    Tribal politics. White working class. You’re a ****ing hillbilly mate, only they have better music.

    If you have to work, you’re working class. Doesn’t matter a **** what colour you are.

    If you’re on the jam roll, you’re not working class, you’re underclass. Hope this helped.

    And yet French pits, German pits still running. Heavily subsidised by their Governments mainly because their Governments know the value of having these kind of resources available to their nations.

    If it doesn't matter what colour you are then why are Labour obsessed with it? Same goes for gender, why are Labour obsessed?

    The worst Tory government in my lifetime at least, trying to negotiate the clusterfuck that is Brexit, and Labour can't make inroads.

    They have betrayed the white working class and they're paying for it.

    England still relies heavily on coal fired power stations nearly 40 years after the pits were closed. I would say the days of coal being numbered was one of the lies perpetuated at that time.

    The West anyway. State of the ******s involved in politics. Rich toffs in the Torys and inadequate, thick window lickers in Labour due to 'positive' discrimination.

    Place is ****ed. I'm just happy to watch it burn.

    Firstly, don't bother reading this as it has all been said before and is probably rather boring. Secondly, still don't bother.

    I worked for a Tory-run borough which sold off a load of Council houses and flats for well below the market value and with maximum subsidies. It looked like the best way to get thousands of people out of social housing and a way of reducing the burden of maintaining said properties. It fed into the whole "Englishman's home is his castle" rhetoric that the Turdies were happy to bandy about in the 1980's.

    Scroll forward a few decades and most original Council flat owners sold up when prices went through the roof and big business moved in to scoop up swathes of former Council estates. The need for social housing hasn't disappeared so now the Council has to rent back its former properties at the going market rental rates in order to put tenants in them. On the other side were the ones who couldn't even afford to pay the reduced mortgages and lost their homes when it went tits up after Norman Lamont's Black Wednesday. When quizzed at the time about the number of people who would lose their houses Lamont quipped that nobody forced them to buy. Nice.

    Could Thatcher have predicted this? Doubtful. If she had been able to predict this happening would it have changed her policy in any way. Certainly not. The Turdies, the Yuppies and all those other "greed is good" cnuts in the 80's were all about making as much money as possible and bugger any consequences.

    I didn't agree with selling off Council houses but I have met many people who made the most of it, made a packet out of selling them on, and think that Thatcher should be worshipped as a god because of that. The same people give not a single f.uck about coal miners and the loss of heavy industry. When quizzed they will often say "f.uck them". This is as much of Thatcher's legacy as selling of Council flats.

    The fact that a lot of people needing social housing now are immigrants chimes well with the far right Turdies and UKIPers of the world. Kick out the foreigners and there will be more jobs and housing for white folks. That tactic worked like a charm in the Leave/Remain referendum. Did you stay till the end? I told you not to bother!

    Yes Thatcher could have predicted "this".

    If "this" isn't what Thatchers government wanted then why did Cameron's and now May's government follow the exact same dogma?

    Don't think for one minute that the cùnts in charge don't know exactly what they are doing.

    My favourite topic is when people go on about Thatcher stopping free milk in schools, even though numerous Labour governments didn't reinstate it. People who drink milk are generally scum.
