Re: Local Elections on Thursday.

Well as I understand it the mines were not economically viable as its much cheaper to import as its so expensive to extract it here,-----------never will i agree with that cyfr, if you would care to go into the history deeper you will discover that many of the pits WERE economically viable, it was all about CRUSHING SCARGILL. who love him or hate him was CORRECT the only way he was wrong - was he UNDERESTIMATED the pit closures, pity the tory press dont tell that story.
