Nearly watched the channel earlier, was interested in their reaction to bozo's comments about Maggy Thatcher giving the country a head start on reducing emissions by closing coal mines. I'm sure it was just bozo being funny and not him showing his true feelings of a callous disregard to the suffering his new found friends in the North endured as actions speak louder than words and he's leveling them up as we speak

I think Boris was trying to be funny, but he should remember that most of his opponents have a humour deficit.
Of course he is aware that the closure of the coal mines by Margaret Thatcher had nothing to do with climate issues. The reason for closing them down was perfectly valid - it was no longer a profitable industry and the unions seemed hell-bent on making them as inefficient as possible for their own devious ends, which included the collapse of the government (whether Labour or Conservative).
However, those closures did have the unexpected benefit that Boris highlighted.
I think everyone understands the hardship that was experienced by the miners and their families at the time, and while that was extremely regrettable, there really was no practical alternative available at the time. The country was heading towards bankruptcy.
