becuz she was spiteful like Ida rostant.

Well, the coal mines were losing 1.5 Billion pounds per year (in todays figures calculated to inflation). This was a tremendous debt for the UK, the coal mines were not profitable since the 1960's. Thatcher eliminated the federal debt and reversed the economic socialist-driven downturn in the UK. It's true miners lost their jobs, but the coal mines were not working out. Something had to be done.

Was the 1984 miners strike worthwhile?

No, not from the very beginning, there was coal reserves for at least two years and thatcher was stubborn and wanted to enforce the free market program. It was a plan of Thatcher's, to in the long run close all nationalised coal mines; particularly the Welsh coal mines as she was anti-welsh. As a result of this the main source of employment in wales and northern England were destroyed and 20,000 people were left unemployed.
