I didn't like the women but I certainly wouldn't rejoice at her passing. My dad, god rest his soul, hated the women. I remember being in my teens and every time he saw her on tv, his blood boiled. I guess you do follow your parents beliefs, but from what I remember, she made it fairly hard for most working class families. Now, I'm not just talking people who got benefits etc I'm talking about the average working man or woman, like my parents. Hard working, never had any benefits of any sort, but still struggled.
If I tried to sell you your own car, what would you say to me ? You'd tell me where to go, but she privatised a number of companies that were already state owned. Who benefited from that ? People who had money and could buy the shares in the first place. Unfortunately, that wasn't my family. If the government said to you now, we're going to privatise RBS you'd rightly tell them to go away as you already own a part of it.
As for the miners, she f**cked them big time. Yes the unions had too much power at that time, but she turned that screw so tight she made it very hard for a number of families for a year. These were ordinary people that had no choice but to go with what their union said because the alternative was unbearable. These families had no money, no income and no form of supporting themselves for over 12 months. The government put that pressure on them because they wanted to make a point with the unions. How is that acceptable in a civilised society ?
Finally, Hillsborough (as in the football disaster), she was part of the cover up for that and it's caused pain and anguish to a number of families for 24 years and for that alone she will never be forgiven. Please dont anyone say that she wouldn't know about the cover up as you seriously can't believe that the prime minister didn't know what the south yorkshire police were up to when she had been in bed with them a few years previously kicking the sh1t out of the miners.
