Maggies Legacy

A terraced house in a mining town no fire to heat the room. As Maggie stole the mine and the coal that kept them warm. She stole their hopes and dreams no holidays or flat screen TV's for miners on the dole . The Iron lady had her day and a trillion tons of coal still lay beneath the soil of northern towns. with the men, who's pits she slayed We now power the nation on Chinese coal and the goodwill of a communist nation . We are also doing a deal for the Chinese to own a third of a nuclear plant in the UK using a their design utter madness !

Such a tragedy what happened with the miners and the impact of the closure of the mines still continues to this day she sure made her mark on the UK and not for all the right reasons... and now they have another female PM - lets see what happens with the nuclear powerplant now! :-) hugs Jan xx
