Makes me laugh actually, under the National Coal Board miners in general were paid fuck all, it's only when the likes of AMCO/ THYSSENS etc who were contractors came in did wages really pick up, and you had to put the hours in, all you Thatcherites want chucking down the Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield for a week then see what you think, you'd be begging to come out after an hour, my back was fucked just walking through it.

All these opinions from people that have ''studied' the situation make me laugh...go and bollox with that shit. You can only comment if you have been/lived in the situation...
another thing that makes me laugh is this subsidising wages and it costing the government to keep men in jobs...
Hmm, right. So, how much do you think it has cost to close the mines, pay the miners off, redevelop the mines, pay dole to all other people whos jobs were lost(haulage companies, train drivers, signalmen, coal merchants, equipment manufacturers etc) ??????????????
Try a figure above billions you might be in the region

And like what someone else said all the miners needed was a level playing field, Colombian & Polish coal was subsidised and stockpiled in UK, soon as the pits were shut those prices crept up Your also losing the point that we ARE ALL paying sky high energy prices for those costly decisions 25 years ago as every one has us by the balls coz we rely on imports.

I dont have time to read all the pages so if its been said before then sorry.I seem to recall a certain person by the name of Arthur Scargill who kind of screwed the miners over with his militant ways.I also remember that the labour government,before the tories got in,gave us uncollected rubbish on the streets (for weeks),a three day working week and more power cuts that I care to remember as a kid.Blair has taken away our right to free speech,a war that no one wanted coz he is kiss assing george bush,streets full of immigrants,higher taxes than ever,over a hundred new offences for which you can be jailed,full jails,cash for questions,cash for honours and that david bloody blunkett keeps gettin a golden handshake of a few grand then gets another government job 6 months later when they think we have all forgot he got sacked.

How difficult is it to understand that the coal mine made no money and had to be shut no matter how shit that was.
now go and read this:

What is your opinion of the state of this country before thatcher got in and how would you sort it out ?

Another point at Tims great post
Your right tim, they should have learned other trades on a night. They should have got in from a very hard days graft(something you have probably never done) from being down the mine, then gone to learn a trade.. i mean there were plenty of jobs to learn.
In the 1981 census, 44% of Grimethorpe workers were miners[1]. The two pits in the village were called Grimethorpe and Ferrymoor. The latter merged with "Riddings" in 1967, which in turn merged with "South Kirkby" in 1985. Grimethorpe colliery was one of the deepest pits in Britain and, following similar mergers with "Houghton Main" and "Dearne Valley", employed 6,000 men at the time of the closure in May 1993
6000 men in a few pits out of the many that were in Barnsley region. Im so so sure there were 6000 jobs just waiting to be had by these hard working, yet fairly simple men who only knew mining like you know tieing your shoe laces.
Dann. Im not a politition its not my job to say how the country is/should be run. She ruined thousands of lives by closing the mines the way she did, and grey face prick major too. thats enough for me and likewise to hate her.....wether she gave good head ill leave that in your hands...

Lee , Have you ever heard the phrase
" The lesser of two evils " ?
I'm not disagreeing thousands of peoples lives were ruined, but if it was for the greater good of the country as a whole can you ignore it?
Plus it's largely down to her we still have the Pound ( thus retaining a degree of control over interest rates - altho they are 'supposed' to be independant of government as a rule of joining the EU ) Much better than Brussels controlling our economy dont you think? Do you think they'd give a fuck about Barnsley in the grand scheme of things?

I am sure the Iron lady suck cocks very well!
Anyway you keep saying she/Tories ruined thousands of lives etc. Now in order to say that you should be able to tells us where she/Tories went wrong and how the situation should been handled. Do you accept this country was fucked before thatcher came to power for example ?
To me it sounds like a shit situation, people suffered and they then turn round and blame someone for it without being able to back it up as to why its really their fault and offer up what should have happened.
So Lee, lets say you own a business and employ 10 people and what ever reason the business starts running a loss. What you make them redundant or pay them wages out of your saving until you and your family are bankrupt and/or expect the goverment to step in and give you money to pay them to keep your failing business running?

I'm not saying anywhere they didn't have a hard time did I? Or that areas would not be badly affected?
I'm just trying to show you why it actually happened, and the reasoning behind it. And how we could be in a much worse situation.

I am too young(26) to remember miners etc, but why would any government keep subsidising an industry that was losing money at an alarming rate. unions are good for nothing scum, they have played a major part in the downfall of all british manufacuring.
Blair made a sililar decision only recently with rover... couldnt keep pumping millions into a company to provide jobs for a few thousand. The government should in theory be making decisions for the whole country and citizens not regional areas.
As for the arguement that its because of her that todays energy prices are so high.... bull shit. We are running out of natural gas and so it is having to be bought in..
The pits will never re open. as with all the bullshit health and safety we have now, plus the average brit would not be willing to do the work for the money they would be paid as remember its a very labour intensive industry so for it to be successfull labour costs need to be low, even the poles wont work for buttons.
The one thing I will say is thatcher had far bigger balls than bushes lap dog that we have in power now, which is partly down to the northerners voting labour as too pig headed to vote for tories over something that happened years ago.

LEt just clear something up aswell. NOT all pit were losing money.
For example, there was a little Welsh mine in one of the Valleys (cant remember the name atm) and this was just about bought buy the works at the time of closer. It is now still in operation, expanding its workeforce and making a tidy profit. So we need not tar everything here.
I can sit on fence either way, as i dislike a lot of unions and way they hold things to ransom. Look at France and why dont want to be like that.
Learn trades over night, yah fine. but dont you think the miners though of that, besides as Gareth i think said most of them had lots of different trades which could be applied to other industries. Lot of the Valley towns grew up around heavy industry and thats all they had, now due to economic times its more or less vanished which people still living here. I do feel sorry for these people
and the mines etc was part of the communites and provided a LOT.
Im glad trade unions have less power
But im sad about the way the coal situation was handled, was a hard time for a lot of people. And for the people say who gives a fuck, i would like to see you struffling for a year!

Yeah, its deffo fair to say not ALL mines lost money.
I saw a great quote above, "the lesser of two evils". Thats what I'm trying to explain.
In a way you could call the miners heros, as they were the ones faced with the sacrifice for the good of the nation. I'm sure its only when the situation was as dire as it was that the drastic action had to be taken.
I'm not trying to glorify what happened, meerly justify it.
If you do want to point political fingers, we would have to look further back in history to see what put us in that position. I think Thatcher just had to clean the mess up.
Remember, I was only 2 or 3 when the minors strike was on, any further back than that, I'm a bit scketchy

The UK was known as the "sick man of Europe" in the '70s. Yet after Thatcher's radical reforms, the UK emerged from the '80s as one of the most successful economies in modern Europe and yes, unemployment was high but it did eventually come down after the initial job losses and radical labour market reforms.
Whatever people think of Thatcher, you have to admit she saved the British economy from the stagnation and decline of the '70s.

Your trying to show why it happenend. We all know why it happened Tim thats not the discussion here. the discussion is why people like Craig, Diesel and i hate maggie thatcher and the tories. I have said that yes maybe in the long run something needed doing...be it pits closing(doubt that tho) or a new structure to the workforce in the pits....what didnt need doing AND WAS NOT essential was for all the mines to close over a period of about 8 years. Too fast too soon and that has cost the country and the european union billions but no one sees this on here for some reason.
If they had closed some over a period of 8 years but not all, or even better still reduced the amount of coal abstracted from all the mines gradually this wouldnt have had as bad a impact on areas like ours...but no, it REALLY WAS in the tories eyes 'fuck em get em closed' because we are up north away from the big smoke where everything matters.... LMAO @ show me why it happened....who the fooook are you like? Textbook boy...

So, the mines werent opened to actually get coal to fire powerstaions, and to burn in your some to keep warm and to power steam trains then? Well kick me in the balls you learn something new everyday...
where on earth do you get this info from and more to the point, do you actually read what you type?
they ought to burn books like what you read in the powerstations to prevent fools like you reading them

Lee i think every one is jumping on the Coal strike theme for 1 reason or another - we know what a bitch she was, and Mcgregor too, i think the points been made mate, let the Watford Gap mob live in there own little world. PS Under Thatcher at 19 years old i was a shareholder in yorkshire Electricity, who'd av thought it eh ? So i bet you southern lot made a fortune out of her privatisation schemes, to me it was pocket money

And banging on about unions isnt really a subject. She didnt need to close mines and ruin lives just to get rid of the unions....they could have had a big shake up and devised a new structure to how it was all run...

Overall life is better since labour got in, all the tories seemed to do was make it harder for people to get by unless they eanred a lot of money. Its the same old story...cons for rich labour for working class...although labours policies arent as working class now as they had to win the richer folks votes....
Im not saying people should vote cons...You vote who you like. But people wont and shouldnt forget what the tories under thatcher and major did to towns like ours...
