For the first time in years, it was plain to see that the lazy
whingebags in society weren't quite as hard-working as they said

they
were. The unions were ****ing up this country by making unreasonable
demands on employers. Thatcher made sure these people could no

longer
hold the country to ransom. I suppose it must have come as a shock

to
some, when they realised the union-negotiated tea-break was over and
there was work to be done.

Still, you'll be glad to know
that the ****ed up society we now live in is a direct result of

the
Thatcher "me first, **** the rest" policies.


I think you'll find that's more to do with the loony left rewarding

the
lazy and irresponsible through state benefits. My only criticism of
Thatcher was she didn't go far enough. Like most Thatcher critics,

you
confuse individual responsibility with selfishness.


If it weren't for unions, most of us would be working 18 hours a
day, with 1 ****e break, and earn just enough money to afford bread,
water, and a cardboard box to live in.
Of course, sometimes the unions went too far; I'll grant you that.
