| Jon Snow has just tweeted that MPs & Lords can claim up to £3,750 each for returning to Parliament for today's tribute. Parliament is back in session on Monday, if Cameron had waited until then, it wouldn't have cost a penny.
So much for austerity

Notwithstanding your complete ignorance, would that include the "lefties" like John Healy and others who have refused to return today, precisely because it is a complete waste of time and money.
I wonder if all the "righties" will be submitting no claims at all?

| Quote: Lord Elpers "The suffering and misery for the majority of the population at the time was caused by the greedy and selfish unions undemocratic industrial action. If there was misery for the strikers that was self inflicted. The unions mishandling of the situation brought on a popular tidal wave against them that they have never recovered from and is why they have since vilfied Mrs Thatcher in an attempt to cover over their failures and guilt in the same manner that Scargill tried to cover over his bald head. Both failures. Mrs T in her final years made errors but it should be remembered that it was the Conservative party and not the public that ousted her.
Dennis Healey was one of the architects of the disaster that required the IMF bail out and led to the Winter of Discontent. I think you can discount what that pompous oaf said as it showed how out of touch he was for saying it and you for quoting it. May I remind you how popular she was as the people of this country swept her to power for 3 straights election wins on the trot.
The country needed a radical overhaul and in undertaking this task she naturally made enemies from the sector that felt the most pain. If you wish to believe just one negative aspect of her leadership thats up to you. But the history books will show there were two sides to the lady and the positive one was by far the most important.'"
As for the miners, they never recovered from the closing of all the mines.

They were not only during the Heath government.
The point is that they were directly as a result of Unions trying to blackmail the Country.

As opposed to the bankers who would never do such a thing, and haven’t of course taken amounts many many many many times bigger than what even the most strident of the striking miners were asking for, literally billions of times more.
And obviously we cant trace the de-regulation and change in trading systems which not only facilitated this, but pretty much guaranteed it to happen to Reagan/thatcher, and more specifically in this country 27/10/1986.

That depends on the cost when compared to keeping thousands on the dole

He say’s it’s coming out of all the rebates she secured from the E.U back in the day.
Perhaps there’s enough left to turn her ashes into a shimmering diamond, that can be mounted on the Coronation Crown.

Most mining was economical if granted a level playing field, Thatcher would NOT subsidise British coal, but refused to stop heavily subsidised coal in from other places. A lot of coal was shipped from Australia and the subsidies were so heavy that it was worth the while paying all the shipping costs to bring it over. How were British mines supposed to compete without a levelling off of subsidies.
I think the miners would have been happy to compete if a levy on imported coal were introduced, similar to what America does to protect it's own industries.

| There's also the 3 million unemployed at the time Thatcher was in power as well. They never counted school leavers either as unemployed so there will have been a few thousand more there. At least she's with her friend General Pinochet now so they can have nice talks about what they did to their respectives peoples.
