onesea Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ah yes...Thatcher. Is she still burning in hell? One would hope that a thousand deceased ex-miners are shovelling the coal onto her satanic fire. I rarely do political.... Thatcher made many tough decisions when she left, the country was in a better state then when she became PM.... Look at what followed. If only our politicians today could actually do the same, make decisions and get on with the job in hand. Instead of worrying about pleasing every one..

I have to disagree strongly with you there old chap.Many areas in the country may have prospered under Thatcher but others were decimated.Look at what followed.16797743_10154839014132881_8567197329947514604_o.jpgIf only our politicians today could actually do the same, make decisions and get on with the job in hand.

NeilM Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Also.Please do not have the audacity to bring Blair's lying into it.The Hillsborough enquiry ring any bells?Oh by the way.The lying there will be nothing compared to when the truth finally comes out about Orgreave. Remember that? When she tried to start a civil war. Was it covered in the south? Anyway don't do politics.. lolDing dong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesea Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Have to disagree strongly with you there old chap.Some areas prospered under Thatcher but others were decimated. Not arguing I grew up in the north I have felt and seen some of the turmoil left behind, even if I was not in the thick of it. Just think she gets victimised far more than required it's almost a fashion statement..Big changes and losing any industry is going to cause problems so is supporting them just to keep jobs. Politicians to get elected need to please every one to be good need to make decisions that wont. There will always be 2 sides.Even now May cannot go into negotiations telling the Truth... Same as selling your house you believe its worth £100 you market it for £110 what you dont say is but know is it needs to be sold in 2 months and you need to get £50. Now she is being asked to give away all her negotiating chips before starting the talks...Oh sorry yeah this is just about thatcher yeah she was terrible as terrible as any other politician....

Mawsley Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's really not, because Thatch brought all of the mining, steel and dock industrial areas to their knees. *drops grenade**leaves thread* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 We will agree to disagree?I'm certainly not into internet key board arguments.We all have differing viewpoints and views which most definitely won't be altered via this forum.Must say though. In my case it's not a fashion statement. I was brought up in a mill town which during the 80's was no longer a mill town. Several of my cousins and an uncle were out during the entire 84 strike. So I saw it. Anyway no rows.PeaceDing dong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thatcher and Coal Mining in the same thread I'm an ex-new labour supporter and lean more lib-dems these days.Labour in the 70's were useless. She had a job to do but had no compassion for the people that she really screwed, and some would say couldn't even understand the hurt that she caused.She did some good but a lot of bad. Biggest error was selling council homes IMO but not building any new ones to replace them. This is hitting us big time now.Coal mining was in its death rows but the militant unions failed to see this, Heath tried too tackle it but didn't build up any stock piles so was ousted after the strikes and blackouts. She didn't make that mistakeBlair tried to carry on Thatcher Mk2. Again he did a lot of good but failed to see the housing crisis that was seriously brewing. All PM/MP's regardless of colour make successes and fcukups in equal measure. May is playing the cards dealt to her. Will Brexit be a success? Jury is still out. We may not know until 10 years have passedPeace and Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawsley Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I hold equal loathing for all political parties and their enthusiasts. I hold opinions that span the political spectrum, there is no one party that could appeal for my vote. If a politico does her/his job and busts a gut for the constituency they earn my respect regardless of rosette colour. There's not many of them though, especially my MP (who's an utter tool), so I don't bother voting now.I used to enjoy a good debate about politics but its been killed by social media and people believing they have the right not to be offended.

This post pretty much sums up my views, although I'd like to admit I've changed my mind about Theresa May, when she first took over I thought she could be Emperor Palpatines sisterTurns out I was wrong, Sith Lords are politically astute so that rules her out.
