Baroness Thatcher - Dead / RIP

[pork pie]

Absolutely spot-on.

I hated ted heath when he was in power, but then he didn't seem too bad when Thatcher came along.

Now we have got Cameron and Osborne running the show, the thatcher Years almost look attractive.

I am very much on the anti side, the worst prime minister in my lifetime, and I am approaching 60, but I am not rejoicing.

So you voted for the spiv Dennis Hobden then? What a sad brown suited little man he was, with his weasle of a son Sigmond I believe - what sort of name is that?

Sorry but found this funny
"Around this time, people started planning her funeral just to scare the shit out of her. Tory fanbois insisted on giving her state funeral reported to cost the UK taxpayer £3,000,000 (or $6,000,000 lol, exchange rate). This marks the only occasion where people agreed with the Tories as while they wanted to give their glorious leader a fond farewell, the rest of the UK thought £3 million was a small price to make sure the **** was actually dead. Well, not everyone. Some people believe the £3 million could be put to better use. "For £3 million, you could buy everybody in Scotland a shovel, and we'd dig a hole so deep we'd hand her over to Satan personally." Margaret Thatcher will be buried in a man made lake or at least she will be after all the people have finished pissing on her grave. It will be the first time the 21 gun salute will be aimed at the coffin."

You forgot "and an utter arse".

But, most importantly....do we get a day off for this?

I hope not.

It depends how you define socialism. I class myself as a socialist. The labour party classes itself as socialist. And I still vote for them.

I have always voted for the person not the party which did lead to me not voting at all on some occasions it depends on what they will do for the local community

Why? Their policies are virtually indistinguishable from Cameron's.

at this moment in time they are just watered down tories

My girlfriend's in tears. I said " I didn't know you liked Thatcher". She said "I don't. Why, what's happened?"

She probably thinks you're fantasizing about Maggie when you're banging her

 

[Racek]

Oh Maggie I think I've got something to say to you...

People should be allowed to pay their respects for a former PM if they want to. Would say the same if it was Blair or Brown too.

Just when I was getting all serious about politics, you had to write that. I'll now compose myself and re join the debate. Good line and shouldn't laugh at work.

I wasn't living in Brighton Kemptown. I was in Worthing firstly, then Oxford in the early '70s.

I hope not.

But I want to go have a BARBEQUE...

You do not need a day off to do this.

I call them Blue Labour , they lost all their principles after winning the 97 election.

She probably thinks i'm fanatsizing about Maggie most of the time. Why else would I not let her drink milk because "we can't afford it"?

I don't agree with the other two at all - the Labour Party and trade unions still exist and please don't deflect your mistake on the Falklands by making out that I do agree on the other points.

I couldn't stand Thatcher but I won't say anything insensitive about her on the day that she died, so I would ask all Thatcher supporters like yourself to stop lauding her and exaggerating her as a super being as you may not like the responses you get from people who dislike her.

Unions weak and toothless when was the last time a strike achieved anything?, Labour changed due to the trouncing they took, New Labour rose from the ashes of what was left after they were shown up for what they were, you should be grateful!

I think they lost it when John Smith died in 1994. But agreee with your point.

It does make me wonder this thread, it makes me wonder who among us are old enough to have lived through Maggies time and who have just jumped on bandwagons.

I was 11 when she was elected PM and 22 when she was ousted....hated her when i was a student but have a grudging respect for her balls! Nothing to celebrate today imo.
