  It is certainly much easier to blame Scargill, so easy that it hardly ever seems worthwhile searching out the least truth.
  
  The problematic-path trodden by industry, and in its industrial relations, in the UK was certainly one thing, it was a peculiarly British problem.
  
  And that particular problem has not gone away.
  
  There was no drive to modernise and compete internationally. The coming-together, the unity that was forced upon the people of these islands, and which was taken-up with some vigour by those same people, had to go.
  Such unity of purpose was thoroughly Democratic...and that single issue was quickly identified and systematically dealt with.
  
  But, why deal with the actuality when people can so easily be led into thinking only about today, and then easily berated for not thinking enough of the future.
  All of which (rather successfully) keeps everybody so busy that there is a ready welcome for rhetoric to replace reality in all things 'history'.
  
  But...
  
  This politics-ping-pong gets nobody anywhere (another success).
