    Crazy, considering the resource that they are mining is still needed to this day. Rather cart it across the globe than support it's own industry., This country sucks.!

    Remember back in the 80s most of the public were on the side of the miners. If these mines were here today Just Stop Oil would be demanding the mines be closed.

    The torys have always split the working class and are very good at it ,all because the working class let it happen. The real enemy of the working class are themselves, I should know im one of them and I see it . Today we have a tory MP in Don Valley, glad my mam and dad are no longer here to see it .
