I personally cannot remember Thatcher with any great enthusiasm.
Well you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. The whole thing got out of hand, but if you have a business which is not making a profit then it can't be sustained. If I made no money and the taxi trade was dead, I would have to look for alternative employment. Many miners wanted to go back and Scargill conned em all I'm afraid
