    Aye. So many social costs to coal mining all around the world on top of the envi­ron­men­tal costs. We should never for­get it.

    What the fuck do we do with them now the entire industry has clo­sed down?

    I thought this was one of your most pro­found con­tri­bu­tions so far. It pro­vo­ked me to a series of memo­ries.

    Also thanks for making you wit and obvious social con­cern so openly avai­la­ble — I have just put up the blog feed and pro­mise to buy the wine on my next visit to South Africa!

    Surely this is sup­po­sed to read “chim­neys”. Or am I just being hope­lessly Victorian?
