Youths and say for example young lads and lasses who have been before the beak, could take an offer go and get trained to go down the pit and earn money and repay society or face other dull duties. You would be surpised at what incentives that would give them.  |
i would love to agree with you ,i think a month is a bit optomistic though,
seriously though i know it would be a huge challenge both financialy and in engineering but wouldn't it be great if a gov. decided to invest in re-opening pits
it could put us back on the world stage as far as engineering breakthroughs are concerned, it would be a huge challenge but well worth it to bring back some self esteem to this once great manufacturing nation
after all, you can't run a country on kebab shops and supermarkets
