Hi Cookie, I think what happened was, The Miners were on a hiding from the old bag, as she wanted to prove a point, and that she would not give in, what she eventually did, was kill a community of familes up and down the country, she brought havoc to this country that has never been seen before, The mining community were proud people, all the families went down the pit to earn a living, and give power to there country, we depended on the coal industry, l was very young then, but won't forget sitting there and thinking what my father would have said.
This country would have saved money becuase of coal, we now waste millions of pounds on trying to find ways of producing energy for the future, we the consumer are paying a fortune for energy from greedy companies that import from oversea's, whereas we have energy under our feet, and this can be produced very quickly, with the science we have today, And if l was driving down the road and saw her walking across the road, l wouldn't stop, she crippled this country, and l will never forget it.
