    No there wasn’t, John. You made it up, like all your dull opinions, dull trolling, etc.

      I was working in the steel industry in 1980 and a member of ISTC. It was an opinion held by many of the conduct of Bill Sirs. Other colleagues expressed the same opinion about Scargill. Were you alive and working at that time?

      Also, for your information, the middle and senior management branch of ISTC did not vote for the steel strike in 1980

          maggies child here too.

          Repeatedly made a job for myself and enjoyed prosperity. Keep on blaming others for your misfortune. Its yours!
          What do you mean “too”? I didn’t arrive in the U.K. until the 90’s, Maggie is all yours....

          You’re missing the point of my (limited) soclalism. I’ve been a conservative voter most of my life, but I can still have empathy with others that are not as fortunate and rely on labour legislation to protect them.

            the opinion that I held on both strikes was that both Sirs and Scargill were a little less street wise than they should have been.

                    They should've sent the tanks in, never mind the horses!
