[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 6682375, member: 1951"] yes there were jobs lost across the spectrum, as the government made the decision which had been staring governments in the face for at least 2 decades, nationalised industries not just do not work , but cost the taxpayer an incredible amount of money. Taxation was at astronomical levels to try to pay for this forcing poverty on those not able to get their snout in the trough of union closed workshops. Billions of money were wasted trying to extract coal from worked out pits. Then more millions chucked at the steel industry to make jobs in areas of high unemployment wirhout any thought about the logistical nightmare this created with steel billets being produced at Recarr taken to Wales for rolling, then back to Scotland for Galvanising. In Germany all this would have been done in one factory! I wont even start on British Leyland except to say even the employees were reluctant to buy their own product. Then the railways were a joke, rolling stock from pre war, and labour practices to match, including stokers on diesel trains. it was no wonder redundancies were due, the shame was they came so quick and had not been worked on over the previous 30 years, which may have encouraged co operation from unions to modernise and money spent on investment in the factories rather than wages [/QUOTE]
