Like he'd ever have been up at night thinking for a second about the victims of the policies he pushed. Respect has to go both ways.
He was a ****. Simple as that. He and Thatcher have created the neo-liberal, small state crap that we and our working-class mates without bikes are now living through. The modern generation won't have a clue though-they'll be on their phones and as long as there's some bread and circuses and brown people to slag off they'll be ok.
I suspect that those people with their bread, circuses and brown people to slag off are largely the same group.
I’m not saying he was not a bad person, he was, however as I believe there should be some compassion for the dead.
It wasn't obligatory but a choice. It was about availability of work. (It was said for every job at the mine there were 2 support jobs feeding the industry.) No one sent anyone down the mines as i say, lt was an option. They were different times. It was about giving hope to the next generations. My Dad. A coal face worker did not want me to go into the pit especially underground. (And he had his reason as I found out in later life) But it was a choice I made. And I will say this, the camaraderie and looking out for one another was second to none. Everything that Thatcher and her ilk destroyed. May they rot in hell.
Including Hitler. Myra Hindley etc etc ? Extreme I know, but the supposed lady, imo was extreme. Maybe not in yours. Thatcher etc. Their main aim was to destroy the miners. And the rest of the unions. Society etc.
It seems he belatedly mellowed on this (most would probably say, too late): In 2009, Tebbit said he had regrets about the 1984-85 miners' strike: Those mining communities had good working class values and a sense of family values. The men did real men's heavy work going down the pit. There were also some very close-knit communities which were able to deal with the few troublesome kids. If they had any problems they would take the kid round the back and give them a good clip round the ear and that would be the end of that. Many of these communities were completely devastated, with people out of work turning to drugs and no real man's work because all the jobs had gone. There is no doubt that this led to a breakdown in these communities with families breaking up and youths going out of control. The scale of the closures went too far. The damage done to those communities was enormous as a result of the strike
Norman Tebbit has been reunited with his close friend Margaret Thatcher… in Hell It's okay, they've privatised the furnaces Laura and Normal Island News Jul 8 READ IN APP In heart warming news, Norman Tebbit has been reunited with his close friend Margaret Thatcher… in Hell. Tebbit reached the ripe old age of 94 before Satan finally claimed him because the evil ones almost always last the longest. Tebbit was widely regarded as being critical to Margaret Thatcher’s success, and as such was adored by billionaire sociopaths who want to mercilessly exploit their workers. He was a kind-hearted and thoughtful man who accused those of Asian descent of not being truly British because they didn’t cheer for the England cricket team. Presumably, he never saw those from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as British either, because looking down on the colonies is the English way. As a minister in Thatcher’s government during the 1980s, Tebbit was tasked with the job of curbing union power and crushing workers, especially in the north. He was widely celebrated by ******** for his steadfast refusal to compromise with the people he was elected to represent. Tebbit played an important role in ******* over the working class, leaving millions unemployed, and creating a forgotten generation of kids known as “millennials”. For some inexplicable reason, those millennials grew up to hate capitalism. I don’t think I will ever figure out why. All of the finest ******** such as David Cameron, Iain Goebbels-Smith, and Kemi Badenoch have paid tribute to the man whose evil they have strived to emulate. A teary David Cameron said: “He was a role model and I tried so hard to fill his shoes, but sadly, the closest I got was having sex with a pig and losing a Brexit referendum.” Don’t worry, David, those things are good too. The enduring legacy of Tebbit and Thatcher is a broken housing market, privatised services, sky-high bills, rip-off landlords, poverty wages, foodbanks, the abolition of workers’ rights, the largest rich-poor divide in history, and general all round misery. Even the winners in today’s society are miserable, they’re just smart enough to direct their frustrations at their victims, rather than themselves. Tis the neoliberal way. You can imagine Tebbit’s excitement when he discovered the furnaces in Hell have been privatised and he has to pay rent on his torture chamber. Sadly, there is no money in Hell, but the rent can be paid in screams. Eternal and inescapable suffering is a small price to pay to please Hell’s insatiable elite. Tebbit is finally living the dream that he had for others. Isn’t it lovely?
Thanks. I can't like that mate. (As it was after the fact) But it does explain the emotions felt on here. Some will never understand.
