Where Did The Money Go?
I've always liked that Daily Mirror quote - "Mr Scargill began the miners’ strike with a very large union and a very small house; he ended the strike with a very small union and a very large house".
Tammly - reminds me of a chap I once knew who lived in a south Derbyshire mining village. During the strike he told me about thugs coming down from Yorkshire to intimidate their miners into supporting the strike. Didn't go down well.

And of course he had no thugs and useful idiots to help him.
