thatcher

[stokemaveric]

so the ''iron lady'' now has dementia,her daughter carol says the family are 'devestated'.....my how the wheels of time turn...thatcher and her policies devestated millions of families,now i know health issues are not to be trivialised but i for 1 have little or no sympathy for thatcher,i think she had dementia during the 80s,when she ruined this country....................

[stokemaveric]

whiffy thatcher crushed the unions therefor crushing whatever rights workers had,she closed the pits turning whole families against each other throughout the strikes,but then again whiffy what goes on up north with us half witted savages is of no concern to you is it?

I would love to know why the government still blame the tories for problems when the have not been in office for years

[stokemaveric]

they privatised the utility services that is why the prices are so high today because the fat cat directors and shareholders can make more money off us,the bill payers.

[jno]

that's right, stokemaveric, rebels set up a 'democratic union of miners' or something to support her... but of course they all got shafted too.

[bobtheturkey]

at least maggie stood up to the ira labour puts them in government

[stokemaveric]

she actually did not stand up to them negotiation was NEVER an option in the first place......

[bobtheturkey]

why should she negotiate with murderers?

[stokemaveric]

bob i didnt say that she should negotiate with them,you said she stood up to them SHE DID NOT as i said neither the ira or the tories wanted to talk peace.....

Pensions thief?
Look up Tiny Rowland (Hanson Trust) and James Goldsmith also look at the pensions holidays enjoyed by the Royal Mail and the payments just been released by the government because of Tory fiddles in the "BEST" scheme.
Don't get all nostaliagic "Anyone but Mellor" sleaze?
Westland, Cecil Parkinson, David Mellor, B.C.C.I, De Lorean the list is endless.
And there were always talks going on with the I.R.A, Blair did give Ulster what it wanted and needed PEACE.
No help for the poor what about the minimum wage?
But yes Thatcher did have a mandate to govern and she was deselected by her party and we did'nt have a general election, the more things change the more they stay the same.
I hope Stoke stay up, it's gonna go on and on this one Stokie.

If you actually look you'll see that the bosses can still afford to give themselves good pensions, if you look at the "pensions black hole" you'll also see that the money paid out in bonuses is more or less the same as the deficit, is that where the money's gone?
If you want a real scandal then see how much money the government had to pay out as compensation to all the people it advised to leave their L.G.S.S final salary pensions and go for private money purchase schemes.
Thatcher's government and it's legacy were awful.
