The CEGB’s experience of picketing by striking miners in 1972 had been severe and had left its mark. ¹ The Board did not forget the statement made by Arthur Scargill in June 1975 ² and quoted in Chapter 4 on the importance in a major strike of attacking the power stations. It was against this sort of background that the CEGB prepared for the 1984–5 strike for nothing had happened in the intervening nine years to make us think that Scargill had changed his approach.
