Downing Street refuses to apologise for Boris Johnson coalmines joke

Downing Street has declined to apologise for

And there’s the utter contempt we’ve come to expect from them

Doubtless, behind closed at Downing Street they're quipping that 'He was only having a dig' - which is more than the miners do now. Johnson can't go north of the border and now he can't go to the former coalfields either.

Nothing to apologise for mate. Carry on talking shite.

Why the hell should he apologise to the socialist cabul

He’s 100% right

They apologise for nothing. It's their way. Voters dont seem to care.

It was more than 40 years ago- too soon? I was a child of a mining community and directly effected by this and this made me laugh.

I'm surprised he didn't suggest miners were 'piccaninnies' with 'watermelon smiles.' because of the black coal dust they had on their faces when they came off a shift.

Ah, it was just a joke. 😉

It's the Tory policy, don't worry who you hurt,who is out of jobs, who starves. We are ok, we are making money on the backs of many.

The bitterness is not so much the closure of the Coal Mines & Steel Industry but the abandonment of whole communities, honest hard working people stripped of their jobs & dignity Towns left rot Resulting in poverty, crime & drug & alcohol addiction – that’s Thatcher’s Legacy

Never apologise to a leftist. They'll see it as a weakness and use it against you.
