Lest we ever forget ...

... what Margaret Thatcher had to tackle when she came to power in 1979, here is a letter in the Yorkshire Post yesterday which exposes just a tiny fraction in today's terms of what she was up against back then!

IT seems America is in the grip of a comical spy plot: "Read carefully, I will put this on Twitter only once...."Not so comical are the militant leaders of the RMT and Unite unions. Unite: Yes, we know we have the best paid cabin crew, but give us more or we will do our best to break you, BA. RMT: Yes, we know there are going to be fewer workers needed because of the recession, we know cuts have to be made, we know the coalition has inherited crippling debt – but Bob Crow issues a call to arms and declares all-out war if you try to take one, just one, RMT union member's job. Unlike the American dissidents, this pair of non-funny clowns are a serious threat to the nation.
