the witch is dead

[The Plum]

Downing Street announced that Britain's first female prime minister would receive a ceremonial funeral, with gun carriage, military procession and a service at St Paul's Cathedral, in the style of the funerals of Diana, Princess of Wales at the tax payers expense. I don't think this is a worthy cause to spend our money.

they cancelled firing the funeral rifle salute mate they said they were all gona shoot at the coffin

good man!

for what its worth I couldn't give 2 hoots about her, or any other politician but I will accept the good bits from either side. blair was a disaster, but the good friday agreement & working tax credits wins him a few points back. Thatcher's 'Greed is good' policy towards the markets is far worse than anything she did regarding the miners IMHO

Mandelson I would happily meet in an alley on a dark night...

the miners had my support initially. I was 18 and at college in doncaster, the college, NCB HQ, Police HQ and courts are all in the same block. one road in one road out. picketed daily. for crossing that picket line to go to college I became a scab - for going to college FFS. in the following 6 months, I had bricks thrown at me on my motorbike, dogsh1t and bags of pi55 thrown at me, and was spat at on a daily basis - just for going to college, on 2 occasions on a night out in doncaster I was recognised and had 7 shades of **** kicked out of me for being a scab!

thats not thatcher, thats not scargill thats just ignorant thuggery

scab = Strong Couragous And Brave !
tin hat on !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mash guide to not talking about Thatcher

 

[Davey-m]

The Poll Tax, riots, poverty, record unemployment, people claiming sickness benefits more small businesses going to the wall than at any period prior to her rule, her defence of and friendship with Chilean mass-murdering dictator General Pinochet and the ruination of the NHS to name but a few of her achievements.

The institutionalised corruption of privatising the nations utilities so her mates in the City could get ever richer.

The complete dismantling of entire industries and the communities that relied on them.

Engineering the biggest transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest ever seen in the UK up to that point.

The cynical and immoral war-mongering in the Falklands for the sole purpose of conning a politically backward electorate in securing for her a further term in office.

Now we are in the next generation of children of unemployed sickness benefit claiming parents who's children are adults and breeding more of the same and then contrast that with the deafening silence as the banks and the City continue to loot and pillage their way through the nations economy.

This is her legacy.

I'm going to have my final word on this thread, you'll be relieved to know and it is a question to the people who have defended her, apart from the genuinely distasteful things that have been said about the death of an old woman.

Were any of you better off under Thatcher than before or since?

I was unemployed for quite some time during her regime, when she was ousted I was in full employment with regular pay rises. The Conservatives win another election and I find my pay rises have stopped and then made redundant, first time out of work in nearly twenty years. Funny that.
Looks like Thatcher has been done to death on here, so to speak, passions still run high when she is mentioned. She will certainly not be forgotten in a hurry whatever the reasons for remembering her.

a little known fact about thatcher and mandela, she intervened and was instrumental in saving his life.

Absolute fanciful rubbish....from another VIZ correspondent.

I think your lack of pay rises and redundancy,are probably down to global economy rather than the conservatives winning the election,and of course the banks have done nothing to improve the marketplace.Hopefully the corner will be turned soon and you are soon to find another job.

I'm enjoying all the haters immensely. the miners strike - scargill was as bad as she was and did as much damage to the mining industry, and lined his own pockets massively before during and after.

Mandele was a terrorist. Does everyone now think that Gerry Adams wasn't a terrorist? How else can you describe a man that leads and directs the armed wing of the ANC, murder people and bomb primary schools? It was he and his lovely wife Winnie that came up with the rather jolly idea of tying someone up and putting a tyre filled with petrol around their necks and lighting it. Short memories folks have when it suits them

she was a politician pure and simple - they are all the same, some are worse than others. Least she had balls and didn't give a toss what people thought about her. On the plus side she was instrumental in ending the cold war, ended the strangle hold of the unions which had killed the british economy in the 70's, and turned the country's finances around. Sadly she gave birth to tony blair, who finished the job off for her where industry and manufacturing are concerned and went on to to erode civil liberties more than anyone before or since.

She's dead so what, get over it. If the Haters had aimed just a small amount of the energy and vitriol they are now spewing at the blair/brown/mandellson holy trinity this country might not be the **** heap it is now

Smash the State!

absolutely totally right, people have short memories, very well said

GGGGGRRRRR sick of these supporters of Thatcher stating that because of her the NE is now a leader in industry, personally it is down to hard work that some have been able to get industry in the NE back where it was years ago. They go on how Thatcher brought Nissan and other industry to the North East, just imagine where the NE would be now if instead of closing the pits etc with the ADDITION of Nissan and the others. Don't think Nissan would of got here if there hadn't been such an outcry. And what else did the goverment at that time achieve, what happened to apprenticeships, it is now realised they should never have been stopped, we have very little skilled labour force left. And where do we get our coal from now other countries. She did however sort out the Falklands, think any government at the time would have.
