(if there is a good time with that govt!!) Maggie learnt from bitter past experience that the miners union was strong, so she made no excuses and was clear that her main aim was to destroy the N.U.M. but more trade unions in general!
  
  Thankfully many tade unions survived her onslaught, any totally unfair way she put obstacals in way of unions to stop them operating, many still grow today.
  
  Marek has shown many of the reasons MAGGIE was (IS) hated even today
  and not by your everyday socialist
  many miners were right wing rabid tories, and they couldnt understand why there own govt set out to destroy them!
  
  its sad it finished like it did, complete bitterness, and sad for the country
