  Lesley it was about Scargills political ambitions.
  
  What about the work to rule that cut production?
  That was designed by Scargill to reduce coal stocks ahead of a strike that he wanted to call in the Autumn. A man who refused a national strike ballot because he could not win it, so he went for regional ballots and intimidation of those who did not vote his way.
  
  What would you do if you were PM faced with a militant and confrontational mining union led by a revolutionary Marxist?
  
  You would have been derelict in your duty if you had not stockpiled coal ready. And you would be mad if you did not call the union's bluff into the confrontation on your terms not theirs.
  
  Mrs T did what was best for the country. Scargill like every other fascist, communist and dictator had to be beaten for the good of the country.
