Thread Name: BS: Thatcher fibbed about coal mines!
Subject: RE: BS: Thatcher fibbed about coal mines!
Thatcher came to power in 1979 with 22 Scottish MPs out of 71, in 1983 she had 21, in1987 she had 10, in 1992 the Tories had 11, in 1997 they had 0 and since then only one Scotitish Conservative MP is in the Westminster parliament. The question as to whether Scotland should elect its own parliament is a no brainer. Since Thatcher's time the Tories have never had a mandate from the Scottish people. She lied through her teeth and secretly cut the Scottish budget, she tried the Poll tax on Scotland first, she destroyed the coal industry, she conned people into buying their own homes thus drying up affordable houses which taxpayers had funded in the first place, she kowtowed to fascists like Pinochet ....
She was an evil, nasty lier and should be remembered as such.
