The highest unemployment rate ever recorded was in 1984 and it was officially 11.9% (although probably even higher given the manipulation that went on).
Were you unemployed at that time?
If you were, you are confused, as Margaret Thatcher was five years into her tenure and it wasn't the 70's.

Why not? You raised it but won't elaborate. What's the big deal? You're not Captain Mainwaring are you?

Some of us lived through both and are able to make an informed comparison.'"
Yes sure whatever, I love it even better when guys like you smart so much.

Most people would say that those who served in the forces deserve some respect.
I have no idea why you'd want to keep it secret, especially having mentioned it yourself.

'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world'

You do realise that the highest unemployment levels have always been under Tory governance don't you, in fact under Thatcher it was close to 5 million (including all the fiddled out figures, such as a man claiming for his wife if both were out of work).
She was once quoted as saying 'three million unemployed is a price worth paying', which all well and good for a multi-millionaire to say, but the aftermath in places like Mexborough, Moorends and other pit economies is still being felt to this day. It's very similar to the rhetoric we are getting now from silver spooned individuals like Cameron, Osbourne and Clegg (all multi-millionaires from inheritance) with 'we are all in this together'. Well I am sorry but we are not, never have been and never will be.
One down, far too many to go.

A clue might be in his site name, prone to violence for no reason other than lack of self control.

| The reason why thatcher came into power was because the labour government was in a mess and influential rock stars like Weller and Strummer were highly critical of labour and were threatening to vote Tory. In 83 it was over some piece of rock in the Atlantic, that the vast majority neither knew nor cared about, and still don't. In 87 she had the malignant backing of the Murdoch press and it's vitriolic rhetoric of Neil kinnock.

| Quote: Chris28 "Why is Knuckles so aggressive about all this?'" I'm starting to think he served in an armed force that got involved with a certain coup.
I would certainly explain the aggression.

It was actually Lamont (who gets my vote as the worst chancellor we ever had) who said "[iRising unemployment and the recession have been the price that we have had to pay to get inflation down. That price is well worth paying[/i".
But she probably thought so too... and I agree with the rest of your post.
