    I've just seen an former Tory MP on the telly saying that the miner's strike was politically motivated, by Scargill. What a turn up, most people I know reckon it was the Tory government motivated by their desire to break trade unions and to get revenge for the defeat of the Heath administration by the miners in the 70s. I've heard comments by police officers quoted today saying they were used a political pawns during the strike, I wonder who by. I know the victors write the history but if it was politically motivated, and planned for, was that done by the miners themselves?
