My father was a miner right up to '96 (retired) all through the strike he kept on telling me that the strike was wrong and it would kill the mining industry .There was a lot of resentment in the staffordshire pits towards Scargill and his attitude that he should be able to bring a government down at the expense of the miners .Make no mistake that Scargill used the miners for his own political ends and to further the power trip he was on .Think about it Alan ,why do think there where so many strike breakers ?
