Joe Gormley didn't refuse his place in the House of Lords tho' :exc:
Nor his place at the Plough & Harrow in Shevy!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

It's the time she was in power that I remember. My Dad was a miner for 36 years, and all he got from the pits was a lung full of coal dust.
She was a nasty, divisive, dictatorial megalomaniac who despised the working class and came in with an agenda to destroy primarily the NUM, and subsequently, the rest of the Trade Union Movement.
The Tories never forgave Joe Gormley for bringing down Ted Heath - another nasty piece of work.
The North is still recovering from the witch.
What really makes me sick is all the sycophants who are making her out to be on a par with Churchill and others.
What an insult.
There, I've got it off my chest!!
There lies the illogical thinking of many working / middle class folk Bri. Thatcher and the Conservatives are only ever interested in a very small % of the people in this country and then only in London primarily but the South. Yet, many working / middle class folk think she represented them when nothing could be further from the truth. The Daily Mail since her death has been pathetic OTT in their adulation.

Brian Moore has just gone up massively in my estimation. Sarries have announced a minutes silence. Moore was interviewed on 5Live and said he didn't like her and would not wish to take part in a minutes silence for her. He said he would leave his seat rather than disrupt it though. Apparently he hated her decision to sell off school playing fields.
So the next question is will the Wigan contingent at Sarries remember their roots like Shaun Edwards did during the miner's strike or will they obey their paymasters will?

I'm not the only administrator on the site!
Why is it always me who has to close/move threads?
I have to read every post, even if I don't agree with them, I just don't post a reply.
I'll ask the site owner if he finds it should be closed.

Offensive to whom?
And the 'Off Topic' forum is set up especially to cater for non-rugby topics!
