    The truth will hurt, but more likely, will be denied.

    Anyone who grew up in a coal mining town (as I did), lived through those times and wasn't clinging to Scargill's coat tails realised what a megalomaniac he was.

    We are still waiting to hear about Blair/Brown failure to reopen pits and bring back steam engines. As Graham rightly says "The truth will hurt, but more likely, will be denied."

    I've got to spread my green cards about more before I can rep you Gwap

    As if Cameron and his bunch of Torry Toffs have made any improvement

    I take you will be among the first to welcome the Syrian refugees when they start flooding in

    Little upstarts like Hague make all the noise about being tough on immigration when he was in in opposition once he gets in power he does the complete opposite

    the only place you need to look at is how biased the Author is, i think you'll find his place is in the Tory party , which he is a member of

    GaWapito how about posting Scargills views on the subject now you've posted the Tory view

    if its so cheap to import coal, why is my electric bill rising by 10% every year
    Because every time you boil your kettle you are melting icebergs and stuffing up the planet apparently.
    So I guess its a kind of iceberg melting and stuffed up planet tax which probably goes towards building cheap housing for EU farm workers in the UK.

    Well remembered and I appreciate your concern Hopefully no more strikes in the next 2 months, as that's when she gives up work to become a full time mum

    pits started closing because of the rise of Nuclear power and the cheap import of coal from Russia,

    Nuclear power is in decline so now we have no choice but to buy gas and coal from the Russians, and now let them build Nuclear power plants with the Chinese in the UK,


    you couldn't make this up

    Sorry you union fans,facts are there with the coal decline-if it was the answer to our prayers we would still be digging it up.
    Nuclear power is not in decline and will be a necessity in the years to come,we will run out of coal and gas and oil one day -Fact.
    It was sad for the mining communities but it's like anything if it's gone it's gone,applies to us all.
    If one day we have driverless cars/Taxis then Cabbies wont have a job-we will have to do something else-that's life I',m afraid.

    where are you getting your FACTS from les ? your tea leaves or the Tories
    show me some facts to show it's not

    the FACT is Nuclear energy like United are in decline, Nuclear peaked at 26% in 1997 and now is down to 19% and it would be a lot less if they had stopped extending the life of the ageing plants with have in the UK, and a few are to shut in the next few years and most by 2023

    so you better starting pray the REDS come with their money and build a lot more plants
