Thank you for your bravery Marge. I know it wasn't always easy as a courageous and outspoken female leader in a sexist world of disgusting male chauvinist pigs



We know you are resting peacefully in Heaven

Disgraceful? What experience of her policies have either you or scotty had to endure?

She destroyed the British coal industry, putting thousands directly out of work, hundreds of thousands indirectly out of work. Entire communities ruined and then helped the trade deficit into the red by importing cheaper coal.
If you are living in a country like Japan with little to no natural resources, then sure, import what you need. But if you have coal in your country, then it's far better to pay your countrymen to dig it out of the ground, than to make them unemployed.

Sure, the opencast mined coal from Germany and Australia is a lot cheaper, but did we get cheaper energy? Did we f*ck.

She privatised the utilities based on the claim that the private sector runs things more efficiently. Which is total bollocks because now virtually every energy company is based overseas and a private sector company is there to make a profit.

Where did all of the money go that these private companies paid to take over running the utilities? I have no idea... None of it seemed to filter down to the average person in Britain.

She decided to sell off the social housing with massive discounts to the lucky few who could afford to buy their council houses. None of that money was reinvested in building more social housing.
The repercussions of that piece of legislation are still with us now. House prices rocketed beyond the reach of normal people. The shortfall of social housing was filled by buy to let landlords, charging rents to a council that cost more than before.

So what she did to this country was to make housing, water, electricity, and gas (basic living requirements) more expensive.

So if I come across as disgraceful, please excuse me, but this bitch fucked up this country for the majority, whilst making a select few very very rich.

When Diana died, people threw flowers on the bonnet of the hearse.

When her hearse drives down the road, expect a lot of dog shit, bottles and bricks to be thrown at the hearse.

I'm not one for being nasty, not normally a hater. But I'm happy to make an exception for Thatcher.

History will not be nice to her, but the depths of hell have more prominent guests on their way.

I'd rather have politicians like her back, even if I disagreed with their policies, than the bunch of washed out lame talking heads we've had since '97 (including the current lot).

At least she stuck to her principles and accomplished her goals, whatever you think of the morality of those goals (which pretty much comes down to a class divide for the most part)

Just look at Greece now - imagine they'd had a leader willing to stand up to union pressure that spiralled the public wage bill so far out of control it was a major factor in bankrupting the country.

You are missing the point, Pedro. She showed those damned Argentines what there place was and will be celebrated for years to come as the Iron Lady who against extraordinary odds, managed to win a victory in one of the deadliest wars of all time.

I always wondered what sarcasm looked like.

Imagine if Greece weren't mainlining cash like a fucking junky outside a methadone clinic...

[2dimes]

I'm not going to miss her but I can't say I'll be celebrating her demise either.

I must say as much as I laughed when everyone was upset and suddenly said nothing but nice things about Nixon when he died. That seems like a better way to go even if it means being revisionist about it.

Oh s**t I thought that the "Like" in the poll was to like her death... I voted like Can you modify it so we can change it?

This is me not getting involved in UK politics. Hint hint.

[Funkyterrance]

I tend to feel that hating dead people is a bit silly.

Good for you for being isolationist and not taking part in engaging with global political discussions. I take it you won't be commenting on anything to do with North Korea, or Afghanistan, or Iran either?

[KoolBak]

I found your post enlightening Pedro....are you planning any art in her memory? Bet you could come up with something good
