Worth a watch - I watched part one tonight and it focused on Shirebrook pit & village and the division in the community at the time
Some parallels from 20th Century mining, with farming in the 21st Century
Break the dominance of the miners and then close the pits (despite those pits sitting on 80-100 years of coal seams) & then import subsidised coal from Europe
Seems like it’s all happening again now in Britain - to break farming, end production subsidies and encourage growing wild bird seed and wild flowers
Then import cheap subsidised grain from mainland Europe and feed the nation
Give away energy security
Give away food security
Give away primary industry security (steel and manufacturing)
Strange bunch these Tories
Divide & Conquer… I guess
