It was naive in thinking foreign coal suppliers would be cheaper even
after we had shut down our own, that was Tory naivety,

Agreed. However, both they and the Labour bunch appear not to have
learnt the lesson as they have made exactly the same assumption

Scargill was
naive because despite record coal stocks, he tried to beat the
government,

He also started the strike at the wrong time. Whether that was being
naive, stupid or something darker is debatable.
