General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

listen freaky those pits you mentioned were mainly at the end of their life & you could walk into another the next day . thatcher on the other hand shut them down out of pure hatred for the miners . it states in her memoirs that she wanted to take them on in the very 1st day in office only to be talked out of it by willy whitelaw . those pits she shut down had plenty of life in them & golborne had 200yrs of coal left in it . i suppose you think about the same of the steel industry which she also decimated with her henchman Ian MacGregor & lets not forget the manufacturing industry either . so count them up as well .
