YOU FORGOT PRIME MINISTER STEPHEN HARPER, EH?!

You forgot a PM, guy.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Margret Thatcher - The worst PM This country has ever had. Messed the country up with all her changes. (Mostly for the poor)

Quotes like this make me laugh, from kids who have been brought up to believe in socialist hate against the Conservatives and Margaret Thatcher.

I don't know if you knew what this country was like during the 1970's but i'll give you some information.

• High Unemployment
• Collapse of British world influence
• Unions controlling the 'democratic' government
• Britain bankrupt, had to borrow from the IMF
• Socialism rife, people sympathetic to the soviets in positions of power.

The election of Thatcher in 1979 was the people standing up and finally saying enough is enough. The campaign posters from the time sum it up;



A country riddled in debt, industries needing government money just to survive and not making profit, declining influence and a dangerous rise of socialism and communism led to the election of Thatcher.

What did she do? - she took the unions head on, along with the EU and secured a rebate which ment we got a lot of money back which we poured into the EU (Blair later surrendered this).

Union power was cut, they didn't like it and went on strike, anyone who didn't go along with the strikes were called scabs, bullied and victimised. The majority of the strikers were socialist unionists using the mines as a cover to behave like third world warriors.

The leader of the Union of mineworkers at the time, the man who organised all the riots to try and bring down the Thatcher government was Arthur Scargill.

What political alliances did Arthur Scargill have?
Socialist Labour Party (UK)
Communist Party of Great Britain

So in future, before people have a go at the Prime Minister who turned this country around before it fell on its face, maybe have a read and take a while to study its history. I did and I came to the correct conclusion. If we didnt have Thatcher, we would be very different country in a serious situation.

The economic boom that we and the world have saw under Labour wasn't the product of New Labour and Tony Blair/Gordon Brown - it was Thatcherism. A brand of growth and prosperity her and Ronald Reagan brought to the world, and in that we have seen many lifted out of poverty and more money availble to each family to spend on holidays and so on.

The collapse, well it would ultimatley come just as another boom will (the rules of capitalism), however this Labour Government like others did not save up for the rainy day, which means at this point in time - we are very close to having to appeal to the IMF as our country is gathering so much debt.
