Thatcher is the one thing in this world that makes me wish religion is true.

I wish there were an afterlife, so she could suffer as much in it as she made people suffer in this life.

You know, i had almost the exact same thought (since i too am an agnostic).

Not to be too harsh.  But what the hell do you know about UK mid 70's and what she inherited and HAD to sort out.  Nothing!.

I lived it pal.

There's a special place in (the purely hypothetical) hell for unionbusters. Simple as that.

In an addendum, it's due to her policies that you guys would be Switzerland with nukes if not for the EU, just a place to play financial games.

Bolded: Like I said you havent got a clue.  Tell me about the history of the Miners union, about the individuals involved, then tell me about the winter of disconetent.  You cant, you know nothing of it.  

You joined the union in that job you eventually managed to get?

Bravo on the final sentence though... patronising, condescending, arrogant and totally wrong all in one handy package.

There is no union here, but there doesn't really need to be one. Government contracts tend to be fairly strict, so they get little leeway in how they can treat us.

Although i do wish that more American workers found their own damn testicles and stood up to companies. You lot would do well to do the same.

I don't doubt that there are complexities regarding the mining union, and yet if it weren't for folks like them and their predecessors, you would have never had the opportunity to get out of that slum you spoke of earlier. You would be a commodity. We all would be. Anyone who stands against that is a class traitor, and they were once dealt with appropriately, in a time when people were bolder.
