“ Miners were the authors of their own misfortune. Despite having no mandate to strike – (there was no ballot) – they still followed Scargill like sheep. Scargill didn’t give a monkeys about the pits – he only wanted to make a name for himself by trying to be the biggest union leader to bring down a Tory Government. After 25 years of misery the miners deserve what they got. ”

I was always a socialist until the strike, when I went to the first meeting to decide if we were going out on strike, and the union bully boys on stage said " we don't need a vote, do we 'cause we're all out on strike" and I had the strange idea that the ones who were losing the wages decided, not the paid lackeys, who still went out boozing and had holidays in cuba. Yes Thatcher was wrong, but Scargill helped destroy the communities. ”

“ BLO55 - Just found this part of the Beamish Site. When the strike started I was in Hobart House, the NCB's London HQ's working on the noise deafness case research for the union's lawyers. The atmosphere in there as the strike started was poisonous.

Mind I did enjoy seeing the industrial relations staff runnin... ”
