he had a job, and Thatcher dealt to that, and all the other options

@JakobusVdL Год назад

@@paulcarpenter885 you need to listen as well as react, "he was 58 when he lost his factory job" and that was 30 years before Thatcher's death. So he's not saying he was unemployed for 30 years, unless you expect people to work until their 90's? Government's (especially Thatchers) and employers are famously NOT keen to retrain or even employ people in their 50's. Large parts of the UK had unemployment rates over 20% in the early 1980's (higher for over 50's and under 25's) because industries were shut-down with no thought to how those jobs would be replaced - Thatcher simply didn't care. We can't know if Julian was lazy, but your opinions certainly are.

@@JakobusVdL what? She should’ve kept subsiding it forever? It was going to occur. No power for all is 100x more cruel.

@jaredbowhay-pringle1460 Год назад

@@JakobusVdL It never says "he was 58 when he lost his factory job". He was quite clearly 58 at the time of recording in 2013, so he would've probably been 29 in 1984. Regardless of your political leaning, unless you have a disability, not having held any sort of job for 30 years likely indicates some level of laziness.
