"The fixture with so much history" promises the Sky Presenter before a montage of United-Spurs goals from 20-30 years ago.

Most mines were uneconomic, loss making, overmanned and under productive.

Like the railways, motor manufacturing and town halls they were infested by militant union left wingers/ communists....Remember Liverpool ??

The Union leaders didn't give a fuck about good men doing their best, they wanted control without accountability.

Workforces & families were sacrificed by Scargill, Robinson etc on the alter of hopeless ideology whilst they lived in comfort at union's expense.

Scargill should've been sent to the tower !!

That’s one way of looking at it…… but that’s what was printed in all the newspapers.

So instead of keeping jobs in local communities and the money from those jobs being spent in those communities. Even tax collected by her majesty’s revenue. Instead unemployment benefit paid out to people who wanted to work.

Coal pouring in from Poland and Venezuela where kids were used in the mines.

Tell me how economical it is to close down mining communities and paying out on social benefits while importing coal and exporting money to Poland and Venezula for the coal.

I know for a fact pits were made to keep running old unprofitable seams so those pits could be shut because they were making a loss. Some of those pit had machine at the face of new seams that as soon as they were switched on would have put those pits straight into profitability.

It was a political decision not a financial decision of the Tories and that twat Thatcher.

I blame steam power, should have been strangled at birth for all the jobs it cost
