Scargill was a loser who conned Union members to follow his lies, and support a strike. NUM members were desperate. Scargill gave them hope. Then robbed them. There are NO TRADES UNION LEADERS WHO DO NOT LIVE A GOOD LIFESTYLE. Paid for by the poor members, who have to live hand to mouth. The Union Leaders denounce Capitalism, yet socialism is more biased against the needy. and want to get as much as they can out of their struggling members. With Capitalism you have an idea where you are going. Socialism is all smoke, mirrors and deception.

About 6 years ago I remember reading an academic paper written in the 1990's (if my memory serves me right) by a former miner who had been a staunch supporter of the NUM and Scargill. During his research he. learned that during the 70s the Labour government had closed more mines than the Conservatives ever had and that about 100 more mines were due to be closed by the coal board on the instructions of Labour. Maggie as the new PM ordered a review of the planned closures and as a result about 25% were to be saved from closing down. But Scargill wanted to make a name for himself which he managed to do whilst destroying an entire industry.

Wilson and Callaghan, were closing uneconomical mines without a problem from the Unions. When Maggie did the same Scargill said a miners strike would bring down the tories. However Maggie wrong footed him, The "THUGS" sent in by Maggie were actually sent in by Scargill to further discredit the Government. Allegedly Scargill and his cronies amassed a fortune from the strike. When the Men and their families were getting into debt, and starving. Socialism is like Orwell's 1948. Everyone is equal!!

Family members were miners, I've heard more than a couple of accounts of union reps on the picket lines with big wads of cash and registers to give out to those picketing. The idea was, you gave your name, they ticked you off and you got your money for being there. You can probably guess what happened the union reps were ticking off the names of people that weren't there and then pocketing the cash themselves.

He was investigated but the report said it was all fiction. The only person who ever faced a court was Roger Windsor (2:56) who was Roger Cook's star witness. In 1994 a French court (because he stole the money in France)found he stole £29,000 on the money and used it to pay his mortgage off and he ended up having to pay £250,000 in costs as well. Windsor was also paid £50,000 by The Daily Mirror for this story. In 2002 the then editor of the Daily Mirror apologised to Scargill and admitted it was a mistake and that they paper had been conned. It appears Roger Cook is not able to admit his error.

I was a Yorkshire Miner and like many outside his tight circle , I did not think much of him. Whether he was a crook or not , I can`t say. I can say he was a fanatic, a bloody fool and along with Thatcher has a big responsibility for the ruination of the coal industry. Scargill never won a strike ,Gormley ,his predecessor, never lost one and Scargill had the neck to criticise Gormley. This was about the time the megalomaniac Arthur declared himself President for life of the NUM ,finished up with the NUM taking him to court.

I like this vid. Good insight.

Really interesting - but excuse my ignorance - why would Libya (under Ghadaffi) send solidarity payments to the miners in England? thanks

Same reason as why Russia sent aid. To destabilise the country. They couldn't care less about British miners, even when striking they were better off than the average Russian or Libian

What a massive gangster. Fortune must have went on his wonderful hairdo!!!

This was the beginning of the end of all significant Unions in G/ Britain 🇬🇧 😢 now we have no contract employment, no guaranteed hours, minimum wage contracts, and no security and we have Thatcher to thank

You’d have thought he’d get himself a top wig

look at the size of those £20 notes

Ask Keir Starmer if he knew anything about it whilst at the C P S

I’m from further north than the mines in Scotland and I’m 46. I remember watching the strikes on tv but I didn’t learn until much later that we had miners here in Scotland. I remember Ravenscraig being closed and other industries being shafted. Bad craic back then and I feel terrible that hardworking folk went through so much strife while politicians could afford to drag out negotiations and decide to close shipyards, factories and mines without giving 2 phucks about the people it affected. I grew up in a small fishing village and it died on it’s arse long ago. At least we have the NHS and the Ministry of Defence up here, they’re the two biggest employers.

What did Libya get in exchange ?

Where’s scargill now

What a disgrace Scargill is. Even without this, he had a tragic impact on the mining industry and the men and regions affected. Sadly, it seems as though corruption happens across the piece. from the top to the bottom.

Did Scargill copy Trump's hairstyle, or did Donald copy Arthur's?

My grandad was Arthur Scargill’s right-hand man , I live in my granddads house now I still got his tobacco and wallet at side of me an his working men’s club committee id, I think that’s how he built his 1st extension my dad was a striking minor but my granddad bought my dad a house, but before this

Roger Cook climbed out of the same cesspit of scargill, just to add I was on strike from March the 5th 1984 to March the 5th 1985 through no choice of my own, hence why I have a huge dislike for the unions and the mainstream media.

It's a bit LATE NOW!!!!
