In 1979, when Thatcher came to power, there were just 219. So Labour closed 326 mines, which is twice as many as closed under Thatcher.Juan King said:nimrod said:Evil my arse..
Your arse then? Because she was a cnut. Anyone who knows anyone who was a miner in the 80's would agree.
Is it better to be thrown on the scrapheap by Labour than by Tories then?
yeah lets not mention what Labour did eh, just jump on the Thacher hate bandwaggon, cos she closed a few pits as well

Blunkett, what a tosser - just quoted Spitting Image, but didn't have the good grace to even give them the credit.

I'm not a Tory and she made little difference to me one way or the other to be honest. By the time she went, she'd become a parody of herself and I was glad to see the back of her. But I'm sick of all the inaccurate myths being trotted out to justify people's hatred of her.Juan King said:Prestwich_Blue said:And what about the miners in the pits shut down under Labour in the 1960's & 70's?

Neither mate. You are abviously a Tory, so fair play to you. Thatcher did more harm to where I live than any good that she ever did. In my mind she was a cnut. If she helped you, then fair does, but I hate her.

He's actually coming across quite well and talking a lot of sense, as is Ming Campbell.Gaylord du Bois said:How can anyone not like Ken Clarke?
