it isn’t his fault it is Thatcher’s (and for the next 50 years)
Why do people always blame Margaret Thatcher for everyone else’s mistakes?!?
She lost the plot towards the end granted, but as I recall, she was EXACTLY what the country needed after a period of another profligate Labaour administration, who had also allowed the “tail to wag the dog”. Unions are what i’m talking about. Unions killed our manufacturing industry. They stifled enterprize and made companies unviable. They killed any attempt at bringing quality up to a satisfactory level. The companies that still have active unions are suffering the same way. LDV, the Post Office etc.
I remember being trapped on the way back to my office one night after an area meeting. I was dropping off some kit for a colleague. I found myself surrounded by militant ex-miners who had come down from the north to support the print workers who had also lost their jobs when Rupert Murdoch shut the Fleet street print works. This was because of the ridiculous salaries the print workers had bullied the management into giving them. These people were very aggressive and wouldn’t let me carry on down the public highway, neither would they let me turn around. They were ready to turn my car over in fact. Idiots who deserved to be unemployed! It was the Police that intervened and me and my colleagues were escorted away from these violent protestors. It totally messed up the next day, but these “planks” didnt care. Irrational bullying thugs!
Sometime later I went on a holiday to Tenerife and we found a bar full of striking miners bragging about the money they were claiming off the government. All on benefits enjoying a holiday at our expense!
Years earlier I worked for an electronics firm in a factory. The union caused mayhem. They even shut an entire production floor down for two hours because they found a piece of ham that has fallen out of someone’s sandwich. They thought it was a safety risk. This is no lie, this actually happened!
Much earlier I remember the evenings by candlelight after the electricity kept going off. Unions shutting off the power. This went on for years. They bullied absolutely everyone, even their supporters! Lunatic lefties!
Thatcher fixed a lot of these problems. Good for her. I’m so glad we had Margaret Thatcher. She was a pioneer and most importantly, someone with balls!
Labour governments will always run up huge debt because they have no money sense. All they care about is swelling public services and making life difficult for anyone that wants to generate wealth. The tax payer is seen as a cash cow and they will hammer us until we are bankrupt (which is now seriously on the cards). They impose unelected quangos on us who dish out all sorts of damaging nonsense. They bang on about equality and fairness, but don’t practice what they preach. They don’t have a clue about nurturing a vibrant economy.
Our Prime Minister, when he was chancellor, created many of the problems we face today. He should have resigned years ago before he even became PM.
