Letter: Your Say – Coal Fired

By C Fletcher

INTERESTING that while a debate rages on these pages about the good or ill of Thatcher’s legacy comes news that a coalmine has reopened.

The rising price of coal means that mining has now become economically attractive in this country.

I wonder how much less dependant the UK would be on other countries for its energy needs had this dogmatic and uncaring woman not forced the closure of coalmines to score a political point against the NUM.

Nice one, Maggie!
