Clown Shoes Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 If they want to protest why dont they protest when energy prices keep going up or when criminals get suspended sentences for mugging old ladies? Or even better, protest when she was alive. As i said, she hasnt been in power for over 20 years what are they hoping to achieve. I thought us brits were better than that. I am not sure why that matters? Surely it is a good thing that the young are showing an interest in politics? ---------- Post added 17-04-2013 at 08:55 ---------- That made me laugh.

ricgem2002 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Having grown up through the miners strike I know what effect it had on communities but a lot of the blame lies with Scargill!! she wasn't my favourite person in the world but do I think its idiotic to celebrate the death of an 87 year old dementia sufferer? Yes did scargill sell off our assets/close down manufacturing/put policies in place that today are crippling its people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The protest against her had to be linked to "something" ........ As you say they were not alive during her reign and therefore she hadn't made a policy for them to protest against .

bullerboY Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I wonder if Scargills funeral will be celebrated by the men he put out of work,and the townships HE affectivly closed down.Lets see how many tears will be shed for this creep who set friend upon friend and destroyed families.Now he lives in luxury.

stressconsul Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 As the man said - Her funeral should have been put out to tender and the contract given to the lowest bidder - its what she would have wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In protesting against Thatcher they are protesting against rising energy prices. If we had coal, we wouldn't be so much at the mercy of these companies. She also privatised the energy companies, which, like every corporation since Thatcher it seems, have become greedier and greedier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I too remember this, the unions held the country to ransom. Scargill & Thatcher played a tit for tat game with each other & unfortunately the people suffered because of this. Scargill too has a lot to answer for, people are conveniently forgetting this, at the time we were crying out for change, we'd had enough, the closed shop meant that the unions had total control & again it's the people who suffered.

ghost rider Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have never voted Tory in my life but that sort of behaviour is insensitive to celebrate somebody's death.I am glad I am above that sort of primitive behaviour.It makes me embarrassed to be working class.

Clown Shoes Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 BUT SHE'S DEAD! People protest to change something or make a difference. Whats gonna change?
