Hi Paul,
Much as i understand your points, and to a certain extent agree with them,
The only reason the British mining Industry was destroyed was for the same reason the former british railways was destroyed ..namely the government of the day..forget unions..it was all politics..don,t ask me why ? I don,t know but at the time the government needed scapegoats to bail them out so Rail, Steel , Merchant Navy, Car industry ,The coal industry,ship building ...the list is endless....
we were once self sufficient in many things now we have to speak to a foreign call centre to ask about our gas bill...need i say more ?
yours derbyroy
