Arthur Scargill to give anti-EU talk in Chesterfield
Mr Scargill, 78, will explain why Britain should vote to leave the union in June’s referendum.
Gary Matthews, of Labour Leave, said: “This is a real coup for Chesterfield. Arthur doesn’t do so many meetings these days and this will be a great opportunity for people all over this region.”
