adam,some of your stuff i agree with.but dont you think the tax payer is the looser hear?and i take it that you would like it better if no one had a job to go to, so that we all have to scrounge off the state just like them at the mainshill camp.

Adam, thank you for your kind words. The continued support of local communities is what keeps us at the camp at it, and keeps the pressure up on Scottish Coal and Lord Home.

Stuart, yes you are right - as always, it is the tax payer and ordinary people who loose out. Communities lose their health, local environment and democratic say, while the bosses, rich land owners and politicians profit and benefit. But if you think that local jobs are created through these projects, please look closer, as an opencast at Mainshill will result in a net loss of local jobs. This has already been seen with the recent lay-offs at Poniel and Broken Cross mines.

And please, before stereotyping us as scroungers, visit the camp and talk to us. I think you'll find that we are a very active and caring bunch, who have given up salaries and a warm house to do something positive for the community.

Mr Stewart. I do have a full time job, they guys at the camps are topclass. Not scroungers. I think its sad people want this to go ahead. Maybe the tax payers are loosers but if you back the mainshill camp and go join the protest in person maybe the like of his lordship and his cleek will listen to the villagers and stop this from happening any more.

Here we go again. An extension. What do Scottish Coal think there playing at. This is a joke could they not have thought to finish off Glentaggart before they started to put out plans for Mainshill. This is going to please the likes of J Stewart and Mrs Rankin. But I am sure that the gang from the camp will be there in force.
