That's one of a number of reasons why I hold her in utter contempt. To quote my mother on the phone just now: may God have more compassion for her than she ever had for the people whose lives she destroyed.
    If it had not been for her many more people would have died of poverty. Our indulgence with socialism is what destroyed the lives of so many exacerbated by the evil of the Trade Unions.

    I would wager that your problem with her is born from mysogyny rather than any rational attempt to properly analyse her contribution to this coiuntry

                  Argue what? You called me a misogynist, but you've offered nothing to stand up the accusation. Calling me names is not making a case.

                    in 1979 I was working as a personnel officer (before HT was invented) in a small engineering company in Wembley where lots of ugandan asians worked - they were the best engineers and deserved a hell of a lot better treatment than they got, but now their sons are running the local economy. I remember having to go to the Accounts Manager and tell him he wasnt allowed to operate a colour bar. In the end he had to employ indian staff as the locals just weren't good enough. The company went to the wall some time in the 80s.

                      About the same time as Grunwick - didn't that have something to do with Indians?
