Baroness Thatcher Dies

[Ian]

You mean I deliberately missed out Scargill's middle name?

Bliar, brilliant!

 

[John Benton]

I was being polite when I called him that Bri.

He has brought this country to it's knees along with his champagne socialists buddies, and now he's off swanning about the middle east as a 'peace envoy'. That's going really well apparently.

Him and that witch of a wife, Barrister, human rights etc she was coining it in, almost certainly telling his party what new laws to make and riding on the back of it.

Broken Britain, and we know who broke it!!!

 

[White Room]

One tough lady and gained alot of respect from other politicians, she gave the army a pay rise in the seventies and upped our danger money for serving troops from 50p a day to £1

Couldn't agree more John. Everyone is getting on Cameron's case when, lets face it, he's got years and years worth of Bliars **** ups to put right. Yes he could do with toughening up a bit but, he's got some mess to fix.

 

[John Benton]

If Labour had still been in power we would be in the same boat as Greece and Cyprus.

Labour policy has always been to spend, spend, spend. When that happens you're only heading in one direction. It's always down to the conservatives to pick up the baton when labour have been kicked out. Then they get it in the neck for cuts. Could you imagine Ed Ballsup running this countries finances. He was Browns advisor when he was PM and he's the bloke who sold our gold reserves at it's lowest price. I've said it before Brown couldn't make money picking tenners up of the floor for a living!!!!!

We also have to thank Meggie for soft serve ice cream:
Margaret Thatcher May Have Helped Invent Soft-Serve Ice Cream - Megan Garber - The Atlantic

my family suffered because of her hatred for the N,U,M my father was on strike for over a year, standing up for what he believed in ,
she ripped the heart out of our community
and i for one celebrate her death , REST IN HELL

 

[Rookery]

I believe she was against the closed shop rather than the NUM on the basis that it was undemocratic.

 

[nybor62]

oh so if the N U M had voted to strike , she would.nt have sent in the police to my town , using heavy handed tactics , bragging how much there were earning , and taunting the miners , lighting there **** with 5 pound notes, which i saw with my own eyes
maybe if them spineless lot from nottingham , had got a back bone , things might have been different, but know im allright jack sod u lot
makes my blood boil still

 

[Colour Republic]

So maggie get's blasted for what many say she bulldosed her way through yet scargill gets to do exactly the same without support and is left unscathed?

It wasn't just nottingham BTW it was much more wide spread than that

kettle pot black IMO

 

[Colour Republic]

sorry that seems confrontational which it really isn't meant to be mate

But so will the next PM.

I am sick of hearing so called politicians whinging on about "Our predecessors left us this or that"
They ALL come into power, and promise us this, that and the other.......but then we get bog all.

How many promises has Cameron back tracked on.
Come the run up to the next elections........all the parties promise the earth, the naff all.

All they seem to do is make a nice earner for themselves, sod the rest of us.

 

[Concrete guy]

Only one direction this thread is heading.

 

[CJ]

Thatcher/Scargill was just tit for tat.

They hated each other and both were too stubborn to back down in the slightest.
They BOTH messed up the miners. (Messed up.......insert swear word instead)
