God I miss Scargill and Kinnock and Thatcher
Jump to: Newest in thread
It was the decade that saw the end of major manufacturing and heavy industry. Thatcher destroyed so many communities most of which never really recovered. She has also been the one who planted the seeds of nationalism that is tearing the Uk apart.
But as her supporters got rich and displayed the empathy for which they are renowned it led to her being reviled in half and lauded in the other half of the Uk  |

The unions destroyed the coal industry not MT,she saved the uk car industry from.red robbo and his mates by getting the Japanese companies to come here and drag the whole industry into the 20th century.
There is very little nationalism in the UK especially england, look at how we celebrate st George's day compared to the others in the UK and the rest of the world, go to the states and see how they believe in their country. Nationalism is just an insult chucked out by people who didnt want brexit |

The movers were a belligerent lot as were the car workers. They needed bringing into line but also the manager of both was atrocious.
MT planned to get revenge on the miners even before she came to power. Her and Tebbitt planned their downfall.
Scargill was too stupid to see the trap they had laid.
The country needed change which I welcomed but she went too far with backing banking and services over industry. We lost a huge skilled workforce. It’s why we now import so much and make so much less.

I don't miss Thatcher, Kinnock was a nice guy but was never really up to running a party, I could never take Scargill seriously with that dodgy comb over. I don't miss the 80s its when everything started to go wrong & why this country is in the mess its in now. |

I personally thought the unions at the time got too political and forgot their core aim to protect workers rights and jobs. Striking constantly was never going to do that. I personally had regular run ins with un-sackable dockers so know how stupid it got.
I’m not saying all unions are bad as they most certainly aren’t. I think U.K. management skills were appalling on top of some belligerent unions.
The English disease brought us to our knees.
But the horrific lack of investment in long term industries as no infrastructure is now why we are so less powerful as an economic force. |

Would agree with that but we are still the 9th biggest manufacturing country in the world, of course that's tiny against china but we can and must do better.
I think perhaps we should be like a few other countries and limit anyone doing more than two terms as pm, they all get tired and lose their focus |

We are right now but look at the rest of the world and we keep slipping back
Our roads and rail lines are a joke. The vanity project of HS2 could have been better spent on upgrading local rail, and roads
Infrastructure is key to a better economy and for at least 50 years we have failed to invest all the road tax. Now we are creaking along. |

Did you not feel the adrenaline from a Scargill speech? Kinnock had some rip roaring conferences. The lady wasn’t for turning.
They were great times with proper political heavyweights. |

Congratulations! English and Irish people were chanting sectarian slogans at a football game.
What YOU said was 'you have obviously never been to an England football match'. Your premise was that everyone that attends England games was racist...and that's obvious bullshit. That's not to say that some racists never go to England games. I would say that a very tiny minority are knuckle dragging racists but the massive majority are not. Your media may convince you otherwise though. |

I never said that all England’s fans are racist, but lets be honest, the English have a bad reputation for hooligans, far right groups attending games and racism (which is on the increase again) . I have witnessed this first hand and although the vast majority are well behaved football fans it is the scum that ruin it |

Remind me about the battle of Wembley, will you tar the whole Scottish nation with the same brush as a few idiots.
No, when was that?
1977
Right, have you heard of the
EDL
National Front
Britain First
England first party
National Action
The British Hand
Etc etc
What percentage of the uk population support their ideals?
I'm a very proud uk citizen, we have done an enormous amount of good in the world, we have often led the world in scientific discoveries, we have a huge number of different nationalities living in harmony, it's a shame you are ashamed of that.
Of course over the years we have done a few things we arent proud of.
I have no idea, you are obviously missing my point, I am not criticising nationalism I am pointing out that unfortunately it has been hijacked by racists and far right groups . "
The same as BLM being hijacked by the far left as well |

There were certainly some managers that took the easy route rather than take on the unions and in the public sector there are still many useless ones, K always says in her experience of a lifetime in the nhs they just promote the worse out of the way.
The big car companies, steel businesses werent "owned" by any sleazy owners nor were the mines so you are well wide of the mark.
I believe that unions are needed and can be a force for good, I also believe that there are some very poor managers about. However in the 70's the unions seemed more intent on destroying businesses not working with them to the benefit of everyone. |

The unions in the 70s were dealing with mine owners and not just the NCB who were still using machinery from the turn of the century. The deaths toll and conditions leading to the premature deaths from inhaling coal dust and asbestos were a disgrace, The same on the shipyards ...so you tell me if delaying a health and safety case till the complainent has died is not the work of a sleazy owner ?....With no trades unions we would still be in the dark ages, Thatcher is lauded as some kind of heroine for curbing union power.This has now given us the gig economy and other zero hour type employment....It is a disgrace and makes me wonder how foolish some are who fall for the unions were destroying the country drivel.....Oh of course that line was peddled by the Tories and the well know socialist Rupert Murdoch. A plague on both their houses i say |

from 1947 when the mines were nationalised labour shut more per year they were in power than the tories.
Health and safety in mining improved over time, but again both parties could have done more, UK kids wont pick fruit these days so doubt many would want to work in a coal mine.
