The new mine, near Whitehaven, will be used to extract coking coal for steel production and was granted planning permission by Cumbria county council in October last year.
These ppl are so fucking thick. It’s coking coal that is being mined, required for steel production. You have 2 choices. 1) Mine it in UK or 2) mine it in Australia or Russia and ship it to UK. Now what would be the most environmentally friendly option, 1 or 2. Fucking retarded.
Wonderful, and let's return to steam trains with slam doors and windows that you can open to throw litter out of, and breathe non-Covid fresh air ;)
