All the nonsense about disrupting the funeral etc came to nothing and other than the shrill squeals from the minority the vast majority accept that overall Baroness Thatcher was a benefit to this country.
She is now dead and buried and so should this thread be
R.I.P
the vast majority accept that overall Baroness Thatcher was a benefit to this country.
You mean the vast majority of "decent" people. Your Daily Mail knickers are showing.
How blinkered can you get! Thatcher did indeed win three successive elections, each of which yielded a parliamentary landslide. But she never truly won “the backing of the British people.” Her share of the popular vote was never more than forty-four per cent.
To put it another way, her highest level of popularity was lower than the loser’s tally in five of the last seven American Presidential elections.
But then facts aren't the right's strong suit.
Haha. 2005 election Bliar had 35.2 % and the one before 40.7%
Don't let the facts get in your way ;-)
Yes, but then he wasn't buried on Wednesday, nor do I make claims about the "silent majority".
When anyone mentions the "silent majority" it's always code for no majority at all.
