60 years on.
No criminal prosecutions were ever brought over the Aberfan disaster that killed 116 children and 28 adults.
Villagers called Lord Robens and National Coal Board āmurderersā.
Today, we still see wicked lack of accountability over rape gangs, Nottingham murders, maternity scandals.

Such a beautifully written & deeply moving article, Allison. Thank you for the dignified & sensitive way you told my dadās story, for taking the time to meet him, listening to his memories & above all, for doing such wonderful justice to his story. I shall treasure your article.
I was in tears yesterday talking to Leonard Moss. He was a 22āyear-old nurse who offered to help when a tip fell on a school in Aberfan killing 116 children.
Leonard washed the childrenās faces āso their mum and dad could give them a kiss goodbyeā. Heartbreaking.
Aberfan was a man-made disaster. Coal production mattered more than safety. The National Coal Board gambled with childrenās lives - and lost.
There were no criminal prosecutions. Zero accountability for killing 116 mixed infants - we see the same incompetence and villainy still thriving today in the Post Office scandal, rape gangs, infected blood, maternity deaths, Nottingham murders.
Many in the village had survivorās guilt - only the guilty men didnāt suffer guilt.
Ordinary men and women, despised and treated appallingly by the state - Ā£50 compensation per child? - were responsible for many acts of quiet heroism on that darkest of days.
Read about it here. š

Itās odd that itās quicker to view #Adobe on #Chrome than it is on Adobe! Also we really hate the way all the buttons have Arabic on them after an update - and we have to use AI to guide us to a solution for a company based on the UK.

"Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water announces 500 job cuts."
Not content with dumping crap all over Wales Welsh Water now wants to dump a load of sh*t on its workforce.
*Last year @DwrCymru spent 856,351 hours dumping sewage, more than any other company in the UK.

I could not stop watching this. In China they make denim from Abaca banana stalks from the Philippines.
Whole Process was mesmerizing! š³

Consultant Engineer in Wales, forced to stand and speak out against all the Net Zero crap planned for the area. He says none of it adds up or makes sense, somebody is clearly going to make a lot of money if this goes ahead

Breaking news - Unfair dismissal compensatory awards will be UNCAPPED if the UK Gov's latest amendment to the Employment Rights Bill is allowed by the House of Lords (the cap is currently Ā£118,223 or 1 year's gross pay, whichever is lower).

Employers will welcome the latest UK government U-turn abandoning day 1 unfair dismissal rights and, instead, having a 6 month qualifying period.

The word on the street is that though the 1 year cap on the compensatory award for unfair dismissal will be lifted, the other cap will remain (currently Ā£118,223).
