RE: Lady Thatcher Passes Away.
Scargill was a communist, started a strike without the mandate of his members.
Labour closed more pits than the Tories.
Labour not thatcher started the eradication of free milk in schools
Labour introduced university tuition fees
And they still slag off thatcher and the Tories
Thatcher was very respectful when Michael foot died, but the left are not so, enemies in life and enemies in death so it seems

In 1979 they led Labour by seven percentage points. In every subsequent election they got a lower percentage than in 1979! The Tories were incredibly well served by the divisions of the left.
There was certainly never a time when a clear and marked majority of the populace were not anti-Thatcher.
As to fascism, let us simply remark that that certainly wasn't the reason that Augusto Pinochet's personal friend and unflappable defender took us to war...
So having a percentage lead over your rival does actually count as winning.
Would you have allowed the invasion to stand with just a shrug of your shoulders.
Bloody glad i don't vote for either of them.
Scargill's keeping very quite though, wonder why.
