That is so evident from our own lot! They are at each others throats in parliament time, slagging off each others policies!! And, then you have Miliband brown nosing as to how wonderful the bitch was + he is still taking advice from Bliar!!!!

The bottom line being is that they are all the same.... a bit like "Shell" and "B.P", but they all have the same aim, and want your/my cash - and that is what it is ALL about.

A good politician would look at a problem area, like a declining industry, evaluate the problem and attempt to repair and rebuild it.

With Britain's industry Thatcher simply closed them down, throwing millions out of work and destroying communities.

That's why we're a nation that sits atop hundreds of years of coal reserves which we can't use, while being held to ransom by Russian fuel oligarchs.

Privatisation of energy didn't create a competitive market, but a cartel which has generated unprecedented double digit tariff increases and vastly increased fuel poverty.

And then there's unemployment deliberately created by Thatcher, which successive Tory governments have replicated, to increase job insecurity and drive down wages, while profits and bonuses for the already rich are allowed to soar.

Thatcher's funeral is the establishment telling the herd that it is in control.

Good point - to celebrate the death thousands of people who despise her will pay 79p to huge media corporations.

We will never know? It was his fault notts miners didn't strike,I seem to remember,if he had let them have there ballot they would all have come out on strike,bringing down the government.he got it very wrong in my opinion.

The trade unions and the Labour Party... failed miserably. Instead of giving concrete support, and calling upon workers to take industrial action, they did nothing.

Hear, hear!!!

Maggie played Arthur like the gambit pawn that he was.

An extract from a biography of Scargill reads, 'Arthur Scargill, the son and grandson of coal miners, was born in Worsborough, South Yorkshire, in 1938. The house in which he was born and in which he lived for his first three years had neither plumbing nor electricity. In time he and his family moved to a more comfortable, modern home in the town where he grew up.

Scargill was an only child, and his parents, Harold and Alice, doted on him. His father was a loyal member of the Communist Party, and The Daily Worker was read regularly in the Scargill household. As a boy Scargill read of starvation and injustice in such books as The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and of the courage and nobility of the revolutionary working classes in Twelve Months in Hell.'

Yes, I'm going to London on Wednesday as a mark of respect for the Baroness.

But my day was truly made yesterday when I was reading about the great Lady and discovered to my total amazement and great joy that my grandson has the same birthday as the Baroness.

Both were born on 13th October, my grandson in 2012 and the great Lady in 1926.

And that really made my day, because on every birthday that my grandson celebrates, I will toast his and then the great Lady Baroness too!!
