WeX Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We would have the cheapest fuel in Europe now if Thatcher had not destroyed the mines. how? coal was too expensive to mine back then. Now it could be different, but EU carbon taxes will inflate the prices. why do you think no one is mass mining coal again if its such a great resource?

Shogun Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I hate the bitch but a lot of people think she was wonderful for the country I think you have to make your own mind up,she did nothing of any good for our area, I think stopping the kids milk was going to happen sooner or later it was a throw back from the old days when kids used to have bad diets and rickets,she did a lot worse than that,but she will always be known as Thatcher the milk snatcher.

MrNM Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Why was Margaret Thatcher nicknamed the milk snatcher and why do some people hate her so much? Thatcher was the greatest leader of our time! Almost as good as Ronald Regan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We would have the cheapest fuel in Europe now if Thatcher had not destroyed the mines. How do you figure that out? The miners were earning £500 a week in the early 80s. The only reason fuel was cheap was because of massive subsidies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpist Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 For me personally I will remember the Thatcher era as the time of what can I do you for, not what can I do for you. Everything had a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
