You have too much time on your hands
Whether the mining and steel industry was profitable or not, 350,000 miners lost their only source of income with no help or alternative from the government except unemployment benefit.

Never mind North Sea Oil paid for it.......

Imagine being told that the job you've been trained for and worked all your life is being taken away and there was nothing else put in place for you. Wouldn't you want to protect that job and the means to support your family?
