O/T The Price Of Coal 1977 BBC Drama

[animallittle3]

There’s a theme developing in respect of the past, Thatcher will be retrospectively blamed for everything that goes wrong in Barnsley.

I put it down to education

That's exactly the type of comment I'd expect from someone with your avatar .

Education you say , the high end education system that breeds idiots like Cameron and Johnson you mean .

Many kids around these parts were educated under the Thatcher government sharing five to one text book , rain water coming in to the classrooms and buckets dotted about to collect it , paint was peeling off the walls due to the damp .

For every person she made wealthy she made two people poorer as a consequence .

She wasn't that bright herself in reality , only an idiot would have thought the poll tax was a winner .

She did bring in the right to buy ask Arthur he tried to by the NUM flat in London & failed again.

Animal, fully respect your right to be a commie, but your last comment about my avatar is typical of being non thinking socialist posts.

So your response to a post in which the observation is made that you always blame Thatcher is to blame Thatcher.

Kids in your your parts where educated in schools run by a Local Education Authority. that had been run by Labour since its inception.

For every person she made wealthy she made two people poorer as a consequence.
- is that assertion based on research or just a piece of political hyperbole? And where does it leave Labour? Every period of Labour government has ended with higher levels of unemployment than when it began. What did that do to levels of poverty? The current Labour leadership are proposing policies that will destroy jobs en masse - the most recent being the 10% asset seizure - and you Momentum boys lap it up.

respectable academic research repeatedly slams this claim as a distortion of reality. In May 2017 Martin Williams for Channel 4 FactCheck considered the performance of the economy under Labour and Conservative and concluded inter alia:
"It is fair to say GDP was generally better under Labour...up until the financial crisis."
"Statistically the Conservatives have presided over a far slower growth in earnings than Labour, on average."
"Tackling the gender pay gap has stalled under the Conservatives..."
"Labour have a better track record of keeping unemployment levels low...If we look at the figures over a longer time period - back to when Thatcher became prime minister in 1979 - then Labour would undoubtedly have the best record on unemployment..."
Williams also showed Labour invested more per capita in health and education.
But, hey, Kerr won't let this stop him repeating his mantra.
