As for cheaper coal from overseas, the amount of benefits that had to be paid out to these decimated communities must have swallowed up those savings. It was shithole but it was their shithole and, courtesy of the pit, had almost full employment and a good spirit. Probably even more of a shithole now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a balancing act for sure- obviously they won't have been baling out a loss making industry, but, as you say, maybe unexpected consequences elsewhere. No doubt it was a battle to curb the unions.

We probably wouldn't have been able to tow it to Dublin anyway? Booing the national anthem again tonight no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
