WeX Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Because our hardine left wing friends don't like to let facts and common sense get in the way of their class envy and hatred. It's a funny ol'world on SF. Rarely do we see a well thought out counter argument to something like the subject of this thread. Are the left wind nut jobs here so stupid they cant see their only argument is one of envy and handed down hatred? I suppose the correct word to describe many of the SF left wing is "small minded".

WeX Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I am not hard line but I am proud to be working class and I neither envy nor hate upper classes unless as that evil old bat did they desire to crush the working class who made this country what it is, well what it was before she defiled it:roll: Can you give examples of how Thatcher tried to crush the working class please.

Ousetunes Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 She will die soon. Won't we all? Personally, I'm looking forward to Scargill popping his clogs. The Veuve remains on ice... Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Can you give examples of how Thatcher tried to crush the working class please. Do you remember the miners strike? People killed themselves because they saw no light at end of tunnel and small businesses went to the wall because they relied on the miners for their income, so much for looking after them after they helped vote her in with promises of helping those who helped themselves.

Palsonly Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The tories turned their backs on Thatcher soon after they had used her to do their dirty work. They showed no loyalty towards her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the difference between Yorkshire mines and those in Nottinghamshire. Yorkshire chose to follow Scargill, the Marxist and held the country to ransom. Thatcher, the democratically elected PM, smashed his organisation and had the support of the country to do so. Shown by Thatchers rise in support (popular vote) after the strikes in the 1987 general election. The losers are never happy, they will always have a chip on their shoulder.

Were there any coalmines in Bedfordshire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find back then, decisions where made at cabinet level not just by the PM. It was Blair who started all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
