go on then, i'll say it.

Small Pox was eradicated in 1979

I think the Lady did a fantastic job following up on that eradicating some other parasites....


(I know the pox is a virus lalalalalala)

 

On the upside...

he knows how to take the Germans out on a football pitch. Funniest thing in ages that was.

 

Which parasites would they be? nt

 

Give him one thing

Thought he was spot on about Scousers!

 

Hmmm lets think - it's a tricky one

name something that was quite powerful in 1979, but a real drain on the society, existed solely to fulfil its own ends and cared little for it's host.

Was given a good dose of the McGregor vaccine in 84 and little has been seen of it since.


Some small mutations have been seen recently in the fire brigade and teaching professions, but that nice Mr. Cameron will be along in a moment to give them some loverly medicine.

We might be needing these soon

So it's the union you're referring to rather than the industry.

</p>

Your usual ill-informed (and badly written) nonsense.</p>

And given that energy experts now agree that we do need a domestic coal industry after all how does your &quot;lady&quot; throwing the baby out with the bath water appear as anything other than catastrophicfolly? By the time we'vereplaced what the old despot destroyed the already huge cost of her reckless vindictiveness will have doubled. </p>

I'm all for capitalism when it benefits the people. She didn't give a **** about the people and she couldn't even get the capitalism right. </p>

yes Windy the Unions.

I apologise for my style of writing, but as I've said the teachers were on strike alot when I was a kid, so you can thank the unions for that too.

As for misinformed, well it's about time you came out of denial.

I don't think anyone would argue with you that the loss of the coal mining industry was a bad thing.

It's just a shame Scargill and his goons couldn't see that before they went headlong into an unwinable suicidal strike all for their own fame and glory rather than the good of the industry.

Without breaking the unions we wouldn't have an economy to need coal!

Anyway we won - you lost.

 

How can anyone with a link to Barnsley say that...

...do you not remeber what the Tories did to this town

 

An independent view

The country needed coal, and a coal mining industry, in those days and possibly again today.

At that time I used to go in a local pub in Dodworth. The miners used to gather there and plan the next picket logistics etc.

They had a political point to make - the industry was being crucified by the government of the day.

So why was it they never talked about politics or the industry? The conversation was ALWAYS about violence, intimidation, atacking the police, avoiding the police, tricking the police, beating up the scabs etc etc.

At the time I tried to engage and find out some facts but no-one was prepared to listen - the aim was to beat up the scabs and that was it.

I stopped going in the pub until the strike was over. The lads had a good case but they let violent thugs take over.

Anyway it is in the past now but no doubt the debate will run on and on.

 

RE: yes Windy the Unions.

You stated WE won you lost. who is we?

 

I think you'll find that he who laughs last laughs longest.

</p>

The strike turned out to be unwinable because everyone had underestimated the depths to which Thatcher would stoop and the scale of her disregard for the people she was charged with representing. But it was just a battle you won my short sighted nazi friend. The UK coal industry is on its way back along with the union which which will be once again representing thousands of decent hard-working people while those of us with an ounce of humanity are dancing on F&uuml;hrer Thatcher's grave.</p>

I'm sorry to hear about the failings of your education. There are adult courses you could take that would help you better understand these things.</p>

 

Becuase I see what the unions did to this town

and see what Labour haven't done for this town.

A hundred years of loyalty simply has not been repaid.

 

He rejoices in it. nt

 

RE: An independent view

You were going in the wrong pub then Steely. Not all of the miners had that mentality, its the same with anything you always get some who shed a bad light on the others. I'm sure if you would have gone into a pub full of police who were working on the lines you'll have heard worse. They used to come through the village i lived shouting and swearing trying to antagonise the miners, it used to terrify me as i was about 10 at the time.
My Dad was a Union man, and worked at Nostell/Sharlston Colliery. Someone put a post on here recently saying not voting for the conservatives because of the strike was old hat and we should forget about the strike. Not likely as it affected a second generation of people. I can remember seeing my parents struggle with money and worrying about the mortgage, so i for one will never vote conservative. They destroyed an industry simply because they could.

 

So when's the first strike planned for then? nt

 

"what the unions did to this town"

</p>

Have you ever actually lived here? You certainly talk like you never have.</p>

 

RE: Becuase I see what the unions did to this town

What you doing tonight M1 Tyke? Would love to take you to the Nostell Miners Welfare so you could make a speech on your views. You'd go down a storm (furious) (battered)

 

You're too right

My Dad stood up at a Union meeting and said that Cortonwood should be sacrificed.

Said that Maggie had a plan and April was to the wrong time to strike.

He took a beating for that from the thugs. All the way through the strike, even though he never returned to work the bloke accross the street would intimidate us. I was 14 at the time and he used to shout abuse even at me.

Thing is the fat lazy fecker spent 90% of his time in Cortonwood club on the sick. He wasn't even fighting for his job - he was fighting for his sick note!

Him and the picketers and men who drop concrete from motorway bridges. These are the decent hard working miners that Windy wants to re - unionise

Jesus wept.

Oh. and as for me being a Nazi - I'll bet my mortgage that it's these feckers that voted BNP!

Yeah, let's forget about it. Might as well forget about the holocaust as well, that was even longer ago.</p>
