Jim Carroll:
Brexit was sold on the inhuman policy of stopping immigrants and refugees from our own oil wars from entering Britain - Powellism brought to fruition
A few more drowned children pulled from the sea is has to make people realise what an incredibly vicious decision that was - surely!
I don’t recall any oil wars with Europe, which is where Brexit will reduce immigration from. Perhaps you’d care to enlighten me.

One of Thatcher's ploys in closing down the mining industry was what the continued use of coal would do to the environment
As has been pointed out many times here. 211 mines were closed under Harold Wilson in the years 1965-1970 (six years). 154 were closed under Margaret Thatcher 1979-1990 (eleven years). When Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister the coal industry was already in terminal decline.
