She may have got some money back, so what, it's bad enough she ignored those she made jobless, homeless and future less without bringing in the sale of everything we already owned back to us and the huge job losses that caused and the sale of social housing without a care for those who had no chance of home ownership.
Respect? She didn't know the meaning of the word.
Oh yeah and my pensions fucked beacuse of the bitch and I've got to pay for her funeral and be happy about it?
I'd offer to buy a gallon of petrol to chuck over her but I can't afford it.
Sounds a bit like the sour grapes of a 'job-for-lifer' to me.
Selling BT was a GOOD thing for the country.
It's not sour grapes, it's working hard at an apprenticeship, passing college and going on to take an HND only to find the opportunity that you were promised is now taken away and you can have some shit job working on a poxy exchange and then a few months later be told that the exchange is closing and you are no longer required
So fuck off with your presumptions.
Selling BT was not a good thing, we already owned it, how would you like it if I took your bike away then offered to sell it back to you?
What about selling all the other nationalised industries that provided jobs for UK people? All the privatised industries that were supposed to promote competition and better value for money are charging inflated prices and all that money goes straight out of the UK to their overseas based offices, admin and call centers.
Well, it always sucks when you work hard for something and you lose out through no fault of your own, but whoever said that we were owed anything in life, even if we work for it? You've most likely had a better life than you would have done than if you'd been born 200 years ago for instance, so it isn't all doom and gloom.
Thanks for letting me know where I can go with my presumptions. Perhaps I'll find you there with your ego?
The money from privatisation got us out of a lot of debt. I personally disagree with with the right to buy stuff, but you could do that before Maggie anyway. State monopolies had to go, it's the way of the world.
You might think it's bad here, but I've just come back from trying to live in North Wales, it's a lot worse there - and that's a lot to do with peoples' attitudes as much as anything else. If your attitude sucks, then you'll find fault with anything.
If you have a good attitude then you can find opportunities all over the place that you would otherwise not see for crying into your ale.
Guess which kind I'm presuming you have
