If you are on about the overpowerment of the Unions in the Uk in the 1970's, there is a shed load more to it then your (yet again) simplistic blanket generalisations... -- Just \int_0^\infty du it! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Same here. It was not a good time and it was not a good example of how democracy works (on either side).

Miners movements were being restricted, and aid had to be sent to those families fighting for their very existence. It is telling that there are very few Tories these days who crow for a return to hardline Thatcherism. It surprises me still that we did not springboard into a hard-left government directly after, and ended up with a left (in name only) one. -- Just \int_0^\infty du it! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
