The big road show that NEW LABOUR put on during their election campaign, remember all the Union Flags and stirring music, a computer on every desk blah, blah,blah fooled thousands of people, I voted for them myself to my eternal shame,but when I found out the pack of lies I had been taken in by, I joined the BNP. And I have been a happier man ever since.

“Labour have refused to step in, in any contracts between power generators and UK coal to help secure a better price for indigenous coal closer to the market value”

As long as I live I will never come to terms with the evil treachery that has undone us.

If Joe Gormley was alive today, he would be a fully paid up member of the BNP. All you ex-coalminers that aren’t members yet, I have just one question: WHY?

I remember talking to an old mate in the early nineties. He was working for a company which imported, I think it was, coal from Columbia. His job was driving the machine to clean the coal because it was totally unfit for purpose. We had closed our pits and were importing from a corrupt regime responsible for the deaths of thousands worldwide via drug sales, abuse etc.

We are in the same boat now whilst we are sitting on hundreds of years of coal production. The USA and, I think, South Africa are turning coal into oil to lessen the impact of imports from the Middle East. Why can’t we do the same?

It’s all a game Labour and CONServatives have been playing since 1946. Labour have been selling out our country for Marxism and their One World idea while they line their own pockets. CONServatives have been selling us out for profits & personal gain, while following the One World idea. IT KEEPS THEM IN POWER … Neither give a stuff about Gt Britain OR its people.
Wake from your coma Britons - BNP = your last chance!

The trade union and the government worked hand in hand to destroy the miners! I was in the tgwu, we wanted to support the miners. We were not allowed and we were given false information, so too were the dockers. The unions lied to all of us. I now know they were taking bribes to sell us down the river.
BNP 4 me

Spot on Warriorbrave-I too was a tgwu member at that time. I remember it well.
Wake up you Union members - your last chance - BNP

Nothing against the colliers, my dad was one, but in todays sick society any re-opening of pits would be overseen by an american multi-national and the main employee`s would be eastern european migrant peasants, all assisted by the treacherous unions!

Only under a BNP government should the pits be re-opened!

I saw through the treachery of unions years ago as a young man, they were no good before Liebour got into power and were even worse once they had. I scrapped my membership to the union in 1995 after a series of embarrasing meetings between our union reps and the Company I worked for. They were very unprofessional and didn’t have a clue what they were doing, they even protected workers who should have been instantly dismissed for gross misconduct (violence to other staff) and threatened strike action if they were.

The similarity between Liebour of then and now and the Unions is that they have always lied and taken backhanders, sorted jobs for their mates and generaly sucked up to companies to get better deals for themselves and not the people they represent.

The NUM was the strongest, most traditional, working class based union in my experience. Margaret Thatcher and the Coal Board split it and destroyed it as a political act, not an economic act which was shameful for our economic self sufficiency. No alternative employment was offered the out of work communities that were destroyed, again shameful. It was said that the unions were too powerful, although I believe that it was the people who led these unions that were sometimes the issue. Unions now have little power, and bearing in mind the pathetic minimum wage many people live on, there is clearly a need for stronger unions as only they represent working people at present. As with many of our industries (which it must be noted offered high quality goods–tools and machinery in particular), they are gone for good unless the BNP gains power. It is false economy to think that goods from abroad, notably China, are a cheap buy–they simply do not have the quality of many things we produced, and need frequent replacement. Not as good for the environment as producing a quality item that lasts, like we used to.
I hope it is the intention of the BNP to reinstate our coal and steel industries as a priority. Your lead statement that Labour should take pride in rebuilding the coal industry is one I don’t understand, in reality Labour did nothing for the miners and sat on the fence during the year plus length of the strike. It was an Achilles heel for the Labour party!

jao7-Yep,it was Thatcher`s intention to break a certain Mr.Scargill … along with the NUM. Unfortunately for the Union it was his visits to USSR that sealed his fate - March on BNP

What else can you expect from a Labour government? The same CLOWNS that run the country are running the Labour Party and they are £24m in debt.

It will probably be best to vote BNP next time!

Support for the Labour Party is declining rapidly all over the country. Unfortunately Tyneside still has its share of Labour Supporters, who will have nothing said about the Party. I am quick to remind them that it was “Labour who closed the Local Post office” and “LABOUR who closed the LAST PIT IN THE NORTHEAST, at Ellington” These Labour types hate to be reminded of that FACT, and can’t look me in the eye. Two freinds of mine, who were made redundant from the Pits in the Mid 80s, during the reign of that B**** Thatcher, told me “there were still vast reserves of Coal undernearth the Northeast! Unfortunately, our greedy Labour/Con establishment preferred to throw our miners on the scrap heap and import coal.

I was never any big fan of Thatcher, but Wilson closed more pits than the Tories ever did. The Communists were destroying the Country in 1979 when she took power, Marxist Scargil tried to use the Miners to bring down the Government, and lost the fight. Unfortunately the miners were being used for Political ends, leave the coal in the ground for future generations it was not worth the lung disease, vibration white finger, housemaids knee, broken limbs,and cancers that it caused. On top of this all of the golden white sands of the North East of England were totaly destroyed, the once beautifull beaches are now a mess of filthy slagg and pit spoil that will take Centuries to clear up.

Surely with coal at an all time high, its time to re-open our pits?
Something we can actually export rather than import?

All part of the Milton Friedman-inspired tactic of delivering electro-shock-type body blows to the ordinary population of Britain in the shape of economic breakdown, the selling out of everything to multinationals, privatising anything that isn’t screwed to the deck, increasing the price of all necessaries, and expanding the wealth of the really rich exponentially in order to bring about a totally free free market with no safety net of any kind for the populace. Friedman’s devotee, Margaret Milk-Snatcher was one of the first proponents of his recommended shock tactics in the West and started the downward slide as described above.

In Chile, Friedman’s proteges–the Chicago Boys, a sort of intellectual Mafia who advocated this type of economic approach–encouraged Pinochet to do the same to the accompaniment of torture, disappearances and brutality, but this was considered inapplicable to a first-world society such as Britain was then. Instead, there was the sudden desire on the part of the government to get rid of everything under state control–and how well they have succeeded! Combine this economic shock with the cultural and psychic shock of multiculturalism and anti-indigenism, coupled with a sub-Marxist wannabe totalitarian regime in Brussels, and you have a recipe for the confusion and bewilderment Friedman intended to produce in the people to render them helpless and malleable. As you will have guessed, I’ve been reading Naomi Klein’s “The Shock Doctrine”–it’s a real eye-opener to a frightening can of worms. Only the BNP can help put the lid back on so vote BNP for a new angle on things!

Sheriff: for further info on the
phenomenon of the use of “shock testing” to produce confusion, malleability and helplessness, have a look also at the following link:

It’s a captured Bilderberg Group document - or at least the first part of it - produced in May, 1979. Everything you say about Milton Friedman’s tactics is perfectly in accord with those of
the Bilderberg Group and it is perfectly reasonable to suppose that he was a well-entrenched member of it.

So far as out coal reserves are concerned, AgentIron is correct. We will need all our coal for ourselves, none exported, otherwise we would be wasting it in the same way as the LibLabCon have wasted our North Seal oil and gas.

Oil from coal, referred to by esselliott, is a lng-established technology, first used by the Germanas after they lost control of the oilfields in Ploesti, Romania. The South Africans took it up as a response to a UN oil embargo to try to force the SA reime to abandon apartheid and now
it is becoming big business in the U.S.

Readers with an interest in this subject would do well to have a look at Ed.’s summary of the amazing things you can do with coal, including the production of high-engery-density liquid fuels,
in his addendum to a post under the article immediately preceding this one.

Apart from the setting up of the National Health Service during its postwar reign (which, in any case was also proposed by the Tories and the Liberals of the day) - what good has Labour ever done for the country? Every time they have eventually lost office, they have left behind an economy deeply in the red and created more social division than it ever
healed. Eleven years of New Labour has continued along the same path. Will the Tories do better? Possibly initially, yes, but once they entrench themselves into power, they will prove to be not very different from Labour. Just look at Cameron’s advocacy for letting Turkey join the E.U. - even more British jobs will go to
the growing number of foreign immigrants, the ranks of the Islamists will swell and the country will become less and less recognisable to the indigenous population.

Ex-pat asks will the Tories do any better? The answer is NO! In fact I envisage things getting worse for the working class under them, which seems impossible considering what we are going through at the moment. They are pro Europe and pro immigration capitalists! Tories are traditionally the party of the middle classes, but as Nick Griffin said the middle classes are gonna vanish before long…

On the positive side though 4-5 years of Tory buffoonery and with Labour’s mismanagement still fresh in peoples minds, can only play into the BNP’s hands, after the next Tory government’s abysmal failure to sort things out, which is a dead cert!

lib-lab-con don’t have 5 years, the economic house of cards could collapse at any moment - Ed

Coal is one of the only things Britain is self-sufficient in. All coal burned in British power stations should be British not the 50% or so it currently is. This is like an oil rich country importing oil, madness. This government are actually subsidising the transport for foreign coal! If anything they should be taxing it. If it was 100% British coal burned in British power stations, as it should be, there would be a lot more mining jobs here.

British jobs for British people?
Old Gordon doesn’t actually know what a British person is anymore.

All he knows is that he hates the English, otherwise why does he treat us with such contempt.
