"Maggie Thatcher gawd bless her.

Don't talk to me about unions, did the country a bloody favour she did. Got rid of all those communist Yorkshiremen poluting our great British coal industry.

Arthur Scargill? ARTHUR SCARGILL??? She should've sent him off to the Kremlin, or better still Siberia. Wouldn't come back here moaning about the working conditions of yer actual miners then , oh no. Be bloody grateful he had a job and some food on the table then would'nt he. O' course your gonna get dirty in the mines, I'm not saying you ain't, I mean, it's a dirty place 'un it? But just 'cos they come up covered in soot don't mean they've been bloody working down there does it? Probably sit down there playing crib 'til that whistle goes off. Then, THEN...they go down the pub don't they?

Bloody miners.....
Bloody unions.....
Bloody Arthur Scargill....



"Maggie Thatcher the milk snatcher" they used to call her. Doing all those kids a favour she was. I mean, all that bacteria stands to reason don't it. Not to mention all them lovely litttle kids getting fat drinking taxpayers milk, greedy little gits!!

Bloody greedy kids.....

I have a feeling that history will treat Maggie a lot more kindly than say, for example, GW.
