regrets

I'm from Pontefract, in the heart of the coal-mining area.

Happily times HAVE moved on, and quite frankly there are no more poverty-related problems in the former Yorkshire coalfield than anywhere else in the UK.

I work throughout the area on a daily basis (Energy Efficiency Industry).

If the great British public had been prepared to pay the price for home-produced fuels rather than imported, and other goods, then our industries would be employing more people.

But no, they would rather be selfish, gullible and stupid.

Result: Richer foreign countries, struggling Britain.

I twas the extreme socialist (we can all drive 7 series bmw's) unions what ruined it all.

It was actually cheaper to leave the coal in the ground and bring it in from elsewhere.

I will continue to vote Conservative like I have since 1979, the year Maggie Thatcher won the race to premiership. Un-arguably the greatest pm since Sir Winston Churchhill.

Precisely It explains why people from all over the world would want to live here.

If the UK was in such a bad way, it wouldn't be the case.

Great Britain is, whether you like to admit it or not, is still Great.
