Seonaidh 🏴40 years since the Miners' Strike and Thatcher's Conservative government waged war on whole communities. The effects are still with us today.
Drug problems in today's Scotland can be attributed to Thatcher's war on the working classes in the 80s.
This, from the Scottish Drugs Forum:
- Scotland’s drug problem has its roots in the harsh climate of 1980s deindustrialisation and the economic and social impact in the subsequent decades. Other countries chose a more interventionist approach by which the state created alternative employment and opportunity during these changes. This was not the policy in the UK.

Foosty Puddin 🏴@MacNaBracha Ultimately, everything that is bad, wrong, unacceptable, inadequate, inferior, second-rate and nasty in this country can be traced back to Thatcher. I blame her for all the shite we currently find ourselves in.

🇪🇺🏳️🌈The Battle of Orgreave was orchestrated by Thatcher and the police and then filmed to frame the miners as the aggressors 🤬
