Scargill closed the pits

You have obviously not been out for a long time

Common sense........is just not that Common.

Scargill with his pig headedness certainly didnt help.

Egotistical t***.

Thatcher closed the pits. Scargill was the only one to speak the truth during the miners strike when he said that was thatcher's intention.

We now sit on loads of coal and have to import it from Russia and other eastern places, and it's inferior quality to what we could produce. If any of you have tried firing a steam loco, you'll know what I mean.

"Peep" said Thomas.

Yes Thatcher closed them, but Scargill was no hero.

Check the numbers again


Of course Thatcher took every opportunity to kick Scargill after the 84 strike, but he deserved it

When I was employed by the coal board it was the Tories along with Scargill who is now sitting on a couple of million quid who closed all the pits.

If Scargill took notice of the Notts NUM we would've won the battle within a few months and been back at work within 10 weeks.

He went at it without having a national ballot, us in Notts were out, me personally I was out for 6 months without a ballot, nothing was moving so we decided to head back to work.

"We live on tons of coal now.......blah blah blah"


Try opening a new pit and listen to the NIMBY's scream, we had trouble getting a fecking chicken farm here with 1 articulated truck a day in/out and the sheds hidden from view....and all them that keep on about the coal reserves can go and dig it out, i still have purple scars on my back from a 48" thick seam and a 400yd coalface.....buy Russian i say!
