  Lesley get over it. Labour actually closed more mines than Mrs T, beside mine closures was just an excuse.
  
  Scargill was a politically motivated extremist who used the miners for his political ends in the same way the WW1 generals were accused of using troops but for a far more ignominious purpose.
  
  Scargill was so determined to go to war on the government he called the strike illegally with no national ballot only local regional ballots and then turned his thugs on those who voted against him.
  
  The miners were the bullying rioting thugs trying to intimidate decent working miners into not working.
  
  The Unions, as a whole, needed to be cut down to size because they were destroying British industry.
  
  I am proud, very proud, to have supported Mrs T over those years. The Conservative came to power to save this country and did it.
  
  She did what needed to be done and we are all, yes even you, are better off because of it in spite of those recent terrible 13 years of economic destruction we had up to 2010.
