@ James Bateman “I am forever amazed what various people blame the Tories for. “Thatcher destroyed the British ship industry”
Thatcher destroyed the communities which relied heavily on shipbuilding and mining, by turning her back on them. You may be fortunate enough not to have been witness to this. If you want a balanced view on what happened in these communities, why not listen to some stories from people who actually experienced the decline, rather than formulating your own hypothesis based on the economic decline of the industry itself. You are talking about $$$$$, the reasons for the global decline of those industries, and seem apathetic to the experiences of the communities involved, and how little Thatcher wanted to help them. The bitterness towards her relates more to the lack of empathy than anything else.
