Margaret Thatcher did absolute wonders for a small island economy.











Unfortunately, that small island was Japan.

You complain that people here do nothing about what the government foists on us unlike the French. The unions are the only organisations that ever stood up for working people and the miners openly confronted the government and yet you blame the people who backed them saying that they were reds. If the unions had not been formed you would still be working 90 hour weeks with no holidays and no benefits if you were off sick or injured. Even if you have never been in a union you have benefited from their influence if you are in employment. Get your head out of the sand, if you get up in the morning and go out to work no matter what it is, to the present government you are working class and their main source of income. Privatised industries like mining, steel and power have all now got to support shareholders and most of their profit comes from sourcing material from abroad and selling it on at a profit, not producing it here any more.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
