Yes, I remember the winter of discontent and the 3 day week, we were certainly in better shape then.

Grandad,

I remember it well, and was directly financlally affected! Having said that - you need an organisation that is able to challenge Big Business/Governments, otherwise we will continue to be financially suppressed, and living through recession after recession caused by the greed from the top. Remember this - the wealth gap between those that have, and those that do not........is wider than ever - why do you think that happened?

John your right the Unions are of course necessary but "evil" definitely not, and the winter of discontent was all about the Labour Party at that time being infiltrated by that eras version of BLIAR Callaghan a right no good pillock!

Funnily enough i had no difficulty identifying exactly what BLIAR was when many sycophants in the party worshipped at his altar.

The country will always be a better place to live in when the Unions are powerful , at tyhe moment its being raped and pillaged and its predicted 200 pensioners a day will either starve or freeze to death this coming winter something no LEFT wing Labour government would allow!

Could you please provide some figures of how many pensioners died each day either by starving or freezing each year for the last 60 years so that we can see if the figures were any different under previous governments?

First and foremost it is a "Prediction" (fortunately not a fact), "Secondly" we have never been in the grip of the "Power" companies like we are now - so, there will be no data related to your question.

Were we not in the grip of the unions in the 70s which resulted in the 3 day week and power cuts? How many pensioners died because of this action?

The 3 day week was imposed by Ted Heath seem to remember he was a Tory and the power cuts were limited to 6 hours per session

Then he went for an election and got his arse kicked Which led eventually to that toss pot Callaghan after Wilson did a bunk Then along came the evil orre Thatcher whose legacy were all still reaping Privatised everything rip off Britain

Grandad how many deaths a week would you find acceptable in 2013/14 ?????????
