I read an article in a national paper about three days ago, that the miners strike could have been sorted out quickly, but that old bag Thatcher, stopped the agreement several times.

The NCB and the miners agreed a settlement to stop the strike, but the old bag, blocked it, and that is why it went for so long. The good thing is that after so many years, there is a mining industry and it is going strong, and now is the time we need it.
