I remember a documentary a few years ago that suggested the original plan actually hadn't been to close all the pits - however when it became plain that Scargill's main aim was to bring about a collapse of the government, Maggie determined to fight him all the way - and neither side was willing to back down whatever the cost.....
Far too many who get involved in politics (and I include Union leaders in that) do so for the wrong reasons, leaving the ordinary folk to suffer the consequences....

I've said this before, but I think it's worth repeating...folk (most importantly the people in charge) are missing the 'A' part of VAR - it's supposed to be an assistant - yet it's turned into the god of refereeing decisions.
Unless the ref has quite clearly missed something (he was looking the other way) or has made a very obvious hash of something, then let the ref get on with their job. If they want to refer to VAR, then fair enough, but it should be used at his discretion, not as a matter of course. VAR should behave in the same way an on-field Assistant Referee would, not as something looking over the ref's shoulder and telling him what to do or think.....

Plucky though weren’t they? - plucky little Wales….

I've never been puilled off in my entire career either - very nearly at an office Christmas party many years ago, but that sort of behaviour tewnds to be frowned upon nowadays.....

Mattia Binotto will leave his position as Ferrari team principal at the end of 2022....

Well, I can honestly say that I have gone one better than you, and did actually get pulled off at a works Xmas do a couple of years ago.

Wouldn't it be better to let England have a referendum to decide if Scotland are allowed to play?

Jesus guys, get a room.
Literally, mods can we call this off topic yet? Stick it in a new thread, and let them scrap it out in there. 

Southgate managing expectations by telling the team to keep giving the ball away….

South Korea team playing Uraguay has a back 4 of Kim, Kim, Kim and Kim - and a goalkeeper called Kim.....

He wasn't alone - lot of very lightweight players in their side. Big bloke up front, couple of big center-halves and a load of pretty boys who spent far too much time rolling about and crying to the ref....
