Watching "Strike: An Uncivil War" on Netflix yesterday I was struck by the close strong rapport between the reunited Scottish and Welsh and English miners who in 1985 had been tried for rioting at Orgreave in a kangaroo court and acquited.
Thatcher destroyed the miners and with it not only their livelihoods but also their trust in the established order and cross-border solidarity.
How ironic that in the long run the old bag shot herself in the foot.
