DD:"I’d love to have David Beckham’s wealth, but I never will, but rather than moaning like a stuck pig and wailing about the perceived inequality of it, I prefer to think he’s earned what he’s earned and bloody good luck to him.
And that is the fundamental difference between you and me.
I don’t think it’s wrong for people to amass money through their work, whereas you do.
You have a problem. "
Yep standard socialist policy, they hate anyone prospering but they haven't worked out that they need wealth creators to pay for their batty schemes. - BA right there.
10Clarion - I fear that we have to accept that there isn't the remotest chance of getting Naomi and her ilk to get away from their blinkered, ultra-right-wing stance which is born of ignorance.
diddly , don't you mean'we have to accept that there isn't the remotest chance of getting away from your blinkered, ultra-left wing stance which is born of ignorance.'
" I fear that we have to accept that there isn't the remotest chance of getting Naomi and her ilk to get away from their blinkered, ultra-right-wing stance which is born of ignorance."
and you and your ilk are the sort that make me want to puke with your high and mighty self rightious arrogant and condescending attitude...
you really do think youre a bit special dont you...people like you have to come to place like this because nobody gives a monkeys in your real boring life, you have no platform, they go out of their way to avoid you and your "im always right" views on everything and anything..and that last drivel of yours is the proof
DD, that wasn't aimed at anyone on here.
Twatcher knew the consequences of closing down lots of coal mines. The UK would have to make up the loss of production by importing huge quantities of coking coal from Poland, South Africa and Australia to fire the power stations. Her actions were deliberately and vindictively aimed at throwing millions of her own people onto the scrap heap. It was the only way she could think of - crash 'em: smash 'em: and burn 'em. Falklands Factor style thinking. Try telling all those millions whose lives she ruined that she saved this country. She ruined the industrial base of this country so that her husband and his cronies could make millions of pounds out of peoples' misery. Was that the only option ashe could think of? There is mention earlier of people like Derek Robinson. Was that the only way to rid the company of him and others like him? Close the whole thing down and put thousands out of work? She had no intention of doing anything else. Her and the likes of Airey Neave became obsessed with ruining working people after the power cuts of the early 70's. They were on a mission to destroy working people and the Trade Unions. Business plans had nothing to do with it. It was vindictiveness to the point point of tyranny. Tear her statue down and throw it in the sea.
The miners ruined their own lives by using the unions to up their wages and hold the country to ransome (yes, I remember the blackouts)making coal from abroad a more viable option.
Clarion, //Naomi, you and others clearly can't see how vindictive this ogre of a PM had become.//
As a matter of fact, Clarion, I hated her. Tony Blair showed me the error of my ways and taught me to vote Conservative – and now, thankfully, common sense and the acknowledgement of reality prevails.
//There are some really unnecessary comments on this site.//
Indeed there are. I’ve just read your post at 09:21 Thu. Disgraceful.
