harvey19 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I do remember. 1973, wasn't it. Tory Government, wasn't it? That is at the heart of her entire attack on working people. It wasn't an attack on the working people it was a curb on union power that was disrupting the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is at the heart of her entire attack on working people. she didnt attack working people she attacked unions that had got too big for their boots and had to be crushed. Remember the winter of discontent ? remember the 3 day working week ? Remember rubbish pilled up on the streets ? All down to unions with too much power. Unions that had to be crushed. And thanks to Mrs Thatcher those unions were stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpikeMac Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 What do you think the government should have done then to curb the demands of the unions ? They could have given working folks a fair wage. I believe that many of them are still waiting for this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem8634 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Stupid rag that no-one reads anyway. Whether you consider it supid or not, it is not true that no-one reads it. ---------- Post added 09-04-2013 at 01:01 ---------- I wouldnt call a picture of rioting ,violent , law breaking Minors "Superb". How about a corrupt police force acting with brutality? Remind me how the prosecutions against all of those law-breaking, rioting miners went.
