No mention of Senghenydd, missed opportunity, joined deep underground to both Nantgarw and Windsor mines and the largest disaster... Hundreds in one day, gone but not forgotten... Yet!

Actually, you could also have mentioned ABERFAN! So tragic, how their father's risked life and limb underground, just to come home and find their children buried alive under the dark mismanaged spoils of the mine! So poignant!

I still dislike her, pleased she did not end well. She imported subsidised coal and told us to compete, Scargill was not too clever, with her it was spite.

I sorry but Maggie was right and Arthur was wrong. (That’s before you start to worry about global warming.) He lost the industry through his mis management of the Strike ballot. I was there, in 1984, working in the industry. He tried to guilt a workforce to going on strike without a ballot, their were many who would not follow an undemocratic call to arms, with the subtext of bringing down an elected government.
