    GaryC - Scargill and his bully boys were out for a confrontation from the start. He got what he wanted and ultimately what he deserved. Scargills political aims, thuggery and intimidation was what that strike was all about.

    Why did he not call a national strike ballot instead of an area by area one?

    If he had the support you claim for a strike why did so many miners in moderate areas decide to carry on working?

    Why did he then rely on intimidation to try to force the moderate miners to submit to his will?

    Scargill supported by a dozen Kent miners..... you do 'tell 'em. Kent was known as a militant area and you claim it was just a dozen of them.... Well if that was true what about the rest, sheep perhaps? in that case cowardly sheep at that for knuckling down to a dozen Scargill thugs.
