As misguided as Scargill was in his approach and the subsequent ruination of the trade unions by his actions, he was right about the existence of a "hit list" that would close down the pits and also effectively end the steel industry in our region. Trouble was no-one believed him until it was too late.

We seem to have exported the coal mining disasters to China these days. There's always some poor bugger being blown up and buried alive.

Or flooded out. :roll:

It's the unlicenced pits where they don't care about anything but profit where all that happens. It's illegal like but they're like dragons teeth.
