A piranha fish bites back

Nicholas Jones

During the miners’ strike in 1984, the union’s leader, Arthur Scargill, prided himself on his ability to thwart the news media by refusing interviews and denying reporters information. But he once recruited Nicholas Jones, then the BBC’s industrial correspondent, to act as his driver on a long journey. To mark the strike’s 25th anniversary, he finally reveals the details of his conversation with the man who regarded all journalists as piranha fish swimming in the Fleet Street fish tank.

Key Words: Mineworkers • Arthur Scargill • miners’ strike
