What really beggars belief is that you dont seem to understand why some people ,particularly in Barnsley,should be pleased at the demise of Thatcher ,and your insistance that racist chanting is a bit of harmless fun
wot i ment was a rational hatred of one person cant be compared in the same way to a racist chant. Im not saying it is right to wish her dead btw, although i do wether its right or wrong! cant change how i feel
should never be happy about someone else's death regardless of circumstance. You are no doubt aware of the old saying about what comes around? As for a few hundred people shouting town full of pakis, how many of them actually see it as racial hatred/dislike?
behave you must know the feelings people have ..round these parts about that fu.cking thing...die die die ..the t,wat..(
her whole political ethos was............ sod everybody else, look after number one. Therefore as someone who lived through that era I am following her lead and I look after me and mine, and I don't give a rats arse whether she carps it tomorrow or suffers a long lingering life of senile dementia.
No matter what the circumstances? Fred West,Myra Hindley,Hitler......what goes round comes round? the only definite in life is death........how many thought it was racial hatred,.....a few hundred
I don't care one way or the other. I was a steel worker during the steel strike and large swathes of my family were affected by the miners strike which had a profound effect on me at the time but what I can't ever forgive her for was her "greed is good" and "look after no.1" politics.
RE: her whole political ethos was............ i lived through it ..business went arse up cause of her ..family suffered ..all my family ..father a miner uncles ..too many to go through i wish it dead...but she will one day ...yesss..tonight hopefully..( ....f,uck it (blaze) (blaze)
Not really. One is unfounded hate based on blinkered beliefs, usually ignorance centred around colour and religion. The other is seen as justice for someone who targeted an industry this area - your friends and relatives - was built on and relied on - for the sake of busting the trade union movement. No comparison. Not even close.
RE: Not really. She wasn't the only one to blame for the demise of the industry. The fact that the NUM was led by a meglomaniac didn't help matters. I incidently worked in the oil construction industry which since Blair came in has been decimated in the UK. This is due to global markets, similar to that encountered by the Thatcher government re. coal. The fact that we didn't cause mayhem, unlike militant socialist miners, is the reason the oil industry workers plight has been ignored by the media. Looking at the whole issue sensibly, there is nothing any group can do to fight globalisation. When you can pay Chinese workers 18 pence an hour against the European minimum wage, what will industry do, but place orders on the other side of the world. To hell with the pollution caused by extra shipping, packaging costs and the like. It is after all, money that makes the world go round.
You know for someone who "isnt racist" you have a long history on this and the previous board of spouting apologist drivel when it comes to this subject. Just an observation.
