Thatcher’s agenda

Published: 12 November, 2010

• THE Tory party are again in government and they appear to be hell-bent on carrying on with Margaret Thatcher’s agenda by selling off our public services, attacking the unemployed and those on state benefits.

Unemployed people will be forced to undertake unpaid work in the community and if they don’t they will have benefits stopped or cut to the bone.

As it is we have a new twist to the agenda, and that is that those who can’t afford to live in London will be forced out of their homes and placed in ghettos in other parts of the UK. People living in central London and claiming housing benefit or living off poverty wages may be forced to leave their homes. 

There is no doubt that Thatcher’s agenda to starve the poor to feed the rich is still on the table!
