Merry Christmas, Arthur

[venator]

On the topic of strikes and strike leaders, here's a nice piece about Arthur Scargill, the fearless fighter of the privileged classes...

I'm sure the 380,000 odd miners who lost their jobs are happy to see him in his posh Barbican flat.

Come on you pinkos, shoot me down...

Arthur before strike Big Union Small House
You know the rest

OK, nobody going to defend Saint Arthur then?

Perhaps Mr Crow might ....

[Duncer]

That would be defending the indefensible, and I mean Scargill, not the miners themselves.

Mr Scargill always lived the life of a champagne socialist.

In fact, the majority of socialists in any position of authority live the high life.

Now, where's my copy of Animal Farm?

There's nowt wrong with being a Bolly Bolshie. The left should want us all to live like lords rather than us all living like paupers.

Those Barbican flats are very, very nice.

Buggered if I'd want to give one up.
