    I must be mistaken... I certainly remember him living there in 1986, as i got married that year & had a house up near Locke Park & me & my ex wife used to walk the dog down there. Was sure my Dad pointed his house out much earlier though. It had loads of CCTV cameras, long before they were common.

    Thanks to this thread I was up while 3am watching YouTube videos of footage and documentaries of the Battle of Orgreave, Miners Strike 84, Goldthorpe & Grimethorpe pickets.

    Orgreave was too far from Hillsborough, if folk had died there then we would be having a similar enquiry.

    Im not saying its good or bad, but werent there some links to Scargill and the old Soviet Union and the now defunct KGB, whereby they were providing funds to the NUM and doubtless other interested parties, in order to bring down what they saw as puppets of the USA. Bare in mind all this was during the Cold War when relationships between said countries were at an all time low. In fact in the 80's i was in germany guarding nuclear armed aircraft, and nukes themselves.
    The Soviets were doing all in their power to bring the West to its kness but we all know who came out in top by the 90's

    Just a thought...

    nobody knows the truth,whatever that may be.I dont think Scargill was whiter than white,but what i do know is that he was watched by the secret services all the way thru the strike,so in my eyes had he been buying a house during that time,then it would have made every single front page,i fail to see how it couldnt.Roger Windsor was the governments plant,it was him who tried to set Scargill up and it was him that was dragged through court,him and the Daily Mirror.Scargill was either an exeptionally clever man,who could evade everything that was thrown at him or,as i feel,he was the victim of set ups.He was right about Thatcher and he was right about the 'non existant' pit closure hitlist,come what may the government tried their best to make him out to be a wrong 'un.

    The whole saga is down to who and what you believe.

    I don't know why people can't see that Scargill screwed over the miners as much as Thatcher did.

    Saying that the mines would all be still open today if it wasn't for Thatcher is ridiculous as well, look at Germany and the Ruhr, their mining industry has declined just like ours, it's just cheaper to import from abroad.

    The NUM strike committee consisted of board members all with a vote abetted by branch meeting decisions not a one man dictatorship .wouldn't expect you to have known(cared) about that as it wouldn't suit your **** post agenda.

    It just goes against the grain to some people when Arthur is mentioned . You were probably another slug that slid back to your hole , when the 30years private papers were released over the coal mine closure hit list ! Keep on sliding blue .

    If anyone is slimy it's self-serving Scargill.

    If only Joe Gormley had still been NUM leader in 1984 then things could have turned out different.

    Stitts if you read my last post Mr G didn't want a strike , the trade unions ASLEF , TGWU , NUR stopped the movement of coal& oil to power stations . This resulted in the strikes ending after several weeks . Do you understand now stittsy .
