point being that the reminants of labour leaving behind its shit had to be remedied,so privatisation came about in a big way to try and close the national purse m. thatchers legacy big b*ll*cks to do it,know who is going to get branded this time when they have to put the situation right welle see.a bad situation for mining but industries rise and fall,what are the scotts gonna do when the oil runs out carry on shouting for indipendance or put there hands out,lay blame on the then goverment wich has a strong chance on being concervative.

Try telling that to the residents of some of the towns in the south Wales valleys. Those towns solely existed because of the coal. There livelihoods were taken away from them when they closed the mines. Some of the towns have had millions of pounds worth of regeneration that has failed to make a difference, and are still suffering to this day.

 

Same with South Yorkshire.

 

The reaction to the Miner's Strike was pure malice from Thatcher, nowt to do with economics. I hated the bitch for that, still do, and wouldn't trust the Tories as far as I could throw one.

YOUR ENTITLED TO YOU VIEWS,but with labour its the blind leading the blind.

Maltenby says and I'm placing the emphasis on "Where do you think the name Scotland came from!! ":

 

Now hang on a minute boyo! The WELSH are the remnant of the Brythons, the truly native British tribe. An ancient version of the Welsh language was once spoken over the whole of the British mainland, in various dialects.

In fact, along with south west of England & the Merseyside area, Scotland was one of the last areas outside of Wales that the language was spoken.

 

You say that Scotland has never been conquered?

 

Where do you think the name Scotland came from? The Scotti tribe that came from Ireland and colonised the part of Britain that became Scotland, so there goes your theory about having the purest bloodline of all the native folk on the island. It may be purer then most, but it's certainly not the purest.

Extract: Declaration of Arbroath 1320 AD

 

Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner.

Ah, but 1320 was a long, long time after the days of the ancient native Britons....... My comments were meant to be light hearted, and were not meant to be a slight on my Celtic brethren from the north, I based my comments on several books about the Celtic nations I've read over the years.

 

They say that history changes, depending on who's reading it.....
