I have absolutely no problem with contractors making money. I have no problem with them being incompetent greedy or selfish (Spod is one of my best friends

I do not have any problem with the family of a coal miner hating Thatcher for destroying their "communities" (although I would argue they are blaming the messenger and not those at the heart of the problem - Neil Kinnock understands this).
Contractors are no more stupid than any other well educated member of the professional classes with one or two exceptions
ten to a penny they are more interesting, more honest than recruitment agents
What I cannot abide is the hypocrisy where I see lavishly paid contractors who are direct beneficiaries of Thatcherism, who are no more than harbingers of job losses pouring bile and hatred on the woman that saw through the policies that enriched over 250,000 contractors.
Yes of course there were contractors before her - but these were a pitiful few. And yes it may be argued that the industry would have grown anyway (maybe but nothing like the speed at which it did- if SASguru had his way the whole of British industry- especially related to finance- would still be pushing pencils - at least we would all have jobs.
There are one or two weedling their way out of taking responsibility by saying that they had left the country - why? presumably they could not enrich themselves here so they chased the dollar/mark instead of standing on the picket lines with their miner friends.
It is the Bonoesque (I am filthy rich and care about the poor so much I want to give them other people's money) two faced cowardice that disgusts me.

I know you have a low IQ, but try to think straight.
I can imagine your spittle-flecked lips as you rant away aimlessly like the imbecile that you are.
