denlin Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Mrs Thatcher without a shadow of doubt was the best we have ever had and is what we need right now!! to sort this mess of a country! yes she broke the unions and good on her for that, the mines were not economically viable, as for the free milk as i remember at school it hardly ever got drunk as is was warm and tasted off...well thats what we thought, so was a complete waste of money, also certain underprivilidged kids still got the milk anyway........as for the grocers daughter bit and chain of supermarkets:hihi: bit of a chip on that shoulder eh:suspect: There were more people in the unions than the miners, she brought the country to it's knees. I knew people who had thriving little businesses in the mining villages and lost them. So much for her caring about enterprise. Milk was delivered fresh daily in one-third pint bottles and all children drank it. The only chip I've got about her is the lies and hypocrisy she spouted, she was ruthless and evil, no compassion was shown for human beings affected by her policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because all the emphasis is on the fat cats, the workers no longer matter.
