MAGGIE THATCHER FIRST CLASS CUNT

[quelian]

Mining was latterly a well paid job leading to communities with pride. Go to Frickley now and tell people they are lucky they don't have to go down the mines and see what reception you get. The end of coal mining - which may or may not have been an economic inevitability - was still the death of fine and noble communities that generations had built. That, at least, is worth shedding a tear for.

@freddo27 Look up Tower Colliery just outside Aberdare, Thatcher ordered it closed but the miners pooled their redundancy pay and bought it, against the bitter protests of the tories who knew it was viable and were just hoping to re-open the pits some time after the unions were broken, as they are doing now! The pit kept going for 13 years after the tories said it was "unsustainable", funding a clinic, hospital, schools, and jobs for the locals. The last coal was pulled up in 2008.

@djdarren40 One day the rebels of the world will unite, then the cunts that fuck us now will be finished.

That Bitch Maggot still lives!!

@toffas1 ...and we import it because it's mined by people in places where safety is a minor consideration, then wages are shit, and kids as young as 11 or 12 are down there digging it out for a pittance. Soon, they'll organise and fight and win better conditions, then one day some cunt like Thatcher will come along and close everything down. Maybe then, they'll import the coal from up here, once the Tory bastards have destroyed all our bargaining power. The wheel turns, the fat man gets fatter.

Visit the coal mining museum at Wakefield. Go underground on the coal mine experience. If you are lucky, you'll meet 'Big Dave' from Barnsley (He's about 6'4" tall, and now retired)

and he'll tell you all about how pits are now re-opening, and that Maggies closures cost the UK economy (now) about £100 billion ! How the UK has 'Black' coal, and the US, Germany, and China have 'Brown or 'dirty' '' Coal. And we Import it!

@nempozpag They still had ago even when we told them were it was made.

EMI was still involved in other dodge practices............I'm sorry but to me they really showed themselves to be hypocrites.

[nempozpag]

@cally19620 I'm sure if they knew it was made by a collective they wouldn't have been bothered. The problem would be if it was made by a capitalist manufacture for pure reasons of greed (as happened with tons of crass stuff - david beckham incident for example), when the money could have gone to a worthy cause. Post is 2 years old but the point stands. They switched to EMI because they were no longer involved with Thorn and they said themselves that OLI records were just as capitalist at heart.

a place is being prepared for maggot a place in hell!!
