No Libyan money to the NUM has ever been proved, and the tiny but media-loved Militant Tendency barely existed outside Liverpool and its environs.
But the London-based and solidly middle-class Workers' Revolutionary Party, which was noisily pro-Gaddafi, had so much money in the Eighties that it was able to put out Newsline, a daily - yes, a daily - newspaper.
Now, whatever happened to the London-based, solidly middle-class, and, moreover, IRA-connected sectarian Left from those days...?

I know you are no big Harriet Harman fan, but her PPS is Arthur Scargill's chosen successor as President of the NUM. That pretty much guarantees him office after 2015. Possibly the people who really were funded by Gaddafi are being displaced by the people who were smeared as being.
