Thatcher...

  1. 1. Thatcher...

    • is a heroine who lifted this country from its knees; one of our greatest ever PMs.
    • was a necessary evil; someone had to do what she did.
    • makes me shudder with rage with every breath she takes; she destroyed our country.
    • personal feeling aside, it's too soon to see her true legacy.

I smiled at the bit about her refusal to let Howe spend 4 grand on a new kitchen for No 11 

Apparently Healy's wife had advised Howes Mrs not to move in until the kitchen was done and the Thatch crunched it,  

"Remember Geoffrey we have to be mindful of public expenditure". No wonder he had the last laugh and savaged her in his resignation speech

Drove the shops before. The radio was somehow stuck on some London centred channel and they were talking about Brexit. I fancied a laugh as most of the callers turned out to be clueless bellends. Some fella in his 60s rung in and said the last greatest leader the country had was Thatcher. Apparently she sorted the unions out and got the country moving. I wanted to crash the car. Might have been OK if you were an affluent Tory twat living in the south but it wasn't much fun for most people.

Thatcher and Blair are the Shankly and Paisley of politics, and may Shankely the socialist strike me down for using him as a Thatcher comparison.

 

One took over when the country was on it knees economically and cut away all the dead wood and did what was needed to jump start everything. The other took the country onto a different level after all the foundations had been established.

 

It's unlikely that Thatcher could have done Blairs job and vice versa. Similarly most Liverpool supporters reckon Shankley was what was needed when we were dead and buried in Division 2, and Paisley was the one to take it further. Horses for courses.

This is genuinely the worst post I've ever seen on this forum, on several levels.

Yes, and now I've got to trawl through the pages of this thread just to locate it.  It needs more neg.

 

 

 

EDIT: For the record, Page 5.  And also for the record, after skim reading some of the comments looking for the above post, genuinely this thread is a disgrace.

A bit harsh, Hooch. London voted Remain, and many London boroughs have more in common with Merseyside than they do with Kent, Surrey, Essex.

Thatcher was largely a product of an ineffective opposition and a successful colonial war against a pantomime villain. Had Labour not been having one of its internecine struggles she would have found life a lot trickier, Hard not to draw some parallels to the Tories and Brexit today,

This video makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I still think she was a spiteful, callous bitch, but I now think many things she did were right: reducing the power of the unions, encouraging home ownership, tackling inflation, privatising some of the national industries.

 

 

Fucking hell, aside from the inflation all those things were massively shit.
