Subject: RE: BS: Was Thatcher right?
Ray Padgett...Remember how the establishment and the media banded together to demonise Scargill, and they've the cheek to boast of "our democracy".
I had an uncle who was a miner in the Fife coal field just after the war. He said it was hard and dirty work ,but the miners had real community .
Thatcher destroyed that by making every worker a capitalist.
Chain them down with morgage payments, all the consumerism they can stomach, thats the only game in town.
Thanks for the post Ray!!
