Miners had aspirations too, even if they were to keep food on the table, work reasonable hours and perhaps enjoy a holiday or two, as well as better education for their children.
I aspire to things, as is human nature, but most people are able to keep their ethics and a constructive viewpoint of the world in check. Life can be a miserable slog, and the variations in circumstance are so extreme, that Thatcher's century of self was never going to work out for everyone. I hope to do well in life, but it doesn't make me angry that others either don't have the chance or fail. I wish their wasn't such a history of the free market economy dissolving into utter spite.
