Prime Minister says Ibrox is the best in Britain

[cuellarsbraces]

Everything Scargill said came true. Mass pit closures mass unemployment . This while Maggie gave huge subsidies to Nuclear. Now we cannae get rid of Nulclear. Your right I'm not very bright but a bit brighter than you.

James Callaghan closed more pits that Thatcher ever did.

PS I have no love of Thatcher, anyone who turns a blind eye to noncery and has that disgusting piece of excrement - Saville as her entourage deserves no adulation.

 

[bluestreak]

I find Bluestreak’s retort quite confusing.
Is he suggesting that when we “rent” it should be that the end result is that we get to own?
Seems quite a leap as a socialist policy.

Not so my point is, workers were well overcharged to rent the houses.

Would that have been National Government who set the charges for rent and rates?
Where did these revenues go?
Genuine questions here.

He was also the first one to charge for prescriptions

Local Government set the rent and rates, meant to pay for local services

No local authorities, but like now councils are funded by Govt, keep them short of funds, rent and rates go up, as to where it goes local services,but most in the various quangos contained therein.Id like to add I never got to buy a council house.

Jeest brighter than a two watt bulb you are, so ah heard.

 

[Robert Marshall]

Who put an end to the right to buy scheme?

Sturgeon in Scotland, after her parents bought their council house

 

[Robert Marshall]

That's why there was a large uptake in buying them and why Thatcher gave them the opportunity.
It is so hypocritical for people who used their right to buy criticising Thatcher.
Principles are not just a clothes shop

 

[bluestreak]

Who put an end to the right to buy scheme?

Yes and right to do so

 

[tazzabear]

Yes and right to do so

Question was “who?”

You’ll be aware that the previous administration to Thatcher, a Labour administration, closed more pits than the Conservative Governments that followed!

 

[tazzabear]

Wait until work is carried out on The Brox after years of neglect, it'll be like a Palace.

Where?

 

[bluestreak]

Question was “who?”

Scottish Govt, but not certain

 

[J Spaceman]

I didn't realise Theresa May had been to Ibrox.

At least the good thing about threads like these is that they're a proper open goal for the ignore list.

Difference between shutting some pits and shutting down a complete industry.

 

[billyritchieshireblue]

Where?

What does this mean will be like a palace ?

 

[Robert Marshall]

We should honour the great lady by renaming the Broomloan or the Copland as The Thatcher Stand.

Put your rod away

 

[Drumchapel]

2 magnificent b*stards

Same hairdresser

why don't you go on to Google or whatever it is called and look up The Winter of Discontent and the part your beloved trade Unions played in it?

I’m trying to find out where the palace is going to be.
What stadium is being done up.

 

[sportssocks]

Stuart Munro looks less than impressed in one of the photos.

Stuart Munro’s face in the photo! He couldn’t give two hoots about any of this.

True true but Nisbett looks happy to meet her?

Mark Walters looking respectful Campbell Olgavie very happy this was a big deal back then

Surprised no one's shopped this yet (I really liked Stuart Munro as a player!) Remember, this was the rave generation

I know I was confused too by what the poster meant tazza

No time.....to busy working....you know the score....minimum wage...zero hour contract....it's a bastard. If only we had the balls to stand up to these people. Have us working for nothing shortly.

Minimum wage should be £10 per hour, I am a Tory with a conscience ( Although the present ones are spineless )

 

[Bumplittledipper]

The Americans were offered Ravenscraig fr nothing ans an open cheque to keep it open for five years.
They refused citing the workers were too lazy.
Tell me one industry she closed that was making money ?
She made, in my opinion, a few mistakes, but that was not one of them.

As she was forced into shutting down coal mines we were having to import coal from Poland as our own was too expensive.

Agree....feel sorry for the younger folks nowadays. I've been relatively lucky throughout my working life.

 

[Thesuperger]

Get this to %^*&. Despite her well known abhorrent decisions. She was also complicit in the paedophile ring at the time. She was well aware of it and said nothing. Cretin.

Agreed!!!!
