Very misleading quote, Wilson closed pits that where the coal seams were exhausted alongside and with the NUM blessing.

Thatcher waged war on the Mining industry for revenge and political gain a pure callous reaction aimed to finish the mining industry and a powerful union, what a bitch. She didn't give a shit what happened to those communities. Hence the term one nation conservative is a sham she divided the country cynically. Nothing as changed.

Aberfan motivated Wilson to reform the Coal Board - 106 dead school kids. It was surely needed at the time as it had become complacent.

Yep sure it had a profound effect on him at that time.

It had a profound effect on most folk. It was so unnecessary.
