Who closed more mines Labour or conservative?


Clement Attlee's Labour closed 101 pits 1947 - 1951; (yep Labour started the the trend )

Macmillan (Conservative) closed 246 pits 1957 - 63;

Wilson (Labour) got jealous of old Mac and closed 253 ( 1964 and 1976;) well done that man as he forges into the lead.

Heath (Conservative) closed 26 between 1970 - 74; nice fella

Thatcher (Conservative) closed 115 she had no chance of beating Labours magnificent closure performances.

( didn't Labour do well)

If Greta had been in charge she'd close them all in a single week even if miners were glueing themselves to their pits.
