No It was Scargill's ego trip, think he could do what they did in the early seventies, in time even the Mirror and Guardian turned against Scargill. It was said after the strike by I think the general secretary of the TUC that Arthur went into the miners strike with a big union and a little house and came out of it with a little union and a big house, Scargill wasn't a champagne socialist he was a champagne Communist
