big andy 62 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 coal mines were shut because there were better safer and more profitable ways to extract coal, you that moan about them closing then you moan how unsafe they were, even in this time there are men losing their lives and the amount of men that have health problems because they worked down them so although men lost jobs a lot retrained or got work elsewhere where at least they were safe and healthy, i'm not patting thatcher on the back for doing it as i believe it would have been done eventually by whoever was in power. Bull shit. The mines were closed because it was cheaper to import coal from from abroad mined in exactly the same way without the required investment by the government.... I did not here anyone complaining at the large payouts and the subsequent "vibration white finger " claims ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onion jonny 527 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 yes coal was imported because it was cheaper but the open cast sites were the way forward, they left a scar but they produced much more coal quicker and safer so it was just a matter of time till mining was not cost effective and good riddence to it as the conditions that men had to endure while risking their health and their lifes is best consigned to the past or maybe you think a bunch of old lads sitting in the club coughing their guts up while they talk about the good old days is worth it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 So I am guessing most what communism state of life I love you long time etc. We all work in a capitalism state we take money from our employers etc so the bitter for all you knocking maggie you cant get away from every mouthfull of food you eat is bourne from capitalism . So unless your all going give up work and live out of woods your in the poo. Make the best off your life instead of moaning about a great PM from 20 years ago and think of the future and make life better for our children and elderly etc. Cookie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
