Those Were the Days.

I remember watching some Brit movie several decades ago about a bunch of laid off coal miners who were trying to get on with their lives. At one point in the flick, a character player by Steven Tompkinson while inside a church asks God to kill Margaret Thatcher. Because Thatcher had denationalized the mines and broken the iron lunch pail of many miners.

Of course we have plenty of our own deranged leftist actors over here, but I was struck by the vehemence of the anti-Thatcherites in Britain.

My wife grew up in Britain and said the people had had enough of the unions strangling the economy and making life miserable for most Brits. That was one huge reason Thatcher got voted in...the Laborite unions were killing the country. They, the leftists, with the elevation of this Corbyn clown still do not seem to have gotten the message.

You could almost substitute Reagan and the USA for Thatcher and Britain in the piece. Both countries are trying to make up for the lost time and reverses of the Reagan/Thatcher years.
