a) The "evidence" is hearsay, supplied by Mr Scargill, not exactly an uninterested party in the dispute, who may have an interest in rewriting history to perhaps show him in a more favourable light. 
b) "changing the law to suit her agenda" - supposition, not fact - I beg to differ on your premise. Under that viewpoint, it would be equally as valid to state that even if Arthur Scargill had held a ballot and lost, he would still have held an illegal strike - it is too easy to rewrite history to support one side or the other of a viewpoint by changing facts.
