Had a look up the threads and can't see where anyone was blaming the Tories for the trade union issues? Especially not me.

I was in full agreement with Tim Egger (think that was his name?) the energy minister who pushed the secret ballot vote through Parliament. I may not be a Tory but even then, I like to think that like more people than politicians are comfortable with, I agreed with good policies even if the party would never overall get my vote.   Anyway, the Labour front bench agreed so not sure anybody other than disgraced Trots like Scargill disagreed.

Mind you if Th*tcher liked ballots so much, what price The GLC?
