Oh dear.
You ladies did spend lot of time in the soft play area didn’t you?
Once again gents, if the subject is not to your liking then don’t click on the link. It’s only the internet. Joining in is your choice, as is not joining in.
But you know you want to.
Not troll bait.
Inflammatory. Yeah I can see how my, and apparently a lot of others opinion of the woman could be seen as such.
Any mods want to lock the thread please feel free.
Ah Dave, I’m glad you’re here.
You aren’t afraid to state a strongly held opinion and I would rather somebody comment on the woman and her legacy than just get their panties in a bunch over my thoughts and feelings. Calling me “nasty ****” notwithstanding.
I get that on a daily basis. And I’m not even in the Police! (<-See Ian, that’s what I would call not good forum etiquette)
Yes Dave I am very aware of it being a democracy.
I have been voting for 30 years.
I have also taken to the streets in protest, as is my right in our democracy.
Stood with banners at the introduction of foreign nuclear weapons being brought into my country, and tried to prevent Sheriffs Officers from throwing families into the street (literally) under the auspices of a law that even Philipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos found so unjust he wouldn’t apply it.
A democracy that Mrs Thatch tried her level best to skew in the favour of a number of wealthy party donors and fellow xenophobes at the expense of hard working, tax paying British citizens.
A democracy that others before us fought and died for.
A democracy that that bitch wanted to take away so that she and her favoured could profit.
It was a hard time in the UK then for a working class family.
If you want a feel for it then go watch "Brassed Off" or "The Full Monty".
Easily digestible Thatcherism for those of you too young or too sensitive to actually experience it.
Completely agree with you on all the other things you said (apart from the PFI thing which I don’t understand)
Labour did very little to try to mend the devastated industry in this country that Mrs T caused.
Banks were allowed to do what they wanted and council houses became a partnership with private businesses.
All policies that Maggie introduced and Tony did nothing to change.
I remember the day he was elected.
In his first address to the media he name-checked Thatcher and called her a great leader.
And I thought to myself “ Ah bollocks. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”.
Got to admit though, John Major worked hard to undo the divide she created within her own party and with other political parties. Even had a go at helping NGO's when they were something of use.
Hey, you should have seen my celebrations the day she was ousted.
77 degrees South on the Antarctic ice shelf after being stuck in the ice for 2 weeks not moving more than 1 metre in any direction.
What a party.
Even the tory boys joined in.
Helped bulldoze a ramp up an ice cliff the next day and officially named it Maggies ditch.
The mess that evil woman inflicted on a huge number of people does not become mitigated on her death.
It doesn’t bring back the 300 odd Argentinians that died on the sinking of the Belgrano under her direct orders.
Sitting in the tea shack reading the Gotcha headline that Monday morning was sickening.
Celebrating a death?
Tell you what, see when Tebbit carks it......you guys might not want to log in.
Hi P'n'H
Been 88F today on Sri Lanka's beautiful west coast. High humidity but a nice sea breeze.
Took Li'l Clydette and my friends daughter to the turtle sanctuary today and helped out.
As us nasty ****'s are wont to do on occasion
