Re: Junior Doctors strike.....
Are you suggesting that the striking miners were the dupes of Scargill? If so, you evidently have not the slightest idea of how unions work. Possibly because you ignore all evidence and merely follow party propaganda. No doubt you also believe England will rule the waves once more if we leave the EU.

Whilst I admire coal miners: something I could never do, but I've always felt that Scargill was a shit-stirrer.
I often wonder whether, whilst the miners were suffering lack of money, he continued to receive generous payments. I'm sure someone will be here to put me right!

In other companies it cost jobs.Many of the miners went through all their savings and finished up broke, and all to feed one man's ambition.
