"Maggie Means War" refers to the 1984-85 UK miners' strike, where Margaret Thatcher's government opposed the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) during their year-long industrial dispute to prevent pit closures. The conflict was a defining moment, with the union led by Arthur Scargill fighting the government's plans, which aimed to reduce union power and close unprofitable mines. The miners' eventual defeat led to lasting poverty in coal-mining communities and paved the way for the privatisation of nationalised industries.
