Funny how a woman taking us to war against a dictator is revered and a man taking us to war against a dictator is reviled.
Totally different situations.
Who says she is being revered? We're saying it's sad that people are glorifying death.
Dazdon states "the sooner the better" in regards to Blair.
I havent glorified in her death but i could, i hate her with a passion as i saw the hoplessness many of my fellow 18 year olds felt in 1983 when leaving school and not being able to get a job. I saw 3 of my friends die which i connect to the ravages she wreaked on the working class. If you dont give a person hope you condemn them to a life which is meaningless and 3 of my friends sought solace to the helplessness in drink and drugs and killed themselves without ever having the chance to realise there potential. They were not bad lads just lads deprived of a future and a chance to work, to grow and be happy.
I was lucky my dad got me a job but i witnessed what the dismantling of union power did to the industry i was in. I watched grown men with families in tears having recieved redundancy notifications. I saw the working practices of those who were left dismantled and i saw a union powerless to help.
I could glorify in her death, but i chose not to, instead i had a quiet beer last night early doors and reflected on lost friends and lost opportunity. Thatcherism was great for a few people, it was suicide for others.
