    How sad that you can rejoice in that scenario, the miners were not the menace.


    I rejoice at the defeat of Trade Unionism because it was a menace to its own members, the UK economy as a whole and was a massive destructive force on jobs.

    The miners were just tools of Scargill's extremist Marxist political ambitions. He did not have a national ballot but regional ballots and then tried to intimidate and force those regions who did not bow down to him into compliance. He had to be defeated under no circumstance could he be allowed to win. His defeat and the taming of the Unions was essential and every one of us has benefited from that.
