All of Thatcher's reign was riddled with corruption and dishonesty. No matter who was in the cabinet, they were all complicit. It was an ideology of pure hatred, not just for the miners, but for the whole working class. It was never enough for them to socially marginalise us, they wanted us to suffer. Remember Whitelaw with his quasi military camp detentions..."Short, Sharp, Shock?.....Nasty,nasty, people.
