Berberis Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Sometimes the people who are living on the bread line have no other choice! Do you live on the bread line then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Don't be ridiculous! The miners were having their livelyhood taken away from them by the Thatcher's government! They had no choice but to strike! Wouldn't you stand up for your way of life, whether it was legal or not?? Or would you have been a SCAB??? The met police were taunting them & therefore inciting the violence that took place! I think their livelyhood went away because the business wasn't viable!

Tradescanthia Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We never elect any government. We only ever elect one MP, and the MPs between them make up a government. So that explanation is a non-starter. If somebody gave you a brain you'd be dangerous. The total electorate did not elect a Tory govt. It was only the horse trading between the Tories and the toadying 'power at any price' libs which produced a shambles of a govt. We should vote again and shove the traitorous Lib Dems out into oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
