The threatened BA strike

Another one I see. The fact remains that even the then leader of the Labour Party, Kinnock, told Scargill at a Labour Conference that he had wrecked the coal industry 'single-handed'.

Ah well, if Kinnock says it, it must be true, eh?
I think you'll find that Kinnock was critical of Scargill's handling of the strike, not the strike itself. And you'll also find that Scargill is critical of Kinnock's lack of support for the strike.
Of course, if Scargill hadn't implemented a strike and left the way clear for Thatcher, then I'm sure she would have taken care of the coal industry just fine.

The relationship and role of Scargill & Thatcher in the demise of the coal industry was both symbiotic and synergetic.

More likely on the 'how to...' site under 'how to... improve your vocabulary'. You know the site, the one where you got your debating style and manners: 'how to... behave like an obnoxious tool'.

Which words did you consider "big". This is rather interesting.

I suppose you just cannot help acting the clown.

Good Lord, what utter drivel! No wonder it appeals to the likes of you and your
compatriot.
