"Still jumping in with both feet again Jim??"
Still brown-nosing the establishment Teribus
Thatcher's admiration for Pinochet made it quite clear that she would happily have adopted the tactics he used in Chile against anybody who opposed her - now there's a thought - Wembley Stadium as a holding/torture centre, just like Santiago.
Even the most neutral commentators of the strike could not avoid the obvious enthusiasm with which the 'guardians of law and order' supported Thatcher and her minions; from their waving of wage packets at the men on the picket line, the military-type charges through the mining villages, to the mounted baton-charges at Orgreave and other demonstrations
We were caught in a three hour traffic-jamb on the way to Manchester when the police (just) fell short of declaring martial law by barricading mining villages off the motorway - discharging their duty, my arse.
I find threads like this incredibly revealing - not from the behavior of a brain-dead like Carol Thatcher - you really wouldn't expect anything else.
On the one hand you have her and Prinny and the Duke spouting racist shite - and Terabus and his friends leaping to their defence; on the other, some poor saddo (if he/she wasn't an invention of Thatcher's PR squad) making a supposed death threat, and there are the brown-noses holding their collective hands up in horror. Does anybody take such things seriously? The (neutral) police certainly don't otherwise we would have road-blocks, strip searches and doors kicked in at midnight - after all, this is a THATCHER we're talking about. Even the scabloid press can't bother there arses with it.
Racism effects, damages, and even destroys peoples lives (not to mention killing people); those who indulge in it are thugs, and those who apologise for it are spineless thugs who haven't the bottle to act on their perverted beliefs.
