He lives next to a dual carriageway and complains about the "noise" from the machines? Get a life mate, the land looked like a bombsite, burned out cars, fly tipping etc. Put up and shut up, look at the money Millers are bringing to the local economy as a whole.

i work in a cement factory in Aberthaw, next door to the coal fired power station. this place takes in 13000 tonnes a day when its busy. where does it come from?? opencast mines thats where! If it shut, where would you people get your power from?? not from the stupid wind farms. you people need to get a life!

Can I just ask you a question, do you have electricity in your home then? Do me a favour and go and moan about somthing you actually know what you are talking about. I couldnt here anything but road noise from the road where you were filming from. You people are just good for nothing lazy bastards who havnt got nothing better to with your time. Get a life people and let a honest man earn a living.

you didnt want st meryn meat you dont want this land reclamation scheme it is now the 4th of january2010 we are in the grip of a cold spell have the courage right now to switch off your lights and your heating if you dislike the way the coal is being used to keep you and the rest of the professional moaners comfortable, get a life merthyr has got enough of a bad name without you idiots adding to it.

Well to be honest I think they should stop complaining, Coal is the Future in my mind, they have got CCS technology now that captures the CO2, things look bright, this has been installed at Longgannet power station in Airshire Scotland. They ought to be glad the coal is being moved by rail and not road, I am a big railway man, and am going to start training to become a driver in 2 and a half years time. If we wont to solve Global warming, use the railways and burn coal in a clean way COAL RULES

The only problem with that opencast in Merthyr it brings work to Merthyr and you lot dont like working. And another thing you cant here nothing from the opencast but the dual carriage way right be hind your houses. If you dont like opencast switch your lights and heating off because with-out coal you wouldnt have electricity.

This protest by Terry Evans is about one thing only MONEY compensation. As for the other two go to the MOON! The only noise that can be heared close to Terry Evans' Bungalow is the A4060 trunk road, so i suggest you move! How many other people from Mountain Hare will attend your march on saturday, ( Not Many) !!!

500 metre buffer zone in England & Scotland, it certainly is about money... £500 million pounds worth of coal...

The protestors entered the site at 6am, they didn't damage any water containers at all, it was a peaceful protest... an amusing attempt to pin incompetence elsewhere on the protestors...

some of the protestors were on site the previous evening as can verifyed by the police. The container contained water treatment chemical approx 1250 gallons undiluted, which also can be verified by the police.

This cannot be verified by the police at all, it was nothing to do with the protestors at all, if it had been the police would be pressing charges, which they are not. It's just fabrication. The protestors have zero interest in vandalism, so take the rumours elsewhere.
