I don't think I need to say anything about Scargill beyond his being an apologist for Stalin. Anyone who says that he wasn't all bad isn't worth listening to on any level. |
I agree with your sentiments regarding Scargill. The defeat of his strike was a great day in British history.
Apart from his revolting political views - he and his supporters needed to be taught a lesson that is democratically elected Governments which should be running this country. Not him and his aggressive supporters.[/quote]
Now without British Coal we have an energy crisis.
As for the electricity companies many have now been re-nationalised by the French Government.
Thats what a disaster Privatisation has been.
