    They won't. * the grey vote with their pension fiasco plus the energy crisis.

    As a 40 year old man, I can't remember my old man speaking so horrendously about anyone.

    I literally had to leave home, family and friends to come to engerland to find work at 17 as thatcher and her vegetables cabinet punished Scotland for voting Labour, Frankie Boyle was spot on as usual when he said there was no need to waste all that money on a state funeral , instead if they'd given the people of Scotland spades picks we'd have dug the hole deep enough to deliver thatcher personally to the devil

    I think a lot of what happened under Thatcher, good and bad, would have almost inevitably happened anyway. She accelerated the change in far too blunt a manner which punished too many people that deserved more help from the government. But she also helped a lot of people in the early years break through the old class system, and people forget just how broke Briarin was in 1979. By her later years she was a nut case though - lost all sense of perspective.

    And if we still had mining today the left would be super glueing their faces to the coalface to try and get them closed. An environmentalist ahead of her time :50:

    I can still remember when I was a very wee guy in the 80s and I'd be in ma da's work van. She used to come on the radio and he'd go ape-*, shouting and cursing her to high heaven

    "They should put her doon a mine and close it on top of her....."

    "They should have took her to the * Falklands and left her there....."

    I remember it all. A lot of people hated her beyond belief. And for good reason

    My good pal's family are from Fallin near Stirling. A right inbred hun hole but also a coal mining village that suffered greatly when she was at war with the miners.

    His auld mother told me that after the IRA missed her by a baw hair at that hotel....it came on the news at the pub in Fallin and it went silent. Nobody knew what to do....they hated her and the IRA as much as each other. She says you could tell some folk we're raging that she'd survived but kept quiet cause they couldn't be seen to be supporting the Ra'. Confusing times it must have been
