Bring back coal and all fossil fuels because there's more likelyhood that we are all going to die from Green induced cold and starvation as from C02 Global warming conspiracy theories.....

Thatcher closed the pits. Scargill was the only one to speak the truth during the miners strike when he said that was thatcher's intention.

We now sit on loads of coal and have to import it from Russia and other eastern places, and it's inferior quality to what we could produce. If any of you have tried firing a steam loco, you'll know what I mean.

"Peep" said Thomas.


correct =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>but aided and abetted by SCABS like Nidge #-o #-o


I wonder how many people now remember that Arthur Scargill, shamefully, never called a national ballot. That is because he would almost certainly have lost it.

I wonder how many people are aware that the NCB offered very generous settlements at various stages.At the beginning of the strike the energy secretary Peter Walker offered a redundancy package that was hugely generous by contemporary standards. In July the NCB offered Scargill what the engineers' leader John Lyons called the nearest thing to victory that any trade leader can ever expect – "95 per cent of what they are after". But Arthur was after something else, and pressed on, to the very bitter end.[/quo


iTS MY VIEW YOU DONT HAVE BALLOTS YOU WALK OUT WHICH IS WHAT MOST MINERS DID ....................SOME SCABBED LIKE NIDGE AND WANNA :twisted:

TRADE UNIONISTS DONT SELL JOBS REDUNDANCY WAS NOT AN OPTION
THOSE JOBS WERE MERELY LENT TO THEM FOR THE WORKING LIVES FFS THATS FEKKING BASIC TRADE UNIONISM #-o

THE MINERS WERE BETRAYED BY THE FEKKING SCABS KINNOCK THE TUC AND THE LABOUR PARTY SOME LIKE THE PRINTERS FOUGHT WITH THEM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER =D> =D> =D>

Thatcher owed her most uncertain victory in large part to the folly and the strangely blinkered obstinacy of Arthur Scargill. Proof of his almost pathological aversion to inconvenient fact is his remarkable failure, to this very day, to acknowledge that he lost the strike; he lives in isolation, estranged from almost all his friends and family, in a limbo of denial.

The miners' total defeat, and particularly their unnecessary humiliation, was due in large part to Scargill's intransigence at the time, and to the failure of any of his close colleagues, of the TUC and of the Labour leader Neil Kinnock, to stand up to him and make him accept any of the reasonable compromises offered by a nervous government. Other trades unionists recognised this, or came to recognise it, at the time. The electricians' union leader Eric Hammond, for instance, borrowing the phrase used of the troops in World War I, described the miners as "lions led by donkeys".

The result was the destruction not just of the miners' unions, but of trades unionism in general in this country. Almost overnight the mighty union leaders turned from household names into nonentities, unions themselves became an irrelevance with a collapsing membership and they have remained so to this day.


ERIC HAMMOND YOU KKUNT THAT PARASITE WHO ORGANISED THE SCAB ELECTRICIANS AT WAPPING WHY NOT QUOTE FEKKING HITLER YOU FEKKING EEJIT :twisted:

ARTHUR WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN ALL HIS PREDICTIONS THE WORKERS HAD THE CHANCE TO DESTROY THE KKKUNTING TORY VERMIN FOR ALL TIME ............AND THEY BOTTLED IT :twisted: NOW WE PAY THE PRICE ........................FFS YER FEKKING THICK #-o #-o

Actually, Poland is no stranger to coal mining


Quote:
Coal mining in Poland produced 144 million metric tons of coal in 2012, providing 55 percent of that country’s primary energy consumption, and 75 percent of electrical generation. Poland is the second-largest coal-mining country in Europe, after Germany, and the ninth-largest coal producer in the world. The country consumes nearly all the coal it mines, and is no longer a major coal exporter




What would happen here if new pits and coal fired power stations were to be built?


Quote:
Germany. The main source of electricity is coal. The recent plan to build 26 new coal plants is controversial in light of Germany's commitment to curbing emissions. Considerable amounts are burned in coal plants near the mining areas to produce electricity and transporting coal over far distances is not economically feasible; therefore, the plants are located near the extraction sites.

Im glad to say I was never a "scab" (as some put it), I had left before the disaster of 1984

I did work in the previous dispute (1975) but only as an apprentice craftsman, not on production.


So there


HOWEVER, given the chance, i would have worked through the 5hithead-led kamikazi event of 84/85

This was a idiotic as Napoleon and/or Hitler attacking Russia in winter and had the same result

Hope villa beat you at the weekend, and that Scott Sinclair scores all the goals :D

Oh they tell me Prince Harry (is a regular in the East Stand).

At least, he was a gooner when MP of Enfield Southgate. It's not inconceivable that he's "done a Hoey" and switched clubs since moving to his new constituency of Kensington & Chelsea.
Brian Mawhinney
Former Tory Party chairman
John Greenaway MP
Shadow (Tory) Sports Minister. Allegiance confirmed when seen complaining about 2001 FA Cup semi final venue on telly
Chris Patten
Former Tory MP and Hong Kong Guvnor. Heard on Radio saying "I'll die an Arsenal fan".
John Bercow
Shadow Home Office minister, "rising star" of Tory party.
