Fit Up Number 1

Scargill was using miners as cannon fodder in his fight against Thatcher.

And Thatcher was using the police as cannon fodder in her fight to destroy the unions.

You must have been really shocked, after hearing Scargill ranting that Thatcher's policy was to destroy British coal mining, to find out years later that it was true.

Do you still believe that the Hillsborough fans broke down the gates, invaded the pitch, fought the police and obstructed the ambulances?

her fight to destroy the unions.

more accurate would be to eliminate the corrupt leadership that was using union members as weapons in a battle and the membership dues to fund an affluent life style for the union bosses. Yes we know Scargill lived a frugal life, a minor inconvenience compared to being out of work when employers were unable to fund the excessive pay rises the unions demanded for the workers
 
You've been reading the Express, have you?

Thatcher's hatred of organised labour was not based on the alleged high pay of union employees.

No

First hand experience of the way unions operated. And hearing a devout Communist in East Germany 1967 saying that the English capitalised economy would be destroyed by the unions and the subsequent socialist government would be a far better deal for the general public. By 1989 the socialist regimes of the communist block countries were failing.

The fight against the miners was purely political. The moronic Sun and Daily Mail readers ought to read this book; The Enemy Within: The Secret War Against the Miners by Seumas Milne. They might learn something.
*******s
 
The miners lost their public support the day an innocent taxi driver was killed by a breeze block dropped from a motorway bridge. Or was that Thatcher's fault also?
