Scargill was said to take no wages when the union was on strike. No doubt he still got his perks and expenses paid. As the union bank accounts were frozen these were no doubt in cash, and no receipts required.
Many miners lived on handouts and were too stupid to realise they were being used and their loyalty should have been to their family and not the union.
Police loved it. Massive overtime payments and carte blanche to ignore human rights.
Funny old days, not so long ago either. Probably heading the way of massive industrial unrest again when the economy really tanks.

What ever you say about Scargill he was there in the thick of it
