Thatcher's legacy: UK 'is the only nation working harder than in the 1980s'

TheWza [Edit] [Delete] 11:15, 4 May '11

YEAH! GO THATCHER! RIGHT?

."Margaret Thatcher broke the backs of trade unions across the country."

YEAH! THOUGHT SO. GOOD ON HER! FUCKING LEECHING UNIONS!

."Margaret Thatcher did not tolerate union practices like those of miners."

GOOD OLD MAGGIE, EH?! SHE PUT THE GREAT BACK INTO BRITAIN!

."The former Tory prime minister’s success at cracking down on union restrictive practices and freeing the country’s entrepreneurial spirit means we work much harder than we used to."

BEST PRIME MINISTER THIS COUNTRY'S EVER... ER... WORKING HARDER, Y'SAY?

."Margaret Thatcher’s workplace revolution has seen Britons working more hours per week than when she was in Number Ten."

UM... HANG ON...

."Meanwhile, across Europe, people now work fewer hours than they did in the 1980s."

OH. I GET IT. BLOODY WORKSHY EUROPE! ER... RIGHT?!

."The OECD report, Growing Income Inequality, confirmed that Britain has among the most unequal earnings in the Western world, and that the gap between rich and poor is widening."

AH...

."The gap between the rich and poor is widening across most of the OECD, but not by as big an extent as in the UK."

UM...

."The gap between rich and poor is larger only in Mexico, Turkey, the U.S., Greece and Israel."

FOREIGN COUTRIES, EH? YOU MEAN... IMMIGRANTS? CAUSING CANCER, PROBABLY. IN OUR KIDS, NO DOUBT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOUSE PRICES, MAYBE? ANYWAY.... THATCHER... WOO! YEAH! DOWN WITH UNIONS! BLOODY WORKSHY EUROPEANS.
