When it dawns on you that all those knew better than you its going to get messy... Meanwhile I am still laid up with paddy flu.
ArthurScargill was right and the Tories lied.......... Just lke brexit. Took years for idiots to realise it, and by then all the pits were shut. Good job we can buy and import cheap polish coal..... Oh wait a minute!
We don't need as much coal anymore - In 1960 the UK used 250 million tonnes of coal in 2015 we used just 37 million tonnes - down 39% from 2014. There were several weeks this year where the power stations used no coal at all - the first time since the industrial revolution - so Thatcher was right to phase them out
Funny you should ask - In part you are right, but mainly because of your beloved EU which has been fining the UK Power Plants that use UK coal that contains too much sulphur - https://www.theguardian.com/environ...wer-station-in-breach-of-eu-air-pollution-law Thank **** we are leaving eh
Arthur Scargill,destroyed all the unions in this country.Miners had good jobs on massive money and he list them the lot
Even for you thats total bollocks..... Go do some research on what the closing of the coal industry was really about.
tried worms and maggots without much success,bread,cheese and sweetcorn did a bit better,but didn't expect a lump of coal to be the top bait. Its all about the bait
ahh the old lets pretend to be fishing when you go too far trick! Not a trick i would ever play........
Come on Gloria - you are punching way above your weight on this thread Using the coal mines for example - it's because we are in the EU that the ones that were left had to shut http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...nts-have-closed-and-more-will-be-closing.html
Yes too far! No No The miners were used by Thatcher to install the anti workingman dogma that still exists in the low pay economy we are suffering from to this day. ****s like Sir Phil Green make fortunes meanwhile the poor ****s working for him get turned over.
Scargill trying to change the Government through a dispute,distroyed the unions,of course the Tories wanted to do it but he was the one who did it,the working man quit the unions in hundreds of thousands after the miners strike,they didn't have the majority of public support,the same as the train drivers now.
And the tories and their rich mates are screwing the workers over..... The balance has tilted far too far the other way!
You're right it has,and Scargill has to take a lot of the blame for that.He believed he was god,took up a fight to keep poor mines open,instead of getting good pay offs or no compulsory redundancys for the workers,something he would have won.He lost the fight and a lot of good mines got shut because of his fight.
You have no clue what you are talking about... Political dogma and revenge for two disputes ten and twelve years earlier were what it was 100% about. The militarisation of the police to crush the dispute was effectively a war crime... The cover up that still goes on is a scandal....
