Climate Camp - BBC News Arthur Scargill interview, 4th August 2008

Arthur Scargill a true hero. A man of proven integrity second to none and of principles superior to most. Legend.

I think Scargill's immediate - ie realistic - goal was to try and get Thatcher's government to back down from massive pit closures.
While his long-term goal probably was ostensibly to take down the government and replace it with a socialist one
(a) this would probably never have come close to happening
(b) this would still NOT be fascism; as I said before fascist trade unions among other thinkgs CURB wages, socialist unions try to INCREASE wages. Facists control workers socialists promote them

I've known for years that the whole 'Green' agenda is simply Marxism by the back door.
You can find clips on here of Green Party meetings, where the chief party members are quoting from the communist manifesto in their speeches.

Even Arthur 'Mr Coal' Scargill is keen to cozy up with them, that ought to be all the proof you need.

I think many in the Green movement have come to realise that eco-friendly policies under a strongly capitalist don't work properly. To be honest I think that most people would admit that global warming is actually a lot more dangerous than the commie "boogey-men" that the right often invoke. The fact is that the far-left never really had any oppurtunity to take power in the UK after WW2 but having a red strawman is often easier than dealing with political realities as some here have shown...

trade unions were very powerful and furthermore, unelected and unrepresentative.
I don't know whether this is fascism, but it sure as hell isn't democracy

Aircraft emissions 25.5% of the total??!!

Where did you get that figure from? I thought that power stations were the biggest CO2 emitters, with road transport second, and heating of buildings third?

Well Done Arthur. Living Legend.

thank fuck u lost loser. still talking utter shit. cheers for taking us back 2 work after 1 FUCKIN year without a wage. fuckin clown. intergrate that u gobshite

"Strange to see what was an utterly dangerous man has become".

You should see his opponents; Ian Mcgregor is in an urn and the 'great' Margaret Thatcher stinks of piss and can't remember her own name.

pleasant, and that makes them dangerous?
Great contribution
