Scargill's NUM flat

Arthur Scargill is in court claiming his £34k-a-year flat is 'his for life' and the NUM should continue paying for it.

So how many miners are there left in the UK? And how much are they paying each, to keep Scargill in a house in London?

I'm picturing about 7 elderly blokes digging like fury, just to cover his council tax.

Right in there wiv the workers then Arfer. Good man. Does he need the London pad so he can get to the opera?

I see there's the possibility of any surviving wife also keeping the flat F.O.C. If I was arfer I'd threaten the NUM with marrying a 20 year old.

I think the only miners are those that Savile took a shine to.

Nice to see arfur learning something from bankers, corporate executives & MPs.

His lawyer is called Timothy Pitt-Payne. I thought funny names were against the guidelines.

Yes. It's important to remember that he's fighting 'for what he's entitled to, rather than what he ought to be entitled to'. Nice stance, ex-union leader.

Clever chap. Destroyed the mining industry but managed to pin the blame on Thatcher.

Perhaps he's trying to finish off the NUM as well
