Why did magret thatcher close the mines?
becuz she was spiteful like Ida rostant. Well, the coal mines were losing 1.5 Billion pounds per year (in todays figures calculated to inflation). This was a tremendous debt for the UK, the coal mines were not profitable since the 1960's. Thatcher eliminated the federal debt and reversed the economic socialist-driven downturn in the UK. It's true miners lost their jobs, but the coal mines were not working out. Something had to be done.

No, not from the very beginning, there was coal reserves for at least two years and thatcher was stubborn and wanted to enforce the free market program.

As a result of this the main source of employment in wales and northern England were destroyed and 20,000 people were left unemployed.
