hint: look up the employment figures and coal production for each decade from 1950 and post them up for us.

so you were 4 years old in the mid 80s?
figures dont tell the story,the destruction of whole communities does though

My family owned a small coal mine many decades ago, a revision of the old Lucy Thomas set. I can say from what I know of that history the decline of the industry was occuring way before Thatcher came around.
Maybe she had a part but it was the icing on the cake she was not the cause as such

I thought this would be a thread about interesting personal messages people had received.

How disappointing.

Yes but how did Thatcher destroy the mining industry?

Farage appears to be writing history. The rest will disappear into oblivion as non-entities.

That reads like a TruckerT post from last year

Anyone who is going to be PM during the 2020s is almost certainly already in the House of Commons as a serving MP with the possible exception of David Milliband who could possibly make a come back.

This means that anyone who is PM during the 2020s will almost certainly be a drone and a total bag of !!!!!!.
