    Wot a man that TEBBITT is IF you believe in summat stick by it.
    Everyone at the time was telling Maggie and her Conservatives what the closures would do for the mining communities, and the wider community.
    But Maggie was determined to take on the NUM in an attempt to smash them and trade unions in general.

    Arthur Scargill may well have got parts of his message right on pit closures
    but I don't feel any ballot would have changed the minds of the nottingham miners
    remember the UDM working hard with employers also to break the workers.

    Scargill probably should have had a ballot, but thats history as is the mining communities that even TEBBITT now having a change of heart on.
    2 faced or what!!!!

    It was a sad time then, and sadder now, and will like many other things that Maggie did never be forgotten.
