Margaret Thatcher, R.I.P.?

[Worthy4England]

Have they nailed the feckin lid down yet?

If I remember correctly, Sellotape is the traditional insurance for such an eventuality....

Thanks to Sir Margaret, we won't have to wait for a Joiner to do a job an unskilled bloke can do

Not at mine. Can't say I'm sad at all like. But end of the day it's not something I'd celebrate. Understand those who will like.

Each to their own.

[William the White]

I'm not celebrating either. I don't dance on graves. I've wept by too many.

But I do feel a kind of relief that the despicable architect of that despicable epoch is finally gone.

Not one toast. Not one tear. Just the pleasure that comes when you finally get rid of that persistent pain in your neck...

Pity there's no miners left to dig a hole deep enough to drop the bitch into.

Not here Bruce, but the world's a few degrees warmer.

Why anyone would expect me to say "awww she wasn't a bad old battle axe" is beyond me. She was a heartless bitch yesterday, she's a heartless bitch today - no major difference.

I didn't wish for her passing, but I'm glad she's gone.

Three great game-changing 20th century British politicians (there have only been three):

Winston Churchill
Clement Attlee
Margaret Thatcher

The rest? Little inconsequential men. And, to rejoice in her death today? Well, shame on you for your small minds.

A massive plus one for that!!

Yep she did good things and a few bad ones but at least she was a real leader, not a wimp.
I despair at some of you, so you would rather have Scargil, 'Red' Ken, 'Red' Robbo and all their bullying thugs running the place? Maybe we should have let Argie dictators or any other just walk in and take what they wanted or perhaps we should have all learned French as our national lingo. I was at the time in the Engineering union who worked to rule or threatened to strike at the drop of a hat and woe betide anyone who just wanted to get on and make a living, it took the p*ss being told how much you could earn by a union thug!
So feckin’ shallow some folk.

Are you referring to Pinochet?

This death has opened a full blown sectarian argument in Northern Ireland

Three giant figures...

The first led a a fight against Fascism that had to be won...

The second established the NHS and negotiated a historic compromise between labour and capital that lasted until Heath decided to go into class warfare... and then...

The third destroyed manufacturing industry and sold the economy to finance capital... BTW... That's what you are suffering now... (And, before anybody else bothers saying it, with the later collusion of the Blair governments)...

The first two changed the game for the people of our country... the third for the ruling class... if you want to see the children of Thatcher in all their smugness, look at Cameron and Osborne... that's her legacy... One to be proud of...

Very difficult to feel the world is worse off in any way for her absence...

[Hoboh]

That just about sums up this country!

Far easier than a Thousand words ever would.

Bud swiggin' pond life who wern't even spawn when Thatcher was PM celebrating her passing!

This 'Youth K' is one place I'm glad I'm older now so I won't get to see what a f*ck up they have made of it in fifty years time!

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

I'm not really in the mood to discuss her record today, but I can't help reflecting on the fact that a shop owner's daughter coming through state education to become PM feels no more likely today than it did 40 years ago, which is a shame.

So bringing down the cold war with Ronnie thus making this country and people safe from your 'Red mates' counts for nothing then?

If WtW mates are 'communists' then who are yours? Heinrich and Adolf?

[Bruce Rioja]

Hmmm. I wonder how Michael Foot might have stood up to the issues of the day?!

Ooooh, catty.

It's a good point... One brought home to me today looking at the befuddled Hurd,Tebbit, Lamont and Williams... Sometimes your time is past, and Michael Foot's time was then... A shame - he had been a great fighter for socialism in a different era that was then past... A Foot premiership earlier would have been a truly radical experiment that might have put a smile on my face but never on yours... It might have removed us permanently from the nuclear weapons stupidities that still continue...
