I had relatives involved in the mining industry in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and well remember them talking about the miner's strike and how they and most of their colleagues didn't support it and it wasn't the police doing most of the intimidating back then. Also miner's like every group had their share of bad but overall they were decent, honest hardworking people doing their best and should not all be judged by the small group of N.U.M sponsored thugs most of whom hadn't been down a pit in their lives.

As for whose worse between Thatcher and Scargill it's no contest Scargill takes it by a country mile a small man who got power and blew an entire industry into the dirt trying to use that power to blackmail an entire country.
