Why not have privatized her funeral? Especially since such a huge proportion of the country hated her so much.

Maybe the mining industry did have to change, but to destroy whole communities without giving them an alternative seems criminal to me. Maybe the unions were a bit too powerful, but we seem to have replaced greedy unions representing ordinary people with greedy extremely rich people who&#039;ve managed to destroy our economy (while making sure they hang on to their fortune). I know which I&#039;d prefer.

I wonder if they make things as difficult as possible for people in your situation on purpose? It does sound ridiculously inefficient, surely they could be more humane in their approach.|EMAIL|c.bliss@ntlworld.com|IP-ADDRESS|82.3.100.23|MODERATIONFLAG|
