wednesday1 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 MorrisIncidentally, I wonder why the TaxPayers Alliance haven't been all over the airwaves complaining about taxpayers money being used to pay for her funeral?

frank ryan Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 One has to laugh as much of the profit from the sale of the record goes to one of Thatchers great friends and supporters Andrew Lloyd Webber. Still I'm sure the broadcast that went around the world of the riff raff out on the streets of Goldthorpe will be a warning to any would be investors that the place is a hole in the world and best avoided. the idea that,after 30 years, the world's investors were on the very brink of punting big style on goldthorpe is so ridiculous it's funny. out there in the big wide world, goldthorpe now exists as a place of pride and resistance, these non existent investors are no more or less likely to spend in goldthorpe than they were last week, but my mate in australia has seen the images and shown his mates that there are places in this country where we don't wear black and bow our heads when scum like thatcher croak.

frank ryan Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 You talk as if everything was hunky dory with Britains coal industry before Thatcher came along. Most of the mines were just not making any money. Here's something not many people mention, in a shorter period of time way more mines were closed by Labour governments before Thatcher came to power, and for the same reasons, they were uneconomic; why dont the you and the Goldthorpe morons protest that? because it was Thatcher who decided to wage war on the miners, steel workers, engineers etc - they didn't decide to defend their communities, they did so because economic illiterates were in power and they decided to strip this country of manufacturing - other countries, led by those with more sense and understanding, knew that the way forward was investment and specialism not destruction and the sending in of armies of out of control policemen to destroy communities and call them 'retards' when they protest. History will mark thatcher and her like, who destroyed an economy, as 'retards', not the folk of Goldthorpe who protested and partied when the vile old witch who brutalized them went to hell. ding dong old boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life's too short to harbour hatred. Sometimes you lose battles, they should have moved on, but chose to stand still forever and taught their children to hate as well. Maggie died in the Ritz of old age reading a book, I can only hope my ending is as cool as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Tamudo Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Life's too short to harbour hatred. I agree. Maggie died in the Ritz of old age reading a book, I can only hope my ending is as cool as that. So why rub salt into the wounds?

FACEBOOK Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I agree. So why rub salt into the wounds. Just pointing out that instead of wasting their energy on decades of hatred and bitterness which ultimately got them nowhere, maybe they could have used their anger to drive and fuel a new beginning for themselves. They chose to harbour hatred and teach hate to their offspring. Hardly noble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
