Thatcher Stockpiled Cheap, Lish Coal From Poland

In the early eighties, margaret thatcher stock piled coal from poland right ahead of a minor strike. The poles needed hard currency as quick as they could get it in 19 81, 82 to try and wean the polish population off their obsession solidarity. So bas regoing to buy communism from them, buy another decade or two of the communist party. What they exported, what they really exported from poland was coal. Who bought it? Thatcher, the arch anti-communist missus. She used the proceeds of the to suppress her own working class - which is kind of mad.
