The big story on our local TV news is the closure of Kellingley Colliery. It's been a story for days now. The journos like this issue because (a) they can blame the Tories, somehow, and (b) it's a tale of the heroic working class facing adversity. But now and then they interview a miner who to their horror expresses disgust at the environmentalist nonsense that has resulted in the closure. The journo then hastily concludes the interview and moves on. It's hilarious.
We've also been treated to a lot of nonsense about the Orgreave riots, including many words from King Arthur the Gobshite.
