Isn't it ironic? On one hand We have the TUC berating the policies brought in by the Thatcher government in terms of closing down coal mines and yet if they had their way every single remaining coal mine would close tomorrow if you take their reasoning to it's (only) logical conclusion:

So on the one hand We have the TUC opining that We have to do something about climate change which involves progressing with measures to bring about a low carbon economy whilst on the other telling their members that it was awful to close the mines down.
So do these trade union officials have some magical and novel use for the remaining coal stocks besides coal tar soap?
Such is the madness of politics. One big game where the facts don't figure.
