Maggie Thatcher

Zero emotional intelligence and empathy for the human condition.

Brilliantly put, Davs.

Brilliantly put, Davs.

But a brilliant organiser who saw that the country we live in was fast going down the tubes. How many on here, who are commenting about Thatcher, actually lived as an adult under here terms of office? I did, and saw a country prior to her rule stricken by endless strikes, a 27% inflation rate, industries hidebound by unions hellbent on implementing a students union form of crackpot left wing ideology across industry, and the public service. Not long before, Dennis Healey had to go cap in hand to the IMF to stave off impending bankruptcy, every fucker was on strike, and we were basically in the shit.
Now, I know, Thatcher was a ruthless woman, with qualities that are anathema to a lot of people, I thought she was a domineering cow as well, but I'm firmly of the belief that she was a leader that was needed at the time. Yes, working people suffered, I'm of working class stock and saw it all around, but the industries she 'destroyed' were , in the main,coal, steel, and the resultant collapse of all industries reliant on them, but the fact is these heavy industries were heavily subsidised, it couldn't carry on, and once subsidies were withdrawn, they bowed to the pressure of competition.

Revisionist history at its finest.

I agree. Her ‘style’ was unfortunate, but the action was needed. I can remember at least one City game kicking off at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon because power cuts due to strikes meant that it couldn’t be guaranteed that the floodlights could be switched on. She polarised opinion completely, but she did keep getting voted back in, so I think we can assume, contrary to popular belief, that she was ‘popular’. It will be a generation or two before history can judge Thatchers errors and achievements on an objective basis.

 

[SWP's back]

She fucked the commie unions.

God bless her.

Good night sweet queen. May you rest peacefully.

 

[SWP's back]

She modernised Britain from a state economy where most manufacturing jobs were subsidized in some way from the public purse, into a service based economy which led to Britain regaining it's 19th century position of relevance in global finance.

And all it took was the complete decimation of the working classes and surrendering any potential for a stable economy based on the bedrock of manufacturing to the Germans.

A near bankrupt service based economy based on nationalise banks lol

Eh?

Clueless.

Go on google and have a look see what the FS sector brings in each year and then try and claim it's near bankrupt.

Rancid decomposing woman.

Not that that would stop SWP and some others on here slipping her a length of their febrile cockwomblery.

I would have gladly burned her alive the evil paedo apologist, her wickedness had no limits.
