Scargil was right he was on the telly telling one and all that all the pits were going to be closed,he showed lists of the ones that were to be closed first, the medi all were against him ME also , they all said he was telling lies but it turned out he was telling the truth they were only fighting to keep pits open and a fair wage actually to keep the lights on at the time the sun said we are sitting on 300 years supply of coal but it was all sacrificed on the alter of the EU …not the common market…POA…WTD dont make me laugh :bulb:

What!
The UK was importing coal at this time, not from the EU which didn`t exist, nor much from the EEC which did exist.

UK coal imports mostly came from Australia and the USA, then Poland, and S. Africa before any coal from a European country.

Coal Imports January-April 1986
(thousand tonnes)
Country…Coal Imports
Australia…1,361
United States…1,139
Poland…493
South Africa…196
F R Germany…184
Canada…143
Netherlands…115
Belgium…47
Columbia…35

Why would the EEC which started as a coal/iron trade block support coal imported from outside!
Look at the countries selling to the UK. Who made money from putting UK workers out of work?

Strange how Russian miners and dockers were blacking non existent Russian coal exports to EEC member UK in that case.
The unarguable fact is that Scargill was right.
They were documented televised last words of the big K miners when they switched it off for the last time.
There was a cross party agenda to wipe out the UK coal industry, among others, and smash the UK Unions as a bonus.
Obviously bearing in mind that Liebour didn’t reverse any of Thatcher’s policies in that regard during the years that it was in power after the pathetic Major administration.
Heath, Thatcher, Major, Cameron and May isn’t exactly a record of decent leaders.
All no hopers in the extreme.
Its what the Tories are good at just like their uniparty allies in the form of Callaghan, Blair and Brown and now Starmer.
They are all puppets of the bankers and the bankers long ago bet against this country and put the cash elsewhere.
Bearing in mind that many of Scargills army would have been WW2 vets.Each one worth more than all the politicians we’ve had since combined, with the exception of Powell, Benn and Shore.

Since the Aussies and Yanks were sending strike breaking coal into the UK, and the Russians stopped shipments, it is easy to see why you support the Communist Party, and hold no truck with the black-leg capitalists of the west.
Right On Comrade!
