Andrew have you ever been made redundant?

Maybe when you have experienced the feeling of worthlessness that the experience brings, not to mention the worry of how you will provide for your family. Then you can start to lecture us on how good Thatcher's decisions were.
It is all well and good reading books and going to lectures about what happened under Thatcher. But there are many of us who know what long term devastation the evil woman has made to society.

She didn't concentrate enough on society no. Would you prefer if the pits remained open at the expense of the tax payer?
