Lots of work in Worksop, the sandwich factory is thriving it also helps if you can speak Polish.

 

Ain't that the truth. I think the number of poles has decreased but there are still alot, although I think there has been a sizeable polish population in Nottinghamshire since the war.

Why is it nonsense?

Because its not based on fact.

The Press over the Channel are concentrating more on the less sympathetic views of Margaret Thatcher unlike the uncritical vomit promoting excrement coming from the UK media.

Great link. I'm so glad I know what the French media think.

Which bits?

 

Wastage of oil/gas revenues? Screwing up the housing market? The flawed utilities sales? Unbalancing the economy? Messing up credit markets? Fostering a culture of selfish individualism? Failing to protect British industry? Messing up the balance of trade?

 

You bang on about consumer debt and the housing market a lot. You need to understand the origins of the problems.

I do not know about Mr Basham but I do know a lot of people in mining villages who have spent years on the dole.

 

A little story .

 

The village school in Creswell Derbyshire overlooked the pit tip.

A mate of mine was a teacher there and one day made the comment,"I don,t know what you lot will do when you leave school".

 

The whole class stood up pointed out the window and shouted "over there sir".

 

The kids and grandkids of those pupils have no where to point to now and these kids and others from similar mining villages have no future whatsoever.

This is often due to the isolation of these communities.

 

Funny that - I grew up in a very similar village not at all that far from Creswell. Father was a miner too. But then again I wasn't daft enough only aspire to the colliery gate, and I actually got off my arse, did some proper study and went to Uni. When the mines closed, as it was clearly obvious they would, I had a lot further to aspire to than the colliery gate - I've worked all over Europe and had a fantastic time doing so.

 

Not worked for 32 years because the steel industry shut down. That's a parasite and a half - I'm damn sure he could have made efforts to retrain, hell in 32 years there's no excuse at all.

She took Care of the Elderly out of the NHS and into the hands of greedy, uncaring business men whose only thought was to make profit with no regard to the moral or practical aspect of care.

It's not often I say this but that is utter tripe.

Hi ash, "brainwashing" is a very interesting term for a psychology student to be using.

 

I'm just using forum language

I presume you've never worked in the private care industry, or perhaps you have. Tell me why you think my comment is tripe.
