Anger at Scargill's bid to buy flat

[Jimbuna]

I'm a little surprised why the BBC have waited till now to flag up what this hypocritical individual tried to get away with.

Former miners' union leader Arthur Scargill tried to use laws introduced by Margaret Thatcher to buy a council flat in London, the BBC has found.

In 1993 he applied to buy the flat on the prestigious Barbican estate under the right-to-buy scheme championed by Thatcher, his political enemy.

The rent on the flat was paid to the Corporation of London by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), of which Mr Scargill was the then president.

The papers relate to a 2013 court case in which Mr Scargill lost the right to stay in his London flat for life at the expense of the NUM.

Jim, you appear to be getting more and more bluer every day.

They've waited this long because the tv show about it has only just been on. If you're going to make and break news, you may as well cash in with a program too.

How long does it take to make a documentary or whatever to publicise what has been a well known fact for years?

Three days. A week tops.
Not counting the time it takes to edit to a matching agenda.
