I know.
I think he betrayed voters like my Grandad.
Her, on the other hand, well, she did exactly what she was supposed to do.
If you're a selfish unfeeling cunt who has two houses, 'family money' and a belief that every vulnerable/poor/unfortunate person deserves their lot in life, then she looked after you good and proper and made sure the needy were suitably punished for their existence.

Sorry, I forgot 14.1 Million people were exactly like this "family money" person described.
That's how may voted Tory in 92 ( and 13.8 Million in 87), a number that still stands as a record for any party.
That would include my mother, who was brought up in a state of absolute (yes ,not just relative) poverty in the 60's. She nearly died several times through out her childhood due to having no heating in her council house. She often starved and never got any Christmas presents and new clothes. She failed her 11+ and stared work at 14. They never had a TV, just a wireless+ small record player.
Yeah, she was fucking loaded!
When Thatcher came along, she brought a house, got a car, went on foreign holidays,worked hard, and never struggled again.
Similar for my dad, plus he was an immigrant who barely spoke any English.

Major was elected in 92.
Not Thatcher.

And if your mum was Northern and voted Tory then she was an idiot.

Haha shut up you knob.
Tits like your mother voting for Thatcher because they think it will make them all 'posh', and so they can buy the shitty council house they nearly died in, need shooting.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 22:54, Reply)

This.
100% this.

Thatcher destroyed northern, Welsh, midland and Scottish communities with her slash and burn economic policies. If your mum voted Tory then she supported that, and she supported exactly the same kind of conditions she was raised in.

Not you Roota. Titboy up there.

Blaming Thatcher for the decline of industry is like blaming a nurse for a death
cause she switched off life support. Everything had been done to save it beforehand.

So your story is that your mum happened to reach her early twenties or so in 1979?
Fascinating political insight there.

Thanks.

Blimey.
I wish I'd got a job and worked when I was in my early twenties, just like every fucker else.

Correlation =/= causation, as titboy should know.

I have to assume that if the nation had carried on as it was.
Her living standards would have been pretty poor.
