Subject: RE: BS: The last days of Thatcher
There you go again, you fascist propagandist.

Go to Siberia NOW and see what happens.
Ask whether the sovbloc worker on the street got richer or poorer when state assets were given away to oligarchs.
Ask the police why they are not allowed to strike now.
Ask why workers were striking in the 70s.

Oh, I forgot, you don't care so long as people do as they are told. Not for you a free country. Just order - as in "orders are orders". You are terrified that the people might actually get a fair share of anything in the country.

The period of consensual centre-left politics in the UK was far far better for the vast majority than the results of Thatcher's greed. And never forget, Bossy Roberts (as she was called at school) had joined the ruling classes by marriage to a rich industrialist.

You have no idea about the miners' strike - the number of people fitted up on trumped up charges, the police state mentality created.

Give me back the 70s anyday. Private capital owns our water, our public transport, our energy. Capital puts teratogenics into our food supply. The rich go to hospital and the poor to the grave thanks to legions of managers charged with emulating the antics of the marketplace. Pensions are stolen to prop up bosses lifestyles (and before you tell me about Robert Maxwell, I actually knew him and he was a cunt of any persuasion). Our media are given over to the enemies of democracy (deliberately and as an act of pique over one TV programme). Plans are afoot to spy yet more on all our communications.

That woman was pure evil. Long may she suffer. It will never match the suffering she caused the country out of her greed and malice. If you want to go with her, may your god go with you.
