A Short Post On Aberfan

There really is not much to say about the Aberfan disaster fifty years ago. Except that even now, as a parent I cannot bare to imagine what happened. Those lives,most of them children lost through no fault of their own but of a coal board and with the government subsequently happy to treat the survivors and their families with a coldness you cannot believe.

Merely thinking about it brings a tear to my eye.

Until the next time
