    144 killed by the N.C.B. in Aberfan.

    After a lot of resistance remaining tips removed - £150,000 'forcibly' taken from the Memorial Fund to do this - that is the people of Aberfan having to pay for their removal...

    It wasn't forcibly, it was agreed (reluctantly), it was from the interest on the donations not from the donations themselves, it was a small part of the total £1m used to remove the tip, it was returned three decades later along with £2m extra


    Not excusing anyone or anything but your post wasn't exactly factual
