    <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;TABLE border="1"&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;And this is where I agree with Welsh Goddess's excellent post. The Unions have done an enormous amount of good in the past - they were absolutely necessary when the workforce was bullied and downtrodden. However, they then became the bullies. Growing up in S Wales, my Dad was a Steelworker. People were forced into joining the Unions, they had little choice, it was compulsory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;At that time of the strikes, he knew he couldn't afford to take part, but had to. The steelworkers were on strike for months (as were the miners). The mortgage and hire purchase companies had little sympathy, our car was repossessed and we ended up having to sell our house at way below the market value because he couldn't keep up the mortgage payments. I can remember my Dad watching his car being driven away, trying to contain his sobs. That memory will never leave me, and that was just the start of it. This was the power of the Unions, doing this. You couldn't break the strike, no matter what your financial situation. Our family were not the only ones,&amp;nbsp;people committed suicide over&amp;nbsp;similar situations. And yes, as someone also said above, blocks of stone were thrown from motorway bridges by militant striking miners. It was a horrible, horrible time. But I still am of the opinion that the Unions were holding the entire country to ransom and they were to blame for a lot of the bloodshed and heartache of that time. I actually belonged to the Socialist Worker's Party at the time, and was on our Union Committee. I changed my mind!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Sorry to hear. I’m sure there are many similar stories.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Just wondering, as I don’t live in South Wales, is the general view from local steelworkers and guys from around the pits nowadays that the Unions in the 80s were the Spawn of Satan and Thatcher’s policies were not particularly relevant? Because I’m not sure these guys would quite share that narrative:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="MsoNormal"&gt;http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/forum/read.php?14,51427,page=1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="MsoNormal"&gt;I agree with you on how militant &lt;I&gt;some&lt;/I&gt; unions became. I guess niceties went a bit out the window with leftie infighting and lacking leadership, compounded by the fact that many communities were facing entire economic devastation. All whilst Thatcher and some Union Leaders were deciding to use sledgehammers to crack walnuts in some instances. &lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;But I think it’s a bit more complex than simply reducing the “blame” to focus solely down to “the unions” or other “Trots” – as some people and outlets seem to be doing. Desperate people do desperate in things in desperate situations, and sections of the police in the 80s resembled something like a &lt;A href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/apr/08/margaret-thatcher-death-orgreave-coal-miners"&gt;rogue paramilitary wing of the Conservative Party&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="MsoNormal"&gt;The end game was always going to be the same; it was only a case of timescale - it was inevitable the coal and steel industries were going to end up on the scrapheap – especially when competing with other countries that were still subsidising primary industries. Whether Unions were around or not, the very areas affected were always destined to become Ghost Towns or approaching third world sweatshops – especially with Thatcher’s appointment of Ian Macgregor (red rag to a bully). The miners had seen what he did to steel and knew the same would happen to coal. &lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;It wasn’t the unions who ordered the closures or cut subsidies. It was all or nothing. And as I previously mentioned, the absence of any regeneration funding or subsidies via the North Sea oil boom to cushion closures is the vindictive “bullying” part imo.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;But maybe not quite as bad as &lt;A href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/304516.stm"&gt;Thatcher’s defence of a scumbag&lt;/A&gt; who had a policy of *&lt;A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_government_of_Chile_%281973%E2%80%931990%29"&gt;disappearing" tens and thousands of people and throwing pregnant women out of planes&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="MsoNormal"&gt;The sad and troubling thing is, Thatcher’s unpopularity spiked publicly and "within" during the Brixton riots in 81 and the poll tax riots in 90 - if the striking miners and steelworkers had rioted en-masse in London instead of withdrawing their labour at great hardship to themselves and families, they’d probably have brought down Thatcher much sooner.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="MsoNormal"&gt;Think this is a very fitting tribute to Thatcherism in more ways than one:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;I don't celebrate her passing, she was someone mother and grandmother, and her family will miss her. I feel for them the way I feel for anyone that has lost a loved one.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;I do remember the sense of Nation during the falklands confilct, and the set of balls she showed then. As a nation, the whole country was proud then.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;But, I did disagree with many of her policies, some of which we are still suffering the consequences of even now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Not much I can add to post 3, just to reinforce&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;She sent others into an unneccesary conflict and death to save her own political life. &lt;BR /&gt;Without that, she would have likely been ousted, and confined to&amp;nbsp; history at a much earlier stage.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Her tenure and beyond helped foster a more &lt;EM&gt;paranoid, divided, mean-spirited nation, full of resentment, envy, greed and distrust. Racist, selfish, inhumane and tragically too stupid to see we are now nothing but turkeys lining up to continually vote for Christmas.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Looney lefties looks like your fav saying now sir art ,and its a bit nasty calling people who don't agree with the party of your choice names&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:"&gt;😉&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;She did nothing for this country except set up a complete takeover by the party that destroyed what was left, that in turn set up this hateful lot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;She was admired for her strong stance and hated for everything else she participated in...ie arms deals for 10% in her household pockets out of tax pot (disregarding the immense death toll this caused in african states) set up and promoted tobacco&amp;nbsp;industries in india that along with addiction created a child blinding industry thats still being fought today etc...she set the politics in motion that caused greed to motivate it showed others that it's easy to steal&amp;nbsp;of a populous and most importantly helped shareholders get the foot in the door of tax payers money and use&amp;nbsp;advertising willy nilly for self profit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;To not agree with post 3 and like her values must make you a firm believer that money makes you a better person who should have more rights than someone without and if so...pls avoid a trip on a large boat as it will hit an iceberg and sink&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;We can argue all we want regarding Thatcher but a few facts to spring to mind.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;The Miners strike was ruled by judges as ilegall if Scargill hadnt have been so war hungry for conflict with MT and held a proper legal ballot the chances are all the miners would have come out as one unit and the results could have been so much different!.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Scargill btw up until recently till he lost his case was still getting 34k a year rent for a London flat paid for by the few remaining NUM members.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Check out Tory Blairs net worth now compared to what Thatchers was,i know whos screwed the country most for personal gain.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Imho there arent many straight politicians but one major thing Thatcher did was go out on a limb and not try to butter things up like PMs since have done.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;now tony bliars gov did indeed take much more but thatcher set that way of politics in motion bliar and co should be in prison...thatchers cohorts are still cashing in today and have bled more than labour to offshore accounts thats&amp;nbsp;inexcusable yet excused...thatcher wins the who can rob a tax payer best comp hands down.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;And scargill was indeed the reason the minors lost.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Clearly History hasn't made it's way over to Sheppey yet, but then who can blame it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

      <description>&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;It's ironic how Thatcherites today keep harping on about the value of "hard work".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;P class="mce-p"&gt;Yet it is Thatcher's legacy and that ensured people who do the "hard work" are shafted, and the people who play the metaphorical fruit machines are laughing all the way to the bank (usually in the Cayman Islands).&lt;/P&gt;</description>
