On Equinox night last Sunday two huge graders at Broken Cross Open Cast Coal Site in South Lanarkshire were trashed. One of them was as big as a three story building and used to load coal on to lorries, headed for railheads and power stations. Hydraulics, electrics and steel cables were cut, and anything breakable was broken. They won't be used for a while.
This action was taken by autonomous activists in solidarity with all those opposing corporate rule and ecological suicide, and despite ever increasing security at Scottish Coal's mines in the area. Scottish Coal will soon be applying for three new open cast mines in the Douglas Valley, including a whole new 1 million tonne extension to Broken Cross, extending the life of the mine and its impacts on the people around it for years to come.
Fuck Scottish Coal.
Fuck Scottish Coal.

Broken Cross is in South Lanarkshire so I doubt the locals in Midlothian will be too bothered.

Rosewell and Midlothian was built on coal and the sweat of the miners, you will get no sympathy from the local community.
you dont want nuclear power, you dont want coal, or gas or oil, wind is useless. Care to share the secret of nuclear fusion? There is no alternative.

"GOD" bless all of us miners whether it be coal or whatever!! We are all just trying to support our familys. I have build Giant Hydro electric projects all over the world some underground and all with diversion tunnels. We miners are a breed apart. All that we ask is a little respect and a fair wage with benifits for our familys. So treat us right and we will work our Asses off for you and treat us badly and we will revolt in every way that we know. So it is up to you Mr. empolyer, "What Say You???".......The Mafia Man Spirit Lake Idaho, USA> Who is a "Teamster Union, Hard Rock Miner" with @ 50 years of service!! (Retired) "God Bless" all of you my Brothers & Sisters in all countrys throughout the whole world.....
