Cut Backs ,and Thatchers Funeral

[Tiercel 6,986]

 

One thing I cannot fathom out is why the need for privatisation? ..... we could have the companies still in state hands, paying the same wages charging the same rates. yet the profits would go to the state bringing very much needed income for the government ..... Instead the profits go to wealthy individual share holders, with the minimum investment in the infrastructure of the utilities.

 

 

And what positions, in society, do these " wealthy individual share holders " tend to hold, T?

 

Can you not see how your answer lies in your own question?

So sorry, the question was rhetorical! I took it as read that people would see that.

 

MY bad.

Sorry, TC. I'd been trying to read from about halfway through this thread, I guess? Thus I'd already read some stuff that was so much bollocks that my eyes were indeed clouding over. My mind shutting down.

 

After some of the obviously deeply held views I've read here, I missed the intended irony of your own post.

 

I think we're actually reading from the same page here

If you hated her politics thats one thing, if you were affected by her policies then i have some sympathy I am not going to do the Monty Python 4 Yorkshireman sketch but I was brought up in a very poor council area and her policies did affect my whole family more than half of which were working in the steel mills throughout this time.

The difference between myself and some of the hateful things i have read is was always brought up to respect someone's death.

I make no apology either for saying she led us out of probably the worst post war situation this country found itself in and led us away from the diatribe of what was then the union stranglehold of my country we were an absolute laughing stock to the rest of the world before this . Even I can see that if others can't then that's their opinion.

I don't care whether you vote for tory or screaming lord such I find disrespecting a dead woman because of politics offensive to her children and grandchildren.

respected for her children are you avin a f****n laugh one a reality show contestant & the other is an illegal

arms dealer who was involved in trying to overthrow a government if it were your lad he'd be in the big house

called a terrorist but coz of who his mam was he's sat in church wi the PM ffs if you can't see owt wrong

in that your beyond help.there's a sayin round here "you can talk to a mon wi a wooden leg but not a wooden

head

That's just it, I used to have a wooden head and accepted what everyone else wanted me to think, before I learnt to think for myself.

The facts are under Harold Wilson 290 coal mines were closed as compared to the 160 under Margret Thatcher

but you dont get people calling Wilson an evil witch do you?

In the last year of coal production before the strikes the subsidised British Coal industry lost £485 Million

But hey let's not let the facts get in the way of a good witch hunt eh? Wooden head?

so where are all the swathes of the population that that where laid waste under wilson so if your figures are correct

you could shut near double the amount of pits with minimal impact on the surrounding communities,so if your right

it kind of makes my argument she laid waste vast parts of the country out of spite & vindictiveness & with no thought

to the parts of the community that indirectly relied on the wealth generated by the industries she scapped.if she was

so f****n saintly why did her own party throw her aside like the piece of shit she was & why is her terrorist son allowed

to walk the streets.at least she can have her xmas dinner with jimmy savell again this year eh.they won't need an oven

where they both are

no chance of that happening now though .with all the millions of foreigners here and that maggot cameron touring europe secretly agreeing to let tens of thousands more in from romania and bulgaria ,some politicians and journalists also suggest that hes agreed secretly to guarantee these immigrants 75 000 jobs .what a loss to britain was the loss of john smith the labour leader who died so suddenly .his untimely death lead the way for blair to succeed him .i really think john smith would have turned this country around .had he lived and became prime minister

Foriegners here due to Blair and a labour government.

But at least we agree on something, John Smith would be turning in his grave at what followed him as a supposed labour leader and whilst there are no guarantees of what might have been I had at least respect for the man while I wouldn't piss on Blair if he was on fire.

WHY DID YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE NO SO JUST MORE PISS FROM YOU

[gnasher16 30,061]

Reading about some of the horrifying conditions these pit fellas worked in and all the deaths/illness etc you would think folk would be happy to see the back of them !.....................Im not clued up on miners or politics so i dont have strong opinions but i think it shows folks true ignorance of a subject when they think because they have studied the history or read a book and got second hand info that somehow qualifies them to think their opinion is equal to somebody who has lived and breathed the subject !

I dont know the fella Pedwar from adam but id take his word to the bank as you,ll never beat experiencing something to form an opinion.

[twobob 1,497]

Lets have this right, I quiet fancy better wages and conditions so this is what we shall do......my firm earns 25 grand a year but I think I am worth 35 grand, the better conditions will cost the firm another 10 grand.

 

So if I give all you union men on here a PayPal address you can send me the other 20 grand out of your own pockets......that sounds perfect to me.

the strike wasnt over money it was about jobs FACT
