Thatcher was viscious and out for revenge against the miners, she didn't care about communities she destroyed many and as for her assistant with his 'get on yer bike' attitude, nah I got on my bike, moved several times attempting to find work, ended up in areas I didn't know and lowe and behold, if you did find work you had to put up with last in first out attitude when she squeezed the last from companies.
