"It's grade one youth development. It is also a very useful revenue stream for one of the few clubs who do not need to stress about meeting the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules."

The narrative suits when it suits.
 
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 the as soon as they were switched on would have put those pots straight into profitability.

It was a political decision not a financial decision of the Tories and that twat Thatcher.
There's quite some irony that any attempt to open any new mine or any other source of energy for that matter is met with resistance from nimbyanism. Housing estates have been built on cleared land, protests arise from anti-windfarm protesters and of course there is the Stop Oil lot who would wipe out traffic if they could. And don't forget Scruffy Jim and his fracking. It's a strange world we live in now.
 
Maybe compare ideological vandalism with corporate greed in ither industries & ask why were those bailed out or subsidised others weren’t. If the uk had a sovereign wealth fund like Norway it wouldn’t be an issue but it hasn’t.
Nationalised industries were subsidised and provided with huge government grants /soft loans ....and remained uneconomic due to overstaffing, inefficiency and low productivity along with long and destructive political strikes !!

The money spent on over staffing circulated in the economy. The dividends paid to hedge funds is used to buy up more assets & create a divide.
