NUM - The enemy within

book

Margaret Thatcher branded Arthur Scargill and the other leaders of the 1984/5 miners' strike `the enemy within`. With the publication of this bestselling book a decade later, the full irony of that accusation became clear. There was an enemy within. But it was not the National Union of Mineworkers that was out to subvert liberty. It was the secret services of the British state - operating inside the NUM itself.

Seumas Milne revealed for the first time the astonishing lengths to which the government and it's intelligence machine were prepared to go to destroy the power of Britain's miners' union. Using phoney bank deposits, staged cash drops, forged documents, agents provocateurs and unrelenting surveillance, MI5 and police Special Branch set out to discredit Scargill and other miners' leader. Planted tales of corruption were seized on by the media and both Tory and Labour politicians in what became an unprededentedly savage smear campaign.

'The most important expose of contemporary political Britain I have read'.
'Journalism owes Seumas Milne a debt for elivating the craft of fine reporting... above vicious untruth.'
John Pilger, New Statesman

The enemy within is priced at £10 per copy (including delivery), or £8 if collected in person from the Miners' Offices, 2 Huddersfield Road, Barnsley. S70 2LS.

NUM - Statue

statue

This statue was commissioned on behalf of the National Union of Mineworkers Northumberland Area.

This statue contains real coal mined at Ellington Coliery, which was closed by it's owners, UK Coal, on January 26th 2005, making 350 miners redundant. Ellington Colliery was the last deep mine of the Great North East Regional Coalfield.

This bringing to an end an era spanning over 800 years. The statue depicts a yesteryear miner bidding farewell to a miner from the modern day. The statue is a tribute to all of those men, women, and children that have worked and died in the Deep Mining Coal Industry of Northumberland.
