That’s sad about the coal mine closing. We’re fighting to keep ours open, too.

Dang nasty globull warming freaks.

The distruction of the mining industry started in 1983 after the year long strike by the mining union.
It wasn’t a strike in the usual sense, they where trying to force the govenment to invest in the industry and make it more efficient to bring it into the future as a profit making enterprise.
The Govenment declined and so did the industry.
