Well, with a hundred and seventeen posts I don't think it's been wrecked. I'm going to write to Ken Clark and ask him to suggest to IDS that he go and live among the feral underclass for a couple of weeks. I could mentor him as 'an ex prisoner' in Newcastle's West End. That'd put some understanding into his assertions, perhaps.
As you know, I have a copper mine in Northumberland. It's possible to scrabble down it until the way becomes unsafe. There's no props of any kind and there are roof falls. The received knowledge is that it was children that worked these shafts. So there was no school for them. Their lifestyle is almost unimaginable. It does bear thinking about.
