  If Scargill called a secret ballot and went into the strike with such an endorsement the Nottingham miners and others would have been out with them. But he was afraid that he would have lost such a ballot, because his extremist bully boys would not have been able to intimidate his members into voting the way he wanted.
  
  He thought he was above the law and above needing to adhere to the wishes of his members, he lost and deserved to do so. He was guilty of encouraging violence and intimidation during the strike against those who decided to carry on working and it is those working miners who held out for democracy and the right to work who deserve our respect.
