I am a former mining industry editor. The argument on the miners’ strike can go on for ever. The strikers were led by Arthur Scargill who did bother with such niceties as a ballot of his members. He started the strike just after winter 1984/5 when people would not need vast reserves of coal for heating for another nine months. Lions led by donkeys comes to mind. The British steel industry became successful until its forced merger with a Dutch steel company. No-one would ever want to go back to the pre- Margaret Thatcher days – ask Tony Blair, the Labour leader who turned out to be Mrs Thatcher’s third child.

Margret Thtcher, the woman who ruined British industry.She killed the coal industry because of her revenge against the miners who she practically starved into submission.And almost single handedly forced the steel industry to her wishes by ultimately selling out.Her popularity was largely based on the British armies success in the Falklands until people gradually realised what a fraud she really was.
