In the early 80's, years leading up to the miners strike, the government was throwing over £140 million a year into UK coal mining. That's an annual loss.
As far as imported coal goes, it was cheaper - then. When the £ was strong against foreign currencies.
But, do we want to return to what it was like in 'them days'?
