maggie thatcher

She gave the Forces a 35% pay rise because she was a war monger.

 

The reason that Labour did not reopen the mines was because all the equipment was left under ground and all the pumps were switched off flooding the mines when they were closed. It would cost way to much money to reopen the mines.

 

Just to add. None of my family (alot of them miners) were fans of Scargill. He was as bad a rouge as Thatcher.

 

One of my uncles was on strike for over twelve months, he wanted to go to work every day as did many other miners but the threat of having their houses burnt down by other miners was the deciding factor. Miners were waiting on bridges to drop lumps of concrete etc on other miners cars if they thought they were going to cross the picket line. I can remember more than one miner getting killed by things being thrown from bridges in my home town.

 

Unless you lived in these areas during the strike you would not understand how bad things were. There are still families that hate one and other over what went on at the time of the strike.

 

And thats exactly why Meggie had to break them! Big bully boys doing disgusting things to people just because they din't agree with them. Unfortunatly for them they came up against the Iron lady, and got bullied back. They don't like it up em, but bullies never do!

Hey Pete,

Flicked through that, a bigger pile of rubbish it would be difficult to find.

About the authors. Red Pepper is a magazine of political rebellion and dissent, influenced by socialism, feminism and green politics.

 

Need I say anymore. Left wing propaganda. Utter rubbish

[Pete Mctree]

You will say she never called the ANC terrorists, supported Pinochet, financially backed Saddam or passed homophobic legislation (clause 28) next.........

 

No point arguing though, as those who loved her will never hear a truth against her

Were that a properly substantiated, factual article from a credible, unbiased publication it may carry some weight

But as a tub thumping, proudly socialist, deeply prejudiced form of opinion press it may as well all be made up, indeed it may well be.

Citing growth in the 50's, when we basically started from scratch and borrowed a fortune from the states, in comparison with the 80's is pretty daft.

I don't very much care for socialism. Any movement whose main mission is to take, disguising it as some sort of moral high ground, doesn't sit well with me.

Still. I did read it
