    If it's costing an employer more to pay you than you're earning them in return, what's the point in carrying on?

    Haha, why do you think they were closed? spite might be one reason, getting rid of a powerful union to enable you to absolutely pillage the country might be another, take a good look around you right now, the country and it's communities are in a right state, that's been engineered for many a year, and you're one of the people who've allowed it, sat back and watched it happen, all the while blaming the wrong folk. I can say this, i had a go, a good go, and can sleep easy in that knowledge....

    Another little snippet of fact for you, my pit, Silverwood was still making big profits when it was closed in 1994, i wonder why that was then, and that goes for many others also...

    Just for clarity for you, when we went on that strike, it wasn't about money, ask yourself a question, do you think 200k men go on strike, for a year, for a pay dispute??? The fact is it was obvious to most what it was about, shame you couldn't support that eh.

    £200k a year? I think that explains why there wasn't any profit left.
