How many red flag flying Labourites bought maggies council houses and shares in british gas when they got the chance?
Were only greedy selfish scumbags allowed to buy?

how much of a union wage packet did Scargill give to the strike fund in 84, and why is he still in an NUM flat?
I believe the NUM's finances were seized by the courts, using laws brought in by your idol. She loaded the dice before playing the game.
Then she broke the law herself when she deployed this country's security forces against it's own people.
Scargill picked his battle poorly and ran it badly. Lions led by a donkey springs to mind. They would have struggled to win anyway, but without the 100% support of Britain's miners, defeat was inevitable.
Aided and abetted by greedy t***s like you who put yourselves before the good of everyone, just made Thatcher's job so much easier.
Your reward was poetic BTW - the same fate Thatcher had planned for the rest of the country's mining industry. Just deserts for a lack of solidarity.
As for where Scargill lives now, that is irrelevant, except to those still bitter.
Perhaps you should direct your bitterness at the Tories who shafted you as thanks for your collaboration and reflect on what might have been if you had all stuck together, instead of foaming at the mouth every time the Tory press decide to rake over the coals of their finest hour.
