EBH 283 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thatcher was a stateswoman, a giant. We have not seen many in past 60 years, good or bad. None since Gandhi, Stalin and Rooswelt. Maybe Castro or Chavez have come close, but Thatcher was bigger than them.Good or bad, the world needs less politics and more statesman.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Be interesting to see if she gets a minute's silence before the FA Cup semi. Whilst anyone who holds such a position for so long probably should, I don't think that everyone can be trusted to respect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is it true that it was predominantly her who made a stand and keeping a british pound instead of having euro is down to her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave30 728 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is it true that it was predominantly her who made a stand and keeping a british pound instead of having euro is down to her?Yer she did strongly oppose it. Brown probably deserves more credit though fought Blair who still thinks it would be a good idea to adopt the euro to this very day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm sorry but it's absolutely ridiculous for the government to just give her a state funeral. At times of austerity measures and massive cuts for the unemployed and in health and education it is ludicrous that somebody who was despised by so many is given such treatment. At the very least there should be a referendum.Good to see the smug old twats that run this country were spending more time laughing at their own jokes and experiences with Thatcher in parliament today than trying to sort out the mess we are in at the moment too.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hmm that's just bullshit...After the war there was economic growth in the 1000%'s - there was also a population shortage due to the war, so of course full employment was easier.I'm not the biggest Thatcher fan, but shit like this comparing Apples to Oranges is just bollox and people need to grow the fuck up!As with many people - Thatchers intentions were good, just politics fucks them up. I'd rather her be in power now, she would sort the fucking benefits system and give the country the much needed kick up the arse it fucking needs!Only today read a woman who has had benefits cuts wants an 11th child to get the lost benefits back - she doesn't work and doesn't want to - but I'm forced to give that useless scrounging cunt 40% of my hard fucking earned money! And she's 45 and expects the NHS to provide fertility treatment! Fucking Lethal Injection more like - this country is heading for 'fickville' all these pond life's breeding and sensible normal people who can only afford 1 or 2 children - soon Darwin will be pissed! Evolution! My arse - only the fucking thick scrounges survive - roll on humanity! Also mot of the people dishing out shit weren't even fucking born in Thatchers years! So they can shut the fuck up right away!Think I'm grumpy tonight because Barca fucking fluked it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBH 283 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Can you elaborate on this?I'm not going to question you for putting Thatcher & Stalin in the same bracket as Gandhi, Castro, Chavez till I fully understand I don't compare them for their policy, but how they could put it in practise.

DDA 9,941 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Politics is a tricky debate that I don't fancy myself in but I will say Margret Tatcher had tremendous charisma and a strong heart. It's a sad time whenever a decent human being passes. May her sould rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changingman_2000 876 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 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. Feel free to chastise, but absolutely no apology from me. In my opinion (and surely thats what this forum is supposed to be all about?) that "Persons" comments fully deserved the response that he got.Calling that Bitch "honest" and "straightforward" is akin to saying that Geoff Hurst completely eclipses Jose as our greatest ever manager. Yep, that stupid.On another matter. Why the fuck are we having to stump up the wedge to bury the cunt? If the Tory scum are so determined on this ceremonial funeral then they have deep enough pockets to pay for it themselves. Watch them melt when that is suggested to them.

Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 In case we forget..For supporting apartheid racism, for destroying the Mining communities, for sinking the Belgrano and murdering 323 Argentine sailors, for selling off OUR council housing, for destroying worker’s rights, for militarising the cops and backing their every crime, for ‘shoot to kill’, for Gibraltar, for the Birmingham 6 and the Guildford 4, for Wapping, for the ‘sus’ laws, for Cherry Groce and Cynthia Jarrett and all the many, many deaths in custody, for Trident, for The Poll Tax, for Orgreave, for Hillsborough, for Liverpool, for the beginnings of the destruction of OUR NHS, for her arms-dealing, warmongering, for deregulating the City and landing us in the present shite, for snatching kid’s milk, for ‘care in the community’ for ‘there is no such thing as society’, for her racism at home -stealing the vote from the NF, for enabling and protecting her paedo chums, Jimmy Savile, Sir Peter Morrison and her ‘British Lion’, for giving Murdoch the power he has, for her cuts and privatisations, for the H-Block Hunger Strikers, for the missiles at Greenham Common, for the bombing of Libya, for the first Gulf War, for Peterhead, for Strangeways, for her support of slum landlords, property speculators and exploitation in the workplace, for producing Tony Blair, for turning us all into prostitutes, for having a politics based on nothing more than ‘I’m alright Jack- fuck everybody else’ (disguised as a cod-philosophical ‘Freedom’) , for turning this country into a de-unionised, de-industrialised, commercialised, Americanised, privatised, wasteland filled with greed, materialist banality and envy, rampant self-interest and greed, magnified by a vacuuous celebrity culture peddled through shallow, prurient tabloid gossip- a shithole that depends on the tax-evading, casino-money laundering economics of the City of London, and a vast service sector that produces nothing of any consequence, where working class communities are reduced to living off meagre benefits and wages because the ‘job-creators and ‘wealth-producers’ , so beloved of Thatcher, can’t see any return or benefit to investing in them....

Badboy 1,526 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 She destroyed this country economically and that is just clear for everyone to see. Instead of looking at ways to really stimulate the manufacturing industry with targeted incentives and programs like the Germans did in the late 1990's she just dismantled it to make a political point. The UK could of become what Germany became in the late 1990's early 2000's much earlier... the phrase ''Made in Germany'' is a brand in it's own right. You can compete in this world if your products are reliable and long lasting just like what the Germans have achieved. If she had really invested in the engineering and science sector like what the Germans did then the UK would be in a much stronger position today.
