What you don't seem to realise is that it was Thatcher herself who

Quite. All those miners were simply lazy sods just hoping for a nice
restful time on the dole. If they weren't they'd have put themselves
and family on a bike and gone looking for a new job.

Thats dishonest given that Labour before Thatcher had in fact closed
more coal mines.

Typical Tory. Find an example of anyone else doing the same makes it OK.

It would be difficult as his wife is already dead. ;-)
