It goes like this.
The Daily Mirror reported on various financial misdoings including that Scargill had failed to account for NUM funds correctly and paid off his mortgage using the Mineworkers pension fund. Scargill never sued for libel, instead he called them malicious lies. It was however discovered that he had used the money to pay for improvements on his bungalow. This was added to sensational reports of large exchanges of cash between the NUM, Russian miners and Libya’s colonel Gaddafi. It’s alleged that Scargill deposited £1,000,000 of donated Russian money meant for Wesh miners in a Dubin bank until after the strike ended. In all probability this as just a slur originated by Roger Wndsor to extract funds from the newspapers on the back of some very sour grapes and a forged NUM document.
