It has nothing to do with Thatcher/ Cameron bashing. All parts of the UK need jobs. I went to Wales many years ago, and went to clean many kitchens in the Valleys.

I think the best time l went there - in the mining areas was the friendliness of the miners, and l had to clean a Van known as the Miners Chippy, - The Mobile Chippie. These areas have now been shut through political ways.

Communities need work, that's why l believe Coal Mines should reopen with Government support.

Each year we send billions of OUR money abroad. We could use that, Training - yes, the government say we can retrain - why not for the mining community.

IF, Job Centre out ads out looking for Miners - l believe that the queue would be big. Its a job, it will pay the bills.

I cannot think of a better idea.
