13% on the dole....when exactly was that unemployment was far higher under her than pre-the 1979 election (though to be fair the figures are manipulated so much these days no one even those in government has a clue what the true unemployment figures are in this country without even factoring in under-employment).

[quote="El Barbudo"]WTF are you talking about now? At least my "cherries" were factual, I have no idea where you are plucking these stream-of-consciousness gobbets from.[/ I was there and lived it. I was one of those 13% and listened to those 40 union mafia bosses on the telly every day, I don't need anyone to tell me anything.
We'll never agree, so give up. I served Queen and country during her tenure and have the scars to prove it, and saw it close up, so don't lecture me !

In which force did you serve and receive your wounds?

You made the claim.
Im just interested in how you served queen and country and got your wounds. It seems strange that you took such offence to a pretty simple question. Almost as if you had made it up and didn’t want to be asked any more details.

I knew the Britain before she came along and I knew the Britain as it was during her tenure. Massive unemployment, sky-high interest rates, flogging-off anything they could think of (not using the proceeds for any investment, oh no, just to fund short-term tax cuts), throwing millions of people out of work (not only miners) and reducing unemployment benefit at the same time, moving people from the unemployed register onto the disabled list to make the figures look better, squandering North Sea Oil revenues, boom-bust-boom-bust economics, abolishing councils where the electorate had voted Labour in, using the police as a private army, moving the planning process from elected councils to unelected "Development corporations", using public money to build the infrastructure at Canary Wharf whilst bragging that it was all privately financed, turning a blind eye to BA's dirty tricks that brought down Freddie Laker (because BA couldn't be seen to fail, it had been privatised !), flogging off BL to BAe who quickly sold it again at a profit once they had persuaded the government to relinquish their "Golden share" which was supposed to prevent such an occurrence, allowing Nestle to buy Rowntree despite the fact that Swiss law as it stood would have prevented any such move by a British firm trying to take over a Swiss one, allowing nurses pay to dwindle to the point where even the moderate RCN threatened to strike, running down state schools and hospitals, introducing the poll tax, ministers taking posts on the board of industries that they had privatised, preventing councils from building housing to replace stock sold via right-to-buy, presiding over the first widening of the gap between rich and poor incomes since mid-Victorian times, "Care in the community".
Basically, greed and hypocrisy ruled.
And you were "prepared to fight for my country against the left of the 70's " ? What a wonderful utopia you created, eh?
Spot sir no tears will be shed by me,many a drink will be had over the next week or so. I just wish my dear dad was still here to join in the celebrations.

Well done for so amply demonstrating that you never actually experienced the period of Labour government in the 70's. If you had, you would know that it bore absolutely zero relation to the 13 years of New Labour.
Some of us lived through both and are able to make an informed comparison.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Predictable. And not something I would ever share with a hide under the stairs type like you.
