  1. PART ONE Those figures are absurd, as many pits were profitable at the time, and the industry as a whole was profitable on all levels. Many were happy that the many sustainable ones supported the few more unsustainable ones, just as our local buses were a Co-op, and used profits of well paid routes to subsidise not so well used routes, such as small villages outside the main town, oft full of older people, with no cars. These concepts come from communally minded people, who have the conscience to ensure that people have a basic standard of life, and this was the root cause of the birth of the NHS, Co-ops, the WEA, and other similar institutions The govt encouraged the fixing of figures on many levels, and many millions were wasted on, can you believe, new sudden investments, which were never used. This was to fix the figures. Example, creating a new face with all the expensive machinery, and when ready for mining, close the face! So all investment, and no revenue! This happened at many pits, including the one where I worked, and I find this deeply corrupt, even insane and ABSURD!!!!! Many folk never worked again, myself included, and the communities in S Yorks, very similar to S Wales, suffered with mass unemployment, ill health, depression, and suicides, and community and marriage break-ups. Poverty then on many levels. There were some Call Centres set up, but mostly women work in these, so from a tradition town where the man worked heavy and hard, and tipped up their wages for the family upkeep, saw these men become house managers, as more women took to the workplace. I sense this has had a big impact on the way children are brought up, and the way in which our society is shaped, and many men are uncomfortable with this, not begrudgingly, but they need hard work that pays them, for their self-respect. And the lack of the love and warmth of a woman in the house, wreaks havoc over the long term, as men cannot reproduce those qualities, although a few can cook. Most of the mines could have gone on, although with the need for green energy which back then many ecologists noted, these could have been phased out GRADUALLY, and other alternative employment found, which suited the particular areas, and future of the nation, and its energy production and uses. Remember, when industries are nationalised, the govt has greater control over its resources, which was one of the many beenfit of these institutions. All these rational debates are meaningless to the ruling elite though, and they never gave a damn about the genuine ecology, economics, and demographics of the nations and its people, but simply seek to feed their own wishes.

  2. PART THREE Thereby, the onus on working hard for your local people, and the nation, and genuinely caring, has been disbanded as a form of lunacy, and extremism, that the controlling society needs to be aware of, due to the dangers of them to the prevailing culture of evil. Thus, society labels a moral and social conscience as being due to mental health issues, or other forms of ridicule and lies, such as you must be an alien, and you aren't really the person you pretend to be, for they don;t exist, therefore you are an inherent danger, and need to be surveyed by special police for the safety of the greater community. This is how honesty and sincerity is met in the UK now, for after the Strike, our once great nation, lost it heart and conscience, and it is now struggling to have any kind of community, and meaningful identity and purpose. This is hardly surprising when one considers that we are all of a spiritual nature, but to actualise these talents, we needs must act as a human being is meant to, which involves usually thinking of others before thyself, thus love thy brother as thyself. Now how could a nation promote such high ideals, when it prefers casino-capitalism over nationalism, and stock markets and enslavement over co-operative institutions and empowerment of its populus. And this is why many people are extremely depressed, and using a plethora of highly potent stimulants, including stealing other people hopes, dreams, and communities, which is what Thatcher and her rich elite and band of robbers did, just like the Nazis, and now the Russians, for the more some people have, the more they want, until finally some say 'enough is enough' This is why many of us went on strike, for we knew it was more than just about mines and jobs, but a way of living that had been fought for down the yrs though many long gone souls, who suffered and died in terrible conditions. THus, for those people, for the poor, the underprivileged, for freedom, and for Truth...we went on strike, and many of us would have gone on and on, but a yr was not so bad really, in the greater scheme of things. So how are things, well just look around the world, and see the mess and sty we live in, for all humans are interconnected, and the changes incorporated after the Strike have had a domino effect around the globe, not least in the greed of mankind that is barely controlled now, and can only end in WW3, and a nuclear holocaust, for the Strike signified what this was all about, but few truly saw articulated the real enemy, amidst all the pain, bitterness, and acrimony that followed. It is that man has lost his spiritual values, and relies upon his head over his conscience and heart, even when his inner voice, and great prophets warn him, instead he chooses to run with the crowd who choose the easiest way, and follows them into the great abyss that has opened up for most of mankind after the coming Judgement of all that is. Thus, the Strike was about life, love, and eternal existence, for those who truly believed in it, and for others, it means certain destruction! Amen!!!

  3. Thank you for your commiserations, but for myself, the suffering and pain led me to a spiritual rebirth, which has brought me untold wisdom to understand the world, something that I had always sought, although the behaviour of the Tories, and their bands of robbers from the circles of the rich elite, I find utterly, utterly incomprehensible. Everything that has life breathes within it the words 'let there be light', and must come from out of love, for love is all, and thus it returns to love, setting up a mighty heartbeat and cycle that constantly flows between God, and His many servants and Creation, and so it should continue, less decay sets in, for creation only knows movement. Thus, a loving person, and particularly leaders, should think primarily of the needs of their neighbours, whereby all their thoughts and actions stand resoundingly as a fanfare, and hymn of thanks, to the Almighty, the Creator of Life Itself. Everything that opposes this concept can only come from darkness then, and must be evil, the root of which has to be fear. And it is fear that prompts many to surrender their human virtues and qualities, be it fear of scarcity, rejection, abandonment, failure, being alone or lonely, stigma, a lack of possessions, and many others. Thus, having travelled the Road Less Travelled after over 30 yrs in a mining village, the one whose closure precipitated the national mining strike, and having had to move for work, retraining and a mental health restart, and being the recipient of many grave forms of institutional violence, as were the mining villages, I finally came to the place of spiritual rebirth, and knew that a traumatic transformation of the earth was not only needed, but coming, and imminent. What we do for others, we do for ourselves, if it is done with a true heart, and not for reward, then yes, this is a great start, and in working for the NHS, you are working for the people, and thereby God. This was the mindset I had when I shovelled for hrs on end in the mines, and had serious back aches, for I was working for the all, and therefore the Almighty, and for this, it was worth working, and working hard, real hard. In my home town this attitude, of all for one, and one for all, led to over 50% of the town being owned by the 'people', at a time when people could leave their doors open, and of whom many would give you their last penny. How times have changed? The Strike was a pivotal moment for the darkness, to whom the rich and greedy belong, for they had sold their souls to Satan long ago, mark ye well. So there is no pt in hating them, as they are pathetic and lost, but they have made a system that reflects their insanity and depravity, of dog eat dog, for fear produces competition, and with it destruction. Thus now WW3 and a nuclear holocaust will soon come from out of the shadows of hatred and envy that has abounded in the world for a long, long time, and begs the question to each and every man 'man, how do you stand'. For all of us must now reap what we hath sown, although men rarely recognise their true selves and motives, but despite their ignorance in these matters of morality, this is perfect justice, and belongs to the law that states thou shalt reap what thy has sown. Any ensuing karmic suffering then can and should lead us back onto the Road Less Travelled, which is now full of many thorns, for men stopped using it long ago, abandoning it for a life of ease, into which their spirits were tempted, as they fell into a deep, deep slumber. So fear not, and tarry not, of and in these earthly planes, by proffering your selfless love and kindness within the NHS. So may I wish you and your kin well and blessed, as you did so to and for me, and I sincerely hope that you rediscover the meaning of life, eternal life, which is deeply embedded in the words, 'love thy neighbour as thyself.' Thank you again, and all the very, very best to ye!!! Have a good day, and year!

  4. PART TWO Their main goal then was to destroy the power, voice, wealth and conscience of the working classes, so they could brazenly STEAL the nationalised industries and housing stocks for themselves. It is an irony not lost on me that the working classes paid for these through their taxes, for the rich elite dodged taxes, oft paying nothing, and even then added insult to insult by using tax havens with unusually high investment returns. A recent PM, and Thatcherite, had his education paid for by his tax dodging father, a CROOK, by which the rich could perpetuate their hold on power and wealth, by ensuring future leaders come out of their midst. Thus, do they protect their own! Recent events have also shown the arrogant ways in which these people say one thing, and do another, breaking rules at a whim, when their selfish desires have need of satiation. What I saw in the Strike was a last stand of a moral conscience versus the greed of these aft cat rich elites, who wished to carve up the wealth of our hard-working nation, cast the workers on the scrap heap, and rely upon investment and bank managers, share and stockholders, to prop up their illicit regime, which is founded upon the foundation stones of TYRANNY, GREED, OPPRESSION, and ENSLAVEMENT of the masses. These closures were only for the benefit of all these greedy scoundrels then, who have taken our once great country down into the sewers, but how could it be otherwise, when the leaders are barefaced liars, thieves, criminal crooks, and murderers of people's hopes and spiritual wishes. Thus, we now have a society that is awash with selfishness and greed, and the Strike is when unity, honesty, hard work, sincerity, love and community co-operation died a death, and were replaced by heartless monsters, epitomised by Thatcher, and subsequent PMs, who do not have a heart, only greed and the lust for power to ensure their selfishness is amply rewarded. Since the strike, there was a sudden and tremendous decline in men working for their livings in nationalised industries, and a remarkable surge in many people's, and nation's, finances being tied into stocks and shares companies, investment banks, and insurance and pension companies. Thus, far less producers in society, but far more hangers-on, people of a parasitical nature, whose main aim in life is to make as much money out of others, as is inhumanely possible, retire early, and enjoy whatever pleasures they seek, often out of the country in some sun blissed place.
