wrong, everybody has a choice, nobody is forced to work in this country...and by the way, its an opinion, no need to make it personal, did I? :dunno:

....... It is personal .... You never lived through it .......... Not everyone can be socially mobile.

I live in what USED to be a pit village, my next door neighbour hasn't done a stroke of work since the pit shut nearly 15 years ago, he got a massive payout for white finger, and suffers from "depression" :cry: drives a bigger, newer car than me, two 42 inch tv's, holidays regularly, and does ok thank you very much, asked would he go back to the pit given the choice??
answer "FUCK OFF"!!:dunno:
the "ex" girlfriends father used to be a miner, same story, most of the village are doing "ok" thank you, and most haven't worked since the shutdown!! :dunno:
yes it was a twats trick HOW the mines were decimated, and if either side had given ANY thought to the future rather than "now" they could have put many of the pits in mothballs, to open them again when they became profitable again!! as it is, they can't be used again because of flooding collapse etc, so were all buggered,
and jonboy, there's no need to get personal, it's an opinion and people are free to express theirs :dunno:

More suicides among males in the North East due to social deprivation than any Belgrano ..... Fucking wake up.
Shit happens, but if your used to everyone else bailing you out, suppose it must come as a shock. Don't seem to be many slashing their wrists down the big market last time I was there.

....... It is personal .... You never lived through it .......... Not everyone can be socially mobile.

I am 49 and lived through the closure of Irlam Steel works, Irlam CWS margarine works, Irlam CWS soap works, the decline of Salford and Manchester docks, the decimation of Warringtons wire industry which employed Thousands of men, I could go on but I wont. I was born in a cold damp draughty council house And am PROUD of my working class roots. BUT, all of my family have moved on from our working class roots because of the opportunities we had during the eighties, so don't tell me I didn't live through it, and don't tell me there wasn't a choice, If I had followed my Grandfathers foosteps, I would have worked on a blast furnace and died at 57 from overwork and shitty living working conditions...........as it is I am doing very nicely thanks!

Both your suggestions are clearly incorrect!

1. I was not asking Gary's opinion.

2. How could people have been on the way down Gary? Is Gary a street?

Absolutely true Gary. Maggie sold off the council houses for the same reason!

There is nothing a politician will not say or do to keep in power and in the House of Commons.:wank:

Just like there is nothing a woman will not wear or will not do to her body in the name of fashion!8rfl@
Can't see it can you, labour want to flood our country and make sure they never lose another election. If you work you will be bled dry paying for Phillpot scum. That's the sorry thing it's coming towards you like a express train, and you don't even see it.

me grow up, 8rfl@

you are talking in general now you have stopped being personal........and realised that forums are all too easy to get sucked into.. I regularly work in your region, including the area you talk about Seaham and Ashington, and yes the decline up there is sad to see, but we could switch the argument to British seaside holiday resorts decimated by cheap flights to Spain (flights that were certainly beyond my parents reach in the 60's and 70's) not all progress is positive for everyone, but I firmly believe we all have a choice, life is what you make it, regardless of who the government of the day is......

Starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch. I lived in the bottom of the shoe. Blah blah blah. If you lot up north got up your arses, instead of expecting us from down south to bail you out all the time, perhaps you might gain some self respect.

and if you from the south read ALL of the post, maybe you would understand what was being said Gazza!@tu* I DID get off my fucking arse, put myself through night school, then college (no grant here mate) and got myself a decent standard of living that NOBODY has ever had to bail me out, so what part of that did you not get? :dunno: I was telling a fellow northerner my credentials to have an opinion on the decline of Thatcherist Britain. fair enough?:-0)

I do see it Gary.

Can't see it can you, labour want to flood our country and make sure they never lose another election. If you work you will be bled dry paying for Phillpot scum. That's the sorry thing it's coming towards you like a express train, and you don't even see it.

I was merely pointing out that all politicians are venal!8rfl@

I need to say no more. Don't preach to me, tell your fellow northerners how you did it. Unfortunately the vast majority of your fellow northerners are quite happy to sponge of us hard working southerners. :bang:
