When M Thatcher was asked, what was her greatest achievement, she replied, "Tony Blair".
It was Labour that set the Troops IN to Ireland in 1969.
It was Labour who introduced the PTA in 1974 and sent Troops IN to Glasgow to drive Fire Engines; Ambulances and Dustbin Lorries to scab on workers fighting a Labour Pay Freeze,
It was Labour Energy Minister, Tory Wedgewood Benn, Friends of Israel, who built Torness and Hunterston Nuclear Power stations, leading directly to the closure of most of the Scottish coal fields before Thatcher came to power.
It was President Michael McGaghy of the Scottish Miners Union and Jimmy Reid that warned Arthur Scargill not to fall into Thatcher's trap and that Maggie had coals stockpiled and the Army, police and media on standby. It was in 1974 that Labour closed all the Scottish Trade Unions and the SCWS, amalgamating them into regions of the London Tame Union hierarchy. The only Scottish Union left is the Educational Institute of Scotland, because we have a separate education system. Labour introduced student fees and cut the student grants. The Scottish Government, such as it I has resisted that and most of the Lab Con cuts in health, education and welfare, etc, to the best of their limited powers and are opposed to their Lab Con Trident and Imperialist wars..
There is nothing that Thatcher did that was not Out-Toryed by Ramsay MacDonald, Lords Wilson and Callaghan and Tory Blair. Gordon Broon. Johanne L:amont is against the "something for nothing society" and Alastair Dahling are all allied with the Tories in the Lib-Lab-Con No Better Together campaign.
I personably won't be joining them in any phoney celebrations to make Labour look like something they aren't. Thatcher lives on in the Unionist Labour Party. I will save my celebrations and 30 year old bottle of Malt till we have a YES Victory in September 18 2014 and metaphorically bury the lot of them.
