The message ews.net
from "Doctor Drivel" contains these words:

Belonging to a union makes the conflict between employer and workforce
much more equal - One to one. The problems with unions arise where the
welfare of the workers is only of secondary consideration to those in
control of the union. For instance Scagill saw his members as a private
army at his beck and call in his fight with capitalism. Ordering his
members out to further his political ambitions without giving the
members a chance to vote on the matter split the NUM and hastened the
demise of the coal industry.

Scargill was looking after the jobs of his members. That was the terms
of
his employment; he was honours his employment contract. He was doing his
job. He said the coal industry would disappear. The right wing media
said
phewy. Scargill was right. It has been said here, the Home Counties
beat
the Filthy North. That was about right.

Scagill was a disgrace as a union leader.

More perverted Rogerness. The man saw what they were doing and did the
right thing. Policemen of working class origin beat their men down for a
bit of overtime. Lower than whale **** the lot of them.

The first thing he did after
taking control of the NUM was to close
the unproductive London pit
(sorry office) and sack all the workers.

There was no mines in London.

He took a successful union and
in a few short years lost most of
his members either to another union or

History proved the man right.

BTW, Tone has eliminated the north-south
divide, just announced by the FT.
The other pricks would never have done
that, just pandering to parasite
middle class Little Middle Englanders.

What on earth are you on about.

Rogerness again. Read above.

I live within Leeds commuter belt

Poor sod.

and there are still houses in the locality
that are cheap. A quick look through the
local paper reveals several at around
£65,000 and one building plot at the same
price. You won't match that anywhere down
South.

Some places in London are unsellable.
