    I grew up in a coalfield community who thatcher declared civil war upon. Anybody from the NE defending the Tories needs to give their head a shake mate.

    Shame you weren’t as concerned about coal in the 80s as you are now.

    Who's defending thatcher, i brought up the early 70's before her. Was it not the left wing Unions declaring war on the country which got people to vote in thatcher to beat the left wing unions.

    Of course you are not.

    For clarity she was a wicked woman who wasted parts of the NE that still haven’t recovered. She created a lot of the social and economic problems we have today (what the right are whinging about further back the thread) through mass unemployment. But hey she beat communities fighting to keep their jobs - wonderful.

    She won’t be needing coal where she should be.

    Perhaps he should have took Tebbits’s advice and got on his bike?

    You still didn’t answer his question, which is your norm.
    Why did the British people vote Thatcher in?

    You have a very weird willingness to let kids go hungry that’s for sure. Pretty sick imho,

    I have answered your question we don’t let kids go hungry and we educate people so that doesn’t happen.

    Thankfully people like Springsteen supported our communities and fed miners kids. Go and watch that excellent documentary and perhaps learn some humanity?

    Why did people vote Labour last year? People wanted a change.

    As aside the power of the unions was probably too big but she took a sledgehammer to break a nut and smashed communities. People can argue the economic merits of the mines but to take out the one employer in mining communities and then do nothing to help those communities is wicked in the extreme.

    Mind Thatch taking milk off kids would have been a vote winner in your house :)

    You will have to ask Tebbit the logic. I’m merely telling you what the tories told the unemployed to do. Though I think he is with Thatch now,
