@Geri
I'm still cross about it. I'd add to the mix that NSea oil revenues could have helped a transition from coal by retraining and resettling miners and seeding new industry rather than just doing the Thatcher abandonment of communities previously reliant on coal mining.

Und schließlich noch ein Blick in die Geschichte: Der britische #MinersStrike stand für die große Niederlage im letzten Gefecht der Arbeiter*innenklasse. 40 Jahre später wissen wir: Das letzte Gefecht war er nicht – aber was dann? (Von 2024)

In the blunted night of the coal shed,
without a torch, my fingers dig
among the coal for the coal.
Hear it scutter into the bucket…—Brian McCabe, “Coal”

Here is the book I referred to.
It's a great account, full of detailed descriptions of events and protagonists with astute political analysis. Resolutely socialist and pro-NUM, but not uncritical.
It explodes some popular myths, e.g. that the strike wasn't decided democratically, that it was Scargill's decision to strike, etc.
