  Back in the real world, Yep Arthur got the tactics badly wrong, but Maggie was bruised by arthur previously and she had an agenda to take on the NUM and the wider trade union movement.
  
  So lets have a bit of honesty about it.
  
  I don't know how many miners have got jobs today, but we do have this dilema, maggie believed it was cheaper to put people on the dole, of course this has a big effect not only on the families concerned, but also the local economy.
  
  There was of course a lot of lessons learnt both during the miners year long dispute, and since by other major trade unions.
  
  All became more democratic(something iv always pushed for)
  
  trade unions did re group and the challenges changed, and in recent years a whole new ball game was in place.
  
  Obviously under maggie she wanted working class people to doth there cap and be pleased they were lucky enough to have a job!!!!
  of course she went to far.
  And more recent years where we see stuff like the bankers giving themselves millions of pounds in bonus's even though they lost money shows the world we live in.
  
  On the one hand we are told public services will be cut back
  on the other people like the bankers giving themselves(with our money!!) millions of pounds of bonus's whether they made a profit or not.
  
  summat there is clearly wrong.
