IN A carefully timed interview with The Times on Tuesday, lan MacGregor unveiled his new plan for coal — the plan he will be taking to the table for 'negotiations' with the NUM this week.
He made it clear that it is the NCB that will be dictating the terms. Comparing his plan to the 1974 Plan for Coal MacGregor said: "This time we must be more forthcoming. We will write the plan. The Coal Board will recover its responsibility for managing the coal industry EVER felt scared? Well one short item on Monday's news should have created more fear in the people of the world than anything which has happened in most of their lifetimes.
The news? Simply that the United States had successfully tested an anti-ballistic missile system. For the first time ever intercontinental ballistic missile was successfully intercepted in outer space.
Don't believe that test has anything to do with 'defence', The US wants a reliable antiballistic missile system for one reason. So that it can successfully' fight a nuclear war. So that it protect the Call mainland of the United States while it carries out nuclear attacks on the rest of the world If it ever gains that potential United State capitalism, without question, would launch a nuclear war. It is precisely to gain that capability that the United States has repeatedly refused, and again on Tuesday, to enter into any limitations of its capacity to use anti-missiles systems in space. Reagan really means it when he talks of preparing for war.
Last Monday, courtesy of the United States, the world became a terrifyingly less safe place.
