you don't get it. industries aren't like maggie thatcher said, a shopping basket and if theres threepence off you buy from someone else.
they are interdependant. when you lost the coal. you lost the steel.. you lost the mining equipment manufacturing - we were world leaders in that. you lost huge swathes of transport. huge reasons for running trains.

Yes, and rather than just blaming Maggie, look at the actual history.
Callaghan & Wilson closed more pits than Thatcher.
But they were the labour party, so presumably that's Ok.

Even when Maggie did close them, some had already had a year of non-production due to strikes (or maybe walk-outs). The strikes were also endorsed by the Labour Party.

Let's put the blame where it belongs.
