The unions slapped a ban on the building of Newport Power station, John Halfpenny said it would never be built.
Got built with non union labor in record time.

Yes the non union sanctioned construction of a power station in the mid 70s is entirely relevant to the recent destruction of a heritage building.

Good point, well made.

Here's hoping they do their dough and ARE hung out to dry.
Sneaky demolition is one thing but **** me any one with half a brain would think....oh an old building perhaps it's got ASBESTOS in it.

Makes my blood boil........
