Great Britain.
A nation with 200/300 years of coal reserves that now imports it from places like Australia.
Wasn't a political move was it? |  | | |

You sound like the typical selfish bastard that she was looking for in her plans to make tories out of all of us.
They raped the country of everything they could to sell off cheaply to make sure they kept getting re-elected. |  | | |

Good on yer Holloway.
But doesn't that leave the problem of how someone in your position *now*, on an income of £20,000, can afford a £400,000 flat? (And I presume your flat's not a palace). |  |

I think you are a little bit unkind there stowmarketrange. The think that's striking to me about Holloway's story is the disparity between his income, which is diminishing in value, and the one valuable asset he has, which he could no longer afford if he was buying from scratch. | |

Maybe it's still more cost effective to import the coal than pay the fortunes to keep the mines open in the UK? Surely even those that hate her the most can see that Scargil and the pit workers brought about their own demise and the demise of their industry and I am sure Scargil did not suffer in the way those that followed him did, and that sums up the main thing that's wrong with the unions... The union leaders! Unfortunately something that could be great for all tends to get used to make a point by leaders who are not impacted in the way their members are and really do not know what impacts the majority of the workforce. At the last company I worked for we had unite union "working" for us .. All they managed to do was delay our pay rises by a year and a half by the time they finished asking for things like 14% when the company offered 3%, the outcome that year .. We got a 3% pay rise 6 months later than we would have had it had they not interfered and then our pay rises came 12 months after that one going forward, until they did it again .. With the same result. So I for one am glad the unions don't have the power they had before MT or we would never have got any pay rises, but I'm sure the union negotiating team got their pay rises on time |  | | |

So he has made his money out of all of us who paid taxes to build his council flat that the bitch thought she would sell off cheaply just to get another potential voter.
How are people supposed to get council accomodation in the future if the ones they had are sold off? | | | |

Where I live they seem to have no problem finding council houses for people that have just moved to the country, and I include my sister in that who moved abroad but then had to move back some years later (just to clarify this isn't a racist rant), but they do have problems finding houses for those that have been here all their life but do not earn enough to pay the massive private rents, maybe priorities should change?

That is a different argument altogether. And i'm sure that will be covered sooner or later. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Colonel Galtieri will bring the whiskey to that one, mate!
From an Argentine point of view and someone who was very very young when she was in power (but who has read some stuff and spoken to people over here and over there), all I can say is that I follow plenty of English people on Twitter and only read 2 of them (one was Rodney Marsh) speaking good things about her and loads of people (like on this thread) showing some true hatred towards her. Then I read 3 Argies speaking good things about her. It might surprise you but it doesn't surprise me (as they have an agenda against everything our current government stands for).
Economists round here are even saying she was genius.
I didn't like her (guess I'm not alone on this one), but only a small fraction of my dislike for her is associated with her role in that war against my country.
I've said it many times. I blame both governments for that conflict that should have never happened. They put their egos and interests before everything else and there's people still suffering from their actions more than 30 years later.

I worked in North Yorkshire during the Miners strike.
I saw things that I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen them with my own eyes.
A British Prime Minister who declared War on British workers, in mainland Britain.
I wouldn't wish death on anyone......
I thought her a horrible Bastard when she was alive.
Now she is no longer alive.....
I still think she was a horrible bastard when she was alive. | | | |

I could just as easily point out the absolute glee that Thatcher and her cohorts took in the vicious and vindictive destruction of whole swathes of this country. But you don't want to hear that. | | | |

Fact is that kind of thing - the old style industry was dying it wasn't justifying itself and someone eventually would have had to deal with it.
Someone somewhere always has to get the ball rolling, the fact is successive governments have left many of the old mining areas etc to decline, that is a seperate issue.

the rise of house prices is down to the sale of council homes and not building more.
The simple fact is you sell don't replace will cause demand and demand means name your price | | | |

One funny thing is how many on here back the British Falklands yet hate Thatcher.
Fairly indifferent to her myself but amazed how little hatred there is towards Blair and Brown in comparison, who've done their utmost - Brown in particular to destroy the country and the living standards etc.
How many out of work today??? | | | |
