Arthur started with a small house and big union and ended up with a big house and small union. Not my words those of a fellow union leader. His tactics in the miners’ strike were ridiculous taking the government on when the stocks of coal here highest and of course refusing his members a ballot. What history do you read?

The miners also asked for and got a 40% pay rise at a time of increasing competion in the coal industry. I know because I worked in that industry myself back then, It was cheaper to bring coal in from south america / australia than it was from 10 miles away in the UK.

i am not here to back arthur , but twatcher (not misspelt) got the police to batter workers on strike in the early 80's then hillsbrough happened and because the police done here bidding she vowed to protect them from any blame , because if those files said the police were blameless and it was all the fans fault they woundnt be secret and would be released.

Interesting theory but just that a theory. If it’s true then people should be accountable and the truth will come out whatever it is. BTW the miners were not saints there was a lot of violence back then if you remember a taxi driver was killed in south Wales. And there was extreme violence and intimidation of non strikers. Were the police innocent no of course not but let’s not have this romantic nonsense of the violent police attacking peaceful miners.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't her attitude towards English football fans after the Heysel tragedy that forced the FA to withdraw English Clubs from European competition, and gave a good reason for that french pr**k UEFA president Artur George to ban all English clubs indiscrminately for 5 years, despite the fact that an official inquiry into what happened in Belgium had not been convened by UEFA and we all know it never did.

She wasted 5 years of European football on all English clubs, when only Liverpool could have been given some sort of ban.
