Vaguely tongue in cock
Ask a miner if he wants his son to be a miner. Speak from a real position, and not a rose-tinted idealist stance. Aye, Thatcher deserves death (repeatedly), but when it's cheaper to bring coal to the UK from Australia than to dig it out our own soil, I couldn't give a XXXX for the pits. Now if they had opened up biomass farms and retrained the miners to grow this, I'd have been a lot happier also.
