the silence is deafening,
now jacqui c and peter k, before you start spouting your hatred of scargill , get your facts right,furthermore he is not a hero of mine.
   I do not see why he should be castigated any more than any of his predecessors for having a house that belongs to the NUM,or for using the same voting method as lord gormley [the regional committee], do you castigate Gormley [no, you dont[
   finally. you seem to conveniently forget that the decison was made by the miners executive without scargill EVEN BEING IN THE ROOM , 13 to 8, 3 abstentions, do you castigate the other union leaders, no,you do not.
You are a couple of uninformed, opinionated, posters who are not prepared to accept facts from an INDEPENDENT source such as the BBC
