Filming! Today, I'm filming a short video about Mrs #Thatcher over the course of the 1980s... the finished result will appear as part of an OUP series of information videos on British Politics for students. Will (hopefully!) be fun!

‘After two years a Govt shouldn’t still be blaming the previous Govt’
#TomTugendhat #BBCQT
Really???
The #Tories were still blaming #GordonBrown up until the Covid years!
#Thatcher blamed #Labour in the 1983 General Election.
Typical #TwoTierTory - it’s OK for us to do it, but not you!

Privatisation should be banned.

It's just a money making scheme for the already wealthy that us everyday people pay through the nose for.

Another one of #Thatcher 's legacies that should be like her - dead!

Leur thèse (celle de @romaricgodin.bsky.social, en fait) est simple mais implacable : le #PS dans les faits est arrivé au pouvoir en France après #Thatcher au Royaume-Uni et #Reagan aux États-Unis et il s’est aplati devant la contre-révolution néolibérale sans jamais tenter de s’y opposer. 2

Elvis Costello - Tramp The Dirt Down BBC2 Live Performance on The Late Show special 'Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Spike' - 1989

Trump's gloating over #Mueller's death reminded me of this Elvis Costello song about Margaret #Thatcher

I hope #Trump lives long enough to reap the full measure of karma, and retains enough brain cells to understand what's happening to him.

it's not about "right" or "left". that continuum has always been flexible and is not fixed. cf. the #Blair vs. #Brown governments, or #Thatcher vs. #Major or even #Blair vs. #Cameron - i could barely tell the difference between those two!

then #UKLabour put up #Corbyn - that went well, didn't it!

With any luck, this murdering, genocidal bastard is rotting in hell, with the likes of #Hitler & #Thatcher.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Shocking! 😮

Just what bloody difference does it make what clothes #HannahSpencer is wearing?? It's all about how decent, hard working & caring an MP is not what she wears.

Look at #Thatcher - she always wore a suit, but she was STILL a cunt.

#Thatcher marked the beginning of the UK's decline, & her harsh policies have been carried on by both #Labour & the #Tories.

It's time to dump the establishment once & for all & vote for a party that puts the people & the planet first, not the wealthy & the mega-money industries.

Foolish to say the least. International oil companies own 'our' oil and gas thanks to #Thatcher. Who closed our coalmines.

The reason for that was because the #Nation and #People of #Scotland had been repulsed by #Conservatism by #Thatcher and her ilk.
And frankly it was the only way the #SNP could eventually win. And they did. The SNP under #NicolaSturgeon tacked firmly #CentreLeft and won.

I’m old enough to remember that #Thatcher won the 1983 General Election because of the Falklands War. Could #Labour win the 2029 election on the back of correctly not joining #Trumps illegal war?

We have past the point where acting like a good human being in all things is the desired norm. What we have is a significant shift in behaviour. Encompassing #Thatcher ‘there’s no such thing as society, just people and their families’ #verbalAbuse #onlineBullying #collateralDamage #flytipping

I’ve often thought that women would be more productive and empathetic in positions of power (I know #Thatcher is listed as being female, I hoped that was an aberration) however women in #USA politics have disavowed me of that notion.

I'd wholeheartedly agree, but all I have to say is #Thatcher.

She sparked the decline of the #UK, & many of her harsh policies continue to have an impact even today.

Perhaps it should be a #LeftWing matriarchy?

Miners’ vs Thatcher: Battle That Changed Britain On this day, 5 March 1984, the great UK miners’ strike began when miners at Cortonwood colliery walked out in response to the Conservative government’s announcement of a pit closure plan. Some other pits were already on strike in other disputes, but the strikes against closures spread across Yorkshire, and four days later the National Union of Mineworkers called a national strike, which was joined by a majority of miners around the country. Women, many of them miners’ wives, played a crucial role in supporting the strike, helping the workers to remain out for nearly a year. Prime minister Margaret Thatcher and her government were determined to break the power of workers’ organisations and push through mass privatisation and free market reforms. They had learned from their previous defeats in miners’ strikes in 1972 and 1974. They built up coal stocks, so they could withstand a long strike, and then deliberately provoked the strike by announcing the closure plan in spring when coal was in less demand than during the cold winter months.  The defeat of the miners, who had been the most well-organised and most militant group of workers in Britain, marked a decisive turning point in the balance of power between workers and employers in the country. It eventually led to the much more atomised and individualised nature of the working class in Britain today. Learn more in our podcast series about the dispute. Episode 13 is about women in the strike, episodes 27-29 are about LGBT+ people during the strike, and episode 81 is about the miners’ strikes in 1972 and 1974. Episodes about the strike itself are coming soon: https://workingclasshistory.com/tag/1984-5-miners-strike/

Wait a minute, didn't #Thatcher start absentee voting to harvest #Tory voting tax exiles living overseas? I certainly got an absentee vote when I moved to USA in 1990 - specifically to bite the biter as I was registered in a #marginal seat & could vote to kick them out.

Doesn’t it illustrate how evil #Thatcher was that #TrumpStein uses her warmongering as a pattern to divert attention from personal incompetence and inhumanity?

In the 1979-83 parliament the #Tories lost 4 byelections.
In the 1983-87 they lost 3
In the 1987-92 they lost 6
(In the 1992-97 they lost 8)
#Thatcher remained PM until the #PollTax toppled her in 1990, not the loss of byelections.
(They lost many Councillors too)

#Trump going down the #Thatcher route of indirect taxation (e.g. tariffs - we call it VAT) to cut direct taxation.
It doesn't matter how you do it, you need the same revenue to balance the books, but the rich are least affected as they choose what to buy. #USA
