/// Weirdly, it was your generation who attempted to destroy the country in the 70s with your labour disputes, inefficient practices and pay demands that practicaly destroyed the country. ///
If it comes to that it was also your generation, since like myself I suspect you was also around during the 7os.
They were not 'MY' labour disputes etc.as you put it, but the consequences of certain members of the voting public, voting in a Labour Government and I presume by that time they contained a large number of overseas immigrants.
/// Thank God for the immigrants who carried on working whilst your unions were attempting to bring the country down, eh? ///
Many immigrants worked in car factories etc so you could also blame them for helping to bring the country down, unless they all chose to be 'Black Legs' (pardon the unintentional pun).
Incidentally I never went on strike simply because my company wasn't involved and consequently I carried on paying my taxes to provide you and yours with the facilities of the NHS etc, and still do even if I now get a little back after all those years of paying in.
/// Again, nothing personal...it's just that the 70s sucked...and the country only got back on its feet once my generation started working in the 80s and sorted out the mess your people created. ///
That is rather a pompous statement to make isn't it, and wasn't it the late Baroness Thatcher who got this country back on it's feet?
