  Oh doesn't the arrogance show through. SHE was not condemning the PC, read it properly, who's the idiot?
  Her type? What type is that then, any one that does not agree with you?
  She has principles, solid ones, not ones that can be pulled out of the hat to suit your arguments.
  You're very good at name calling "bigot" "chicken" "patriot" "traitor" "egoists" "Know your enemy" Shame on you for extolling those views.
  
  I have never been an enemy, I do not need your sympathy and whatever the reasons or whose fault it was, my pit, Betteshanger Colliery was a well stocked geologically stable mine that was going to be shut because of some arrogant A---Holes who could not act like adults and sit down and talk.
  We did not "withdraw our labour" We went on "strike". I will shoulder some blame in reacting too quickly to Thatcher closing Corton Wood. We did fall into her trap and we lost the strike and lost our mines.
  But I will never apologise for trying to keep my families and my community's only means of employment, its social structure and everything else that went with it alive.
  If you do not know what has been lost in this corner of Kent because of our collieries closing and I don't think that's the case, then its me that sympathises with you.
