I'm so glad that evil b**** has died. Worst thing that ever happened to this country, and now her protege Cameron is having another go at ruining it!

If there is a state funeral for her I reckon there will be riots!

Are we talking about the iron moose;)

Nice too have some good news for a change...would have been even better if the caught cottaging in the public toilets Blair had gone with her...:party:

[pgkevet]

Like her or not I still admire the woman for having strong views and sticking with them. Something had to be done about the stranglehold of communists and unions that had been holding the country to annual ransom for decades. She also didn't line her pockets while in office in the way her labour predecesors and followers did. It'd be nice to see the blair family accounts and trace the source/reasons for it. Even Harold Wilson retired from office owning 2 farms I believe.. and back then a PM's pay didnt stretch to that sort of sum.

The whole thing is a sham of 'power' and money making.. the one job in this country for which you need absolutely no qualifications or experience....

[dillwhacker]

+1 from me Mr. PGK.
I remember the whole country on its knees, 3 day weeks, everybody on strike, power cuts scheduled every day.
I wasn't great.

[KevDavies]

I was only a nipper then so cant remember it, And yeah I agree about her views and everything. Ive watched the film, "the iron lady" and it is inspirational. It still doesnt make right all the wrongs she did accross the country. Shut the pits, privatised everything. Yeah the unions needed f***ing with a big stick, they still do, but selling everything off wasnt the answer.

She's the only priminster who had ball's !!!!!

Having had a 12 month Holiday during 1984/1985, I have to thank Maggie for the chance to do so.
Mind you, it was a bit of a struggle with no money, no work, no flying Planks because of no money, no food on the table unless we scrumped it from the Potato fields or Apple and Pear Orchards.
We did manage to scrape a bit of HARD coal off the Pit Tips, but it was a long COLD Winter.
We also have to thank Maggie for selling off all the Council Houses at a discount to Tenants leaving less housing for those that couldn't get a mortgage. I understand the logic of getting people to have a Mortgage instead of paying rent. Less chance of them going on strike.
We also have to thank Maggie for killing off the Mines, Coal Unions and generally making a fantastic balls up of the country.

At the end of the day she was still a person, and comments like this are not called for.

Indeed so a bit hypocritical Knifedge. If you've ever read "Meine Kampf" (I have) Hitler also had some good idea's and policies. He also had a lot of loonacy and was indeed the axis of evil. I hold Maggie Thatcher in exactly the same regard as Hitler. Evil Bas*****.

Lol. Now where can I get my hands on 5 tonne of chocolate spread. ??

No need for such language or thoughts on here.

Whatever she did or did not do there is no call for insulting anyone who has just died. Comparing her to Hitler is also way off the mark. He was pure madman.

Maggie saved this country from going right down the pan (we were the "sick man of Europe" remember). Sure privatising national service was controversial and prbably not the best thing she did, but standing up to the unions just had to be done.
