Before Margret (grim reaper) Thatcher we had a world beating steel Industry, The cheapest unsubsidised deep mined coal, Cheap electricity,cheap gas, and cheap water all owned by the British people as a nation. North sea gas and oil were in state ownership and owned by us as a Nation.
Now all of or main vital requirements are mainly held by other countries and we are held to ransom. We were told by thatcher that Nationalised Industries didn't pay. But the first things that she sold off were Electricity and Gas that were making huge profits. These profits offset any losses made by the other nationalised Industries and they belonged to us.
If I had a partner in a Business and I told him that I was selling off the business but he could have a few measly shares if he was quick enough and had enough money but he would have to let me keep the rest of the profits of the sale. Then I am sure the other partner would have a criminal case against me. That is what the thatcher Government did and it was legalised corruption.
She put people out of work who were too old to get jobs anywhere else and most never worked again. We picked up the bill to pay for them. Thatcher, Like Blair who came after were not interested in the people of this country because she owned property abroad and if it got too bad here she could have always have moved. She lined the pockets of all of her family and friends and in the end she was a disaster to the working man of this country.
Her chickens are coming home to roost now as all the assets that have been sold off are starting to affect the world economy as well as our own. We only survive by virtue of the highest ever taxes on the lower paid. A man working in London on just above the minimum wage has to work the first two hrs to pay for his transport costs, the next 2 hrs to pay his tax and insurance and the next two hrs to pay council tax car tax etc. The two hours pay he has left to spend he has to pay VAT at 17.5%.
I really loathe Maggie and her legacy, she destroyed our country(s).
