Margaret Thatcher Has Passed Away

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

My great uncle overdosed at a really hard time in his life, my family actually blames Thatcher for all the sacking and then unemployments.

I am very sorry to hear that Kojo. I directly blame Thatcher for the sackings. She put in a guy who came from a very feudalistic approach and he totally changed the environment at work. The lads who kept their job were worked into the ground because they were understaffed, and if they wanted to complain they were threatened with termination. The union busting of NUM practically ended any power the workers had. They were slaves at this point.

Not only that, but Thatcher's government also had power in shaming people who could not find work. They actually tried to vilify the unemployed former mine workers. They had us believing they were lazy and wanted handouts, and when that stopped working they tried to get us to turn our animosity on immigrants getting services.The people who took your job, and were trying to take your benefits, were trying to turn the blame on the most vulnerable of societies just because they couldnt take the heat.

I HATED her.......God knows I did. A lot of people got hurt by class and ethnic tensions she whipped up to serve her own interests. I saw some terrible things as kids, and looking back I know her government was complicit in a lot of it. A kid going to school beating up Asians because the government has fed him lies that its their fault why Thatcher wants to get rid of his parents benefits. Generations upon generations of hatred a kid wouldnt have to suffer if the government had just told the truth. Be honest Maggie! It wasnt the immigrants fault you cared more about the big business than the working class. It wasnt the homosexuals fault the country was moving away from your morals at school. She didnt even want us to fucking read Jenny lives with Eric and Martin! Do you know how benign that book was? Do you know what good could have came about if this false outrage wasnt created to take peoples mind off the fact that everything their parents had set up to create for them in a society was being undermined by a woman with personal vendettas against people? How did a woman with everything have such hatred for people? I'll never understand it. I really do hope they try and do a minute of silence at the Sunderland-toon match I hope they scream so loud during it that it shakes even her very soul in Hell.

Let's at least try and be honest about the reality of unions.

Nobody is saying the Unions were perfect, but they were hell of a lot better than MacGregor's shit.

Every time she spoke, she was using a voice much deeper than her real voice. Maybe by an octave. She was trained by a theatrical coach. It’s really hard to imagine what that’s like, talking in a fake voice almost the whole time. Many leading British politicians, if not most, have received some kind of theatrical training, e.g. from RADA. Nick Clegg is a trained actor, and boy does it fucking show. Thatcher’s viciousness against the lower orders, the workers, the unemployed, and claimants, was totally genuine.

Any young whippersnappers reading this, though, should remember that we eventually brought the bitch down, in the poll tax riot.

She did some good things, some unpopular but necessary things, and some very bad things. Overall I think she was probably bad for Britain. But public parties and active celebration just shows that the bitterness and bigotry of the left is far greater than any of the right. Give me Thatcher's conviction over Blair's Spin any day.

FUCK Margaret Thatcher

[dave30 728]

Make no mistake about it she was a hateful old woman, but the working class had a special part of the hate in her heart

Let's not forget that she herself came from a working class background. In fact she is the only Post-war PM, to date to have done so.

Very true. I have no dobut she struggled with self-hate because of this reason.

Maggie was the best UK had for the past 30 years.

She was quick & worked hard to master the most complicated briefs.

Also, she was honest & straight forward, most of the times.

Glad the cunt is dead. Only a pity her death wasn't more prolonged.

My home town, never, ever lets me down...!

I would have needed to be a bit older to understand what she really did when she was in power as i was only 4 when her 11 years ended and all i know is stuff that i've heard by people. By judging on how awfully run this country has been for ages, i understand that she wouldn't have let it get like this and when she decided to do something, she did it. At least she didn't pussy foot around and kiss bum, she did what she thought was best for the country whether that was good, bad, right or wrong, she was decisive and shit got done. The country atm is a fucking mess full of immigrants and asylum seekers, ppl claiming ridiculous amounts of benefits, criminals being let off the hook with petty punishments. This aint England any more, it's a filth shit hole full of scum. If she was nasty then fair enough but it must've been a better place than it is now.

Please, no need for the insults. We can't have that kind of language on the forum, so let's try to keep the discussion clean, please.
