I personally have never been involved in any form of industrial action

attempted to start industrial action for some form of political or

Clearly wasn't the case with Scargill so your
personal experience is completely irrelevant.

Scargill had changed the rules in the num so the members couldn't sack
him. That's why the democratic union of mine workers was formed, not so
they could strike break but because Scargill and his chums were scum out
for their own gains whatever the cost to others.

Of course Dave will deny this.
