Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Fcuk there is some shit being talked on this thread. Yes Thatcher done good for herself from middle class beginings, yes she was an astute politician. And yes she fcuked the country up by setting neighbor against neighbor, by applealing to the greed that is in everyone. It is not the politicians that have caused the lack of community spirit, it is the greed of the people, with the 'fcuk you jack I am allright' attitude that she fostered as the right way to be.

TC To be honest you always find that '' community spirit'' comes from the most unexpected place when you're on the bones of your arse & the folk you thought would have always been there are inconspicuous by their absence , I guess in reality its human nature to want to look after your own kids & make sure there ok over the bloke up the road who cant pay his rent 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Country Joe 1,411 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Watched the programme, very sad, whole communities ripped apart, read Scargills biography interesting reading, is he now in poor health? never saw him in the media for years, Interesting when the comment was made about bringing down the Government, more or less hinting that was his main priority. The way thatcher treated the miners, more or less starving them back to work is the reason the Conservatives are now finished as a party in Scotland, and its laughable that they, along with those turncoats Liberals are now ruling us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yet when what I want, is not what the majority wants there is nothing I can do about it. That is one reason I never vote. We are and always have been cannon fodder.

WILF 47,863 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The idea that a politician can make everyone have a f**k you jack attitude is frankly complete and utter nonsense.......I don't need a politician to tell me to help out in the community, at the school, the old folks club, football, giving things to locals in need. I am more than capable of doing all these things myself. GTE we agree on lots of things matey but we won't agree on this. I have never seen work, money or a job as a right that should be paid for by others no matter what the cost, if I want money in my bin I go out and generate some myself. Nationalised industry never did this EVER ! If something's dead, then bury it ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
