15/10/92 "So Arthur Was Right All Along"

Lets not beat about the bush. Arthur Scargill was wrong. In 1984 he told us the Government would cut the mining industry down to 60 pits. Silly Old Arthur. only he'd said that we would now be cut down to 20. The trouble is, we wouldn't have believed him. Silly old us.
