Thats something that a lot of people tend to ignore, its wasn't just a loss of jobs and communities but a complete write off of millions (possibly billions) of pounds of equipment that was left underground in abandoned pits.

Absolute disgrace.

Why? Capital is destroyed all the time. Industries like the car industry have never made money overall, but destroyed capital. However, within that certain companies have been very, very successful and made their owners fortunes. Same with UK mines - they were rationalised.

How on earth do you figure that one out? Especially when you factor in ALL of the industries that feed off amd into the automotive industry. Or is it similar to insurance companies not making money from motor insurance for fiteen years?

Total anihilation is nothing like rationalisation

So, when her turn comes, will it be like for Kim Jong Il, then? I mean, they were both Korea politicians . . .
