You wouldn't remember a good politician because they wouldn't change anything, they wouldnt start any wars, they would just make everything work. Three meals a day and a roof over your head, not too hard is it?

So, this week, we've had the left up in arms about the new 'evidence' that Margaret Thatcher was prepared to send in troops to deal with the militant, trouble making unions that were holding Britain back, causing rolling black outs, and forcing Thatcher (and Heath before her) to seriously consider rationing in the UK. These Unions were not only holding pickets in their own workplace, they were performing rolling pickets to places in which they didn't work, many of the workplaces in which these pickets were held, didn't want them, and the majority of workers just wished to get on and work hard, showing how the Unions were hurting people they claim to represent.


It's no wonder that working class support for Thatcher increased during the miners strikes.


Yet when the Wilson Government of the 1960s closed mines down - not a finger was raised. Yet when a Tory Government does it - outrage.


It appears that the Wilson Government closed more mines down than the Thatcher Government. However, to some, she is still an evil witch with no heart. Oddly we never hear about Wilson these days.


Basically, as far as the media is concerned, it's ok to screw things up as long as you are a lefty.


Also, on a final point, the Labour government of 1945-51 which was QUITE prepared to use troops to break strikes!


The national scandal here is that joke papers like the Mirror find themselves being taken seriously because their bile happens to chime with the liberal elite view as represented by the BBC!

I'm 're-educated by a schoolboy born in the mid nineties about events that took place twenty years before he was born.

The Welsh and Northern working classes never supported Thatcher. The Southern working class and particularly the South Eastern working classes supported her as they had the opportunity to move up the socio-economic ladder.

I don't think it's fair to discount Cobi's views on the basis that he's young. There's plenty more reasons to discount his views.

This is all coming out as documents have reached the point where they can be released.

I can't wait to see the evidence that Blair had to go to war with Iraq - that'll be popcorn time.

I don't recall anybody supporting Thatcher to close pits and if there was an increase in her support it was because people were fed up with Scargill demanding 40% wage increases when the rest of the country was slumming it. Neither were the members of the NUM balloted regarding strike action and again this was a head turner for the British public.

It would be very wrong to confuse any support for Thatcher with the condemnation of Scargill. To my mind the day that Scargill gained power in one of the most powerful unions was the day that the union movement died, that does not mean that I had any support for thatcher!

This story in history is tragic, because if ever a strong trade union movement was needed, it's today! - As Penz recently stated, the unions are pretty much dead in the water and I believe that's because of the Scargill days back in the 70s that have contributed to Thatchers culture of self interest and greed.

What the actual feck?!

It's a feked up world!

In my view scargill and his lefwing millitant muppets thought they could turn britain into a comunist paradise like russia or east germany by force! scargill was Sh*t scared of balloting his members because they would never have backed his strike. mrs thatcher the democraticly elected prime minister would not be bullied by scargill or his flying pickets, the country is a better place without red arthur and his merry men.

I'm not shore what the NUM finally working out what a hypocritical, thieving, Wink stain Scargill is twenty years after she left office has got to do with Mags.

Much of Thatcher's support did come from people getting pig sick with the country being run by unelected, northen monkey, union leaders, it was also, on the whole, aspirational in nature, the lefty tw@tery like to call it greed but human nature should not be discounted so circumspectly imho.

True the unions and Scargil were a pisstaking costly monstrosity but we are much worse off without them, the whole world views the population as cash cows to be milked. People in minimum wage jobs are subsidised by the rest of the tax paying cash cows to boot. I used to deliver boats to Liverpool docks which was like a graveyard, it was deserted until you went into the subsidised canteen with about two thousand dockers playing cards and drinking tea. The result of labour jobs for life policy. Because of this and photos of British Leyland workers all asleep on the night shift have allowed the Tory scum to drive the working man into poverty, socialist or Tory they should all hang their heads in shame and come the revolution they should be lined up side by side as there is little difference between them.

Unions have always taken the piss if they could get away with it, just as bosses have always tried to give feck all rights to workers.

That's why you get cnuts like Webb and Scargill involved in unions and bosses like Brent.

Maybe I'm wrong to blame Cobis age for not agreeing with his post but on whatever political subject Cobi reads Wiki and then offers us his profound knowledge on the subject which gets on my tits as he's trying to preach to people who have experienced life under Thatcher and the cruelty that it involved and haven't just opened up a school textbook and read a chapter or two.
