She did pull off the biggest con of all times, selling us something we already owned, funnily enough nearly all the money ended up in the hands of here friends eventually.

Oh I dunno mate, Boris managed to convinced “the great unwashed” that he was “one of us” and got them to vote for him, that was astounding amd very very clever.

Anyway, back on topic.

Another trophy for the Dippers -
Longest serving inmate in the UK - 47 years and counting for Robert Maudsley..

And how that’s good for Liverpools title charge, mustn’t forget that.

I actually think Thatcher was amazing

And if the Union bosses had stopped taking the piss and making extortionate demands then all would have been fine,
so actually yes Fuck the miners, and the steel industry and the car manufacturing, brought it all on themselves by being sheep and not standing up to their militant union shop stewards
Scargill was a true ****, as were most union leaders of that era,

As someone who actually remembers the miners strike, the binmen strike, the fire strike, the rail workers sleeping all night shift and taking the piss

all you thatcher knockers can well and truly get fucked

Just my opinion - now can we get back to football

It cost less to bring it from Brazil by boat than digging it out of the ground in Yorkshire just before the strike

Dont agree with this. Yes there is a liberal supply of fuckwits on Sky, BT Sport, Talksport, etc. But I saw us showered with praise after we won the title - Match of the Day for one.

When the shit hits the fan, and the writing is writ large on the wall, the people who don't verbalise how we won the title will just look like a bunch of sour-Dipper loving muppets, and who, not even Danny Murphy, would want to adopt a stance that stares reality in the face and sez Fuck you, Reality, we wuz robbed!

Because of the political voting system of first past the post in Britain, thatcher knew she only needed to look after 51% of the population. That's why she is such a divisive figure. Fuck the miners , steelworkers, unemployed, sick etc. She didn't need their vote once she could throw crumbs at the lower middle class and get them voting she was onto a winner

As a statement of political belief, this is fine. However the reality is far more nuanced. For example, during her tenure NHS spending more than doubled. At a time of high inflation, A REAL TERMS INCREASE OF OVER 40% was achieved.

Scargill was an idiot. He was completely played by Thatcher who spent the winter of 1983 stockpiling coal. She completely rope-a-doped him. The legacy, I’m afraid, is former mining towns and villages, that were thriving 40 years ago, being among the most deprived areas of the kingdom now, so no winners, really.
