I remember Spa lane in Woodhouse being full of mini buses full of coppers from as far a field as Gloustershire and some by their looks and demeanour from Catterick and Aldershot all waiting to get stuck into miners picketing Orgreave

Likewise, was living in Woodhouse at the time. A few of those buses were from the Met as well.

Bottom line is, whatever you think of the respective personalities/ego's, Scargill was right, as revealed in recently released Government papers.

As for the 'let it pass' brigade I'll quote someone else..

"Having surrendered the shield of solidarity, layer after social layer has been peeled away and forced to submit: to inferior schooling, to means testing, to inadequate pensions, to privatised monopolies in the utilities and transportation, to constant surveillance, to living under the rule of secret police armed with cheka powers, to rule by and for the corporatists, to submission to foreign policy made in Washington and economic policies dictated by the City.

And now, as the last act of the drama unfolds, all but the very wealthiest are awakening to the reality that their living standards, their savings, their nest eggs, the vital services guaranteed to them throughout their lives, their ability to earn a living are at risk.
And that the only means of defence that ordinary people ever devised-solidarity, democratic self-organisation- were lost when the miners were defeated."

Indeed, but the problem is if that if Scargill had not been a monumental failure as a leader the miners might not have been defeated and things might have been different.

I rather think this has meandered wildly off-course.
