I completely agree, Gurny, which is one reason I couldn’t stand Thatcher. It was handled extremely badly. None of that means the unions were blameless. They, too, have to accept some responsibility but, of course, the left just blames the Tory scum for everything.
Now, apparently, not only am I scum but also evil. Talk about moronic; and why? First, for pointing out one of, if not the most basic law of economics regarding supply and demand. Second, because I was personally responsible, apparently for closing the mines (at the time I wasn’t even voting Tory). I guess that makes you responsible for the millions who died in the Soviet Gulags, Fans? Just how ridiculous can anyone get. Then we have IA chipping in with the partitioning of India, which for some bizarre reason is linked to the OP?! Even more ridiculous.
Of course, the wonderful Germans would never do anything like that. Well, then, why don’t you lot clear off to live in Germany or somewhere else in the EU. After all, the EU isn’t racist so I’m sure they’ll happily take you; and if not just bung a few million euros in a brown bag and everything will be fine.
Heavens, talk about the usual suspects. It just gets worse and worse.
