Thatcher dead

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The left really do themselves no favours in situations such as this.

The only saving grace for them is that it's over two years to the next election.

As can be totally expected there's the, ''glad she's dead'' brigade, on here. Can I just ask though what victory has this achieved for you all? She lived to her 80s. Relatively comfortable. I doubt she'll be going to hell as life just ends.
What exactly is it you all think you've achieved in her dying? Hardly a victory.

Either way I'm indifferent. She made some hard calls. She did it the wrong way but I despise Blair and Brown but couldn't give a flying F*** when they die. Just glad they're no longer in power.

Why do working class people praise the fact that she "curbed the power of the unions" ?

Do you feel the unions were doing the right thing in the 70's?

I ffel like the working class have no-one fighting their corner

Can someone wake Rascal up he's obviously not heard the good news.

It's not that I feel any particular need to justify my hatred of a good mate of Pinochet's and Savile's but can you tell me why thirty years of stagnant social mobility is a good thing? Can you tell me why having the lowest social mobility in the western world along with the United States and Portugal is a good thing? If Thatcher was great at promoting industriousness, entrepreneurs and enterprise, why have stood still in providing better opportunities regardless of wealth in three fucking decades? Why is our economy so unbalanced that we focussed solely on financial and services sector to the detriment of the industry she destroyed? Why is it a good thing that we have created paper wealth through rapid house price inflation - because of housing stock shortages, that the next generation i.e. me and you, are going to pay for? Or are you hoping we continue this mad Ponzi scheme for the next generation?

Thanks Skashion.

The Unions aren't the ones for that job.

Correct.

Suggest she did a lot more for this country than the Windsors ever will

Bollocks.

Thatcher only thought she was the Queen, but the real one still reigns happy and glorious.

And long may she.
"We are a grandmother". Silly cow saying that.Remember it? I bet the Queen was fucking furious.

She certainly got that right

So the tories were that bankrupt, they had to flog all the utilities..... I was so annoyed with people I worked with all clutching their £100 worth of shares in gas, BT etc.... and then waiting for the share price to go up so they could go to Spain for a week.... meanwhile the big business men filled their boots.... and now everyone complains that the utility prices are too high......

And whose corner were they fighting when their almost constant strikes inconvenienced millions of working people? The sad truth is, they were purely about self-interest in those days.

Wait, why was the country bankrupted again?
