Because one crappy little forum with 200 members get a vote of six against one? Wow - you really do have delusions of potency.


She might get a state funeral if the govt. of the day thought it would be good for them, she would be thrown into a ditch if that helped the govt. more.


Fact is she is so near the age/death of HMQ that the powers-that-be are holding everything back until She goes - there will be nothing left to spare for a forgotten politician.

Why were the "union barons" greedy? The strike wasn't about pay - it was about pit closures and the consequent jobs losses.


Also, what other barons are you referring to? The NUM/Scargill were effectively out on their own with no support from the rest of the trade union movement - it was one the reasons why the miners were defeated.

Oh I see... because the DAILY MAIL says that the MAIL ON SUNDAY says it is true, well why didn't you say so straight out? no need to hide the fact. If an august body like the MAIL ON SUNDAY believes it to be the case then I am sure it is.


I mean, a paper with such a fine reputation wouldn't dream of printing such a thing with all the 'a source says' quotes to back it up if there were the slightest doubt. I aoplogise for doubting your word and can only say that the link to your wonderful forum with its distracting voting frenzy of 6 to 1 would have rocked anybody's world, and indeed it clouded the issue slightly when you could have linked directly to the MAIL.


Well you and the MAIL have put 'the haters' firmly in their place haven't you? Good for you, I'm sure she would be proud of you, and I hope your forum goes from strength to strength. I do. Really.

Chippy is spot on there. Scargill had little respect from other union leaders because they could see that he was using the miner's dispute for his own ideological ends. He wanted to defeat Thatcher more than save jobs and in turn she wanted to defeat him and the entire coal industry.


MP is quite right in that there were some profitable pits but it was an era of privatisation. I tend to think that the coal industry was shut down for many reasons...some of the blame for which lay at the feet of the unions and the government equally. The days of tax payer subsidised jobs were coming to an end, the Unions wouldn't accept change. And in addition, the idea of a nationalised industry that wasn't competitive enough to privatise irked the then Thatcher government.

Any website or publication? Bless you Ivydale - there are precious few innocent little souls like you left and we should treasure you while we have the pleasure of your company... though it begs the question what on EARTH you are doing listening to and responding to a cellar dwelling geek like me? I think you've got a little crush dontcha?

Wow!! Margret Thatcher really brings out the worst in some people; I think she will defiantly receive a state funeral be interesting to see the turn out. Will we be having the same conversation in 20 or 30 years time about Tony Blair will he have a state funeral? love him or hate him he was one of the best Labour leaders they have had to date.

She is one of us (you)... ...a Dulwich girl. Does anyone know where she lives exactly? Curious...


She used to live in the Dulwich Village; I don't think she lives there anymore she use to complain about having to drive through awful place called Brixton to get home her words.

She used to own one of the houses (then newly built) in the private gated development on the left as you drive West on South Circular, few yards before junction with College Rd. I think it's called Hambledon Place.


I'm not convinced she actually spent much time living there.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
