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. |

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. |
