[ninianbhoys]

when this fucking bitch who was the devil in disguise finally dies i am going to hold a street party in my street in cardiff.i'll be there i'll be there with my little pick and shovel i'll be there.

@demarch - you sound like a real nice person. Typical Thatcherite. You watch the celebrations - not only here in Wales but all over the UK when the bitch dies!

[tessarozza]

And how much are you all paying for your electricty now eh.

Gas companys had competion when the pits were open, now theres none and they charge what they want.

get used to it, after all we were called scum by this old bag

[tessarozza]

I'll dance on your fucking grave when your gone bitch, 27 years on and now look at your pollices on gas fired power stations = How much are your bills people ?.

The only time I laughed on a picket line was when the ira tried to blow you up, pity they missed.

Wales' greatest enemy....thatnk god she hasn't got long to go!

[Rockaliser]

She talks about the miner's violence, am I the only one who remembers the police mounted units being used like armed cavalry? Or people who were in protests in a none violent capacity getting beaten by the police? We see gordon brown working with the miner's and cameron accusing him of bowing to them if cameron gets in I fear a repitition of the 1980s incidents when he "saves" money in the public sector by costing people their jobs. The private sector does not create jobs, they aim to make money

[Thwacker71]

@Rockaliser And to make more money they need more people, so create more jobs. Then they make more money and create more jobs.

"The private sector does not create jobs, they aim to make money"- The most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.

when is the devil going to die and rot in  hell!!!

[dimgwalltameiben]

I knew a chap who stood the South Wales picket line throughout winter 84/85to protect the livlihoods of men and families not just in his community  ( I remember his rant word 4 word) but throughout our great nation not just for today, not just for tomorrow (sorry if I'm boring you, but this is an abridged version, believe me) but for generations to come. Now, he's actually turned down his coal allowance cos he prefers gas!! Think about it.........

[mycal64]

I was a Welsh soldier in the British infantry during Thatcher's dictatorship and I'd love to have had the chance to bayonet the bitch.

[mycal64]

"UNITED BRITANNIA"??? You just criticised the Welsh for not trying to gain independence (sic) like the Scots. With such blatant idiocy you must be a policy advisor for the Tory party.

[mycal64]

Fucking anti-Christ. Won`t be missed in Wales when she`s gone.

[mycal64]

How can I return to the pits when Thatcher shut them all down, you dopey English prick?

[zarovka]

"violence doesn't pay"?

s funny, I remember the whole Thatcher period as the most violent time I have ever seen in Britain.

Don't suppose she had anything to do with it though..

@gopconservative78 At telling lies.

[gopconservative78]

@123hero321 typical communist union scumbag

[123hero321]

@gopconservative78 I'm sure you where there the day they closed an industry and would not even let men go back to get there tools, I'm sure you where there when lies, damn lies and statistics were used against every honest working family in this country? I am union, but I'm not a scumbag, I just believe in a better future for my workmates and children, they wont be robbed of an industry like I was, one that on closure was turning a profit! the people have had enough again already!

[tucker672]

Great speechby Margaret as usual :D

unfortunate about the decreasing quality of your video's though :(

[UnitedBritannia]

I know - for some reason after uploading the latest two videos became distorted.

I will take a look at it though, and see if I can't fix it.
