I had a trawl through some of those yesterday, and nowhere could I find that MT had suggested the reintroduction of debtor's prisons:???:

Getting confused now.

 

Are they bringing back debtors prisons.

 

Is Maggie on her way back.

 

Have we all got to cook breakfast for millionairs, then clean there teeth.

 

Do I need to worry about catering to a Royals whims.

 

Will there still be honey for tea?

Bear in mind though, Imprisonment for failing to attend oral examination is very rare, and it's NOT for the debt, it's imprisonment for contempt of Court.A little known fact is that Margaret Thatcher (may she rot in wherever she's going) wanted to bring debtors' prisons back

I think what was meant was in regards to the Poll Tax, or Community Charge as it was also known. Pay up or end up in prison.

 

It was said that she was going back to the old days of debtors prisons when the protests happened and people were convicted for not coughing up when they were disputing it.

Aha, I see.. but then any form of tax be it local or government has always carried a hefty fine or prison sentence if not paid. Not just in the MT era.
