    Unfortunately, my skill set is limited to finding old threads only.

    I dont see how anybody in working-class communities could ever think that Thatcher is a decent, compassionate individual with community at the heart of her ideas. For me, she's ruined society and the effects of her monetarism and neo-liberal economics are now truly coming home to roost. She was a nasty, evil, uncaring person wedded to nasty, cruel economic policies that ruined lives. Scargill made tactical errors with the strike I think and he was inflexible (like Thatcher) but that's about it.
    I'd rather have Scargill round for a cuppa than Thatcher.
