Petition against M. THatcher day

[Steve J]

but if a minority can ignore policy decisions

From one of those involved in the programme:
"He was appalled at the prospect of industrial action, especially as Scargill had refused to call a national ballot."

I think this sentences speaks volumes, but then that is just my opinion.

I was only a young lad at the time and I always remember the news about someone had been killed by the pickets, I thought they meant the band the 'flyng pickets'. I was rather confused why a rock band was going around killing people.

Gentlemen

I have just asked the clone responsible for the forums to lock this thread.

It was certainly not my intention to stir up any bad feelings here. Before things get into a direction we all want to avoid I have therefore asked to have this thread locked.

It's what rock has tried to do to music from its inception, isn't it? Why not people too?

Not sure why - I dont sense any bad blood - people are airing opinions and I dont see any keyboard warrior sniping going on. I think this has been one of the healthiest off topic line of posts for quite some time.

Please let it continue. If it gets personal thens the time to self destruct the thread

Agreed

We disagree, we argue, we state our point but it isn't personal

Nosher, get2grips

it is still sporty yet I fear it might get to a point where someone feels insulted hence my plea.

[Techno]

Agreed......Let's keep it like that.

Well all I will say is

Thatcher, Regan and Gorbachov(sorry if I spelt this wrong) DID END THE COLD WAR so we should have a day to all three!!!

You'll have to include our friends the Taliban. They shook up Russian ideas about foreign policy in a big way.

If it means a day off work with pay I'll vote for it

Great find.

  I was born in Hull ,and live in Doncaster,both towns had the guts ripped out of them by Thatchers polices,and the unions stupidity. As my father used to say" To reach the top in politics ,you have to be able to sell your own grandma,give your soul freely to the devil, and stand on anybody to reach the top". So no she should not have a bank holiday named after her,she gave to many an extended holiday when they lost their industries and jobs.
