Aberfan
At 9.15am on Friday October 21st 1966, after several days of heavy rain,
a huge slag tip above the town of Aberfan in South Wales suddenly
liquified and poured down the mountain. The black tidal wave demolished
properties in its path and engulfed the Pantglas Junior School in
seconds. Of the 144 people who lost their lives that day, 116 were
children. The tragedy was totally preventable. The National Coal Board
had been warned time and time again of the dangers of dumping slag in
such a geologically unstable area above towns. They chose to ignore the
warnings claiming it wasn't profitable for them to move the slag tips to
safer locations. After the disaster, donations from all over the world
poured in for the shattered community. However, most of the money never
reached Aberfan. Instead the Government gave it to the National Coal Board
so that they could move other slag tips overlooking other towns in
South Wales.
The great Welsh writer and broadcaster Gwyn Thomas delivered his own moving tribute to the victims of the tragedy on the BBC the morning of the mass funeral. This is an excerpt from his eulogy

A little History
Well worth the hour,
and if it were to learn that
and if it were to learn that
The price
of apathy
towards public affairs
is to be ruled
by evil men

1 Howard & 1 Harper = 2 Evil Bastards
When will the vast majority understand?
People like these are evil!! Bastards (Nothing against ordinary bastards.).
How could a majority of Canadian voters give a hypocritical bastard like Harper, a corrupt puppet like Harper the license to go on and on and on . . . ?
May not only his toupee be blown away.
By the way, once again: Who wrote this very script in 2003?]
