25 years since I kicked the Miner's ar5ses, happy days.Still sheep led by a donkey, old Shredded wheat head had no chance! There was old film of some Union idiot on the telly this morning. (yorkshire accent) "These pits are being closed for nowt but economic reasons" - Not sh1t Sherlock! hellooo....! I think what really pi55ed them off was that through the 70's those Union numpties effectively put me in power by thier ever more loony antics! Anyway do you think they'd have had more chance with Ted in charge?

Choice between expensive mining followed by expensive processing or cheap imports. Writing was on the wall.
Mick and Arthur were power crazed idiots and Thatcher was giving no compromise.
I hated Mrs T back then but hindsight has put me on her side.
British cars, steel and coal were doomed, brain dead on government subsidy. All Thatcher did was switch off the life support.
Labour, buying votes in the 70s, buying votes now.
