You seem so anti-Thatcher I'm just interested in why
According to statistics only 39% of union members voted for Labour in the 1983 general election.
History tells us it was not a one way street. The unions also have a negative contribution as I recall.
That's my recollection anyways.
I lost a lot of money during those times and also a lot of respect for the unions.
Just my opnion.
