James Anderton was a truly evil individual - even going to uni in Manchester in the eighties was ‘interesting’, so god knows how the locals felt… And even he thought the Tories were misusing the law against the miners (mind you, he was from a family who worked in the Wigan pits). Don't get me wrong, he was dreadful during the strike, but if somebody so wrong thought even his heroine, Mrs T, was going too far on preventing miners crossing county lines, it shows how bad things became. |

No, but he clearly would have been had James Anderton not been a close friend. No mention of Cyril Smith should be without reference to his support for, and personal benefit from, the asbestos industry. And his work to cover up its effects despite it killing his constituents. |

But with 697 Test Wickets, who are we to criticize?
