  GARYC;
  Thanks for the link, looked at all the links around it to on you tube
  some interesting views.
  
  I think the miner was correct when he said after 1974 strike the miners sat back to much whilst the tories prepared for future strikes.
  
  It became maggies ambition to crush the miners and the N.U.M and trade unions in general.
  
  we also saw the tories beimng involved in the setting up of a scab so called union
  (U.D.M) Where many of its few members stood for the tories at the very next election.
  
  It would be interesting to have the full costs of chucking all those thousands of men on the dole (many for life) cost to the communities both in financial terms, and ripping the heart out of thecommuniuty)
  the tores once were happy to put millions on the dole, and we appear to be heading back in that direction.
  rule by fear.
  
  theres so much went on during the 80's strike
  thank you garyc for sharing those clips with us
