Arthur Scargill was the cause of the miners demise.

I sang all the protest songs back in the 60's and 70's, and I don't think I have a favorite unless it is "Blowin' in the Wind."

Eve of Destruction , by Barry McGuire i964/5 This song is still relevant to this day.

I have none. I don't regard "protest songs" as at all significant; just moaning.

As for the "Hippychick" duo. Never heard of them.

The government had no such policy, the miners were led into striking by their own union's leader who as a union full-time officer ensured he lost no pay personally; and many miners left it to form their own; but I doubt those two girls would know much about current affairs in their parents' (grandparents'?) youth.

Even if they are now trying to exploit it.

As for their name: "Hippy" is 1960s. Definitely of their grandparents' time.
