REGARDING the looming loss of 5,000 jobs in the British coal industry, Germany subsidises its miners and we import their coal.
Does the Government like seeing Britain's industries being forced into liquidation? Ban those imports.
Also, the farmers are being hit by meat imports. Good luck to the Welsh farmers with their militant action and throwing Irish meat in the dock. Ban meat imports too.
The saying: "Back Britain - buy British" is a sick joke now.
