It's not yet the twenty five years that most historians say is the minimum amount of time to assess the impact of something, but I was reading her speech from the 1980 Tory conference (in The Guardian's excellent series of the 14 greatest speeches of the Twentieth Century) and it made think about her legacy. 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. However, I also think she may have fucked us in the process. Her extreme policies made us expect low taxation and she nearly destroyed health and education with her chronic spending cuts. She also pushed us towards our debt obsessed economy and is arguable responsible for the political apathy that pervades our country now as Blair felt he couldn't go so radically in the other direction after her, and so just fannied around blandly making people think he was neither one thing nor another and failing to really address the issues people wanted addressing. So, where do you stand on her?

I really don't want this to end up like a Simon thread but i'm pretty fucking freaked out. I've been seeing this bird on and off for about 4 months now and we have these ridiculous arguments, we've split up 5 times in 4 months, once every 3 weeks I think near enough to the day. But anyway, about 2 weeks ago we had another 'argument' I told her to go her way and i'll go mine, I was sick of it and she's fucking mental. Anyway I've done the whole shabang, deleted her off Facebook (because I knew she was dangerous to start off with), deleted her number off me phone and got her on block on MSN. So yeah, I'd forgotten about her really until last Friday night when I decided to unblock her cause i'd had a few, I didn't talk to her but just left it on, she starts signing in and out and changing her name every 5 minutes in an attempt to get my attention, this goes on for about four fucking hours with no reply until about 11.30 when she pops up and goes "Oh your ex girlfriend has tried adding me on Facebook, just thought i'd tell you in case she's stalking your other mates" The scary thing is, i've never told her about the ex in question, she's either gone back through my wall posts to about a year ago and read the wall-to-wall posts or spoken to someone, but I doubt it as she knows none of my mates. So i emailed my ex, we're still on good terms, and she hasn't the foggiest what I'm on about. I thought maybe she's lying as she still likes me so gave this bird the benefit of the doubt. So anyway, after this episode I put her back on block and again, forget about her for a week. Then today I get an invitation on MSN and Facebook. This stalker bird has made a brand new MSN account, made a brand new Facebook simply because I wasn't online for her. It really really freaked me out, so I decided to talk to her to see what she was up to. Her reasoning was that she thought her MSN was broke so wanted to create a new one to talk to me again....... !!!! We got talking and she used the arl "Oh i've got a date this friday" line in an attempt to get me jealous. So I just went to her "oh yeah i've been on a few lately" and her response to this gave me the chills. "Oh yeah a few sundays ago wasn't it, you went to the pub and then to a club afterwards and she had to go home early" She named the pub, club, time, all sorts. GF, what the fuck do I do, I'm worried for my life I think! Thank fuck she doesn't know where I live (I think, I hope.... fuck!!!!) How do i get her to leave me the fuck alone but without bringing out her cuckoo side? And if you're thinking it's me that was fucking her about, it was the other way round, she caused all the arguments with her fucking weirdness. [/JEREMYKYLE]

How the hell has this annoying bint become famous? Not only does she make apalling music, she also looks like a bloke in drag. Absolutely fucking minging.

Absolutely dire this, and while certain players deserve a level criticism, most of it should be reserved for their manager on this occasion as he did not put them in the best position to win the game. We all knew how Southampton were going to play and we also know that they know exactly how to stop us from doing what we want to do. So why then did Klopp have us play exactly the way Southampton would have wanted us to? I suspect if we played Southampton another four times he’d do exactly the same thing until eventually we might scrape a win and he’d be like “See, it works!!!” That starting line up might be fine for away games at Watford or West From, but it was not what we needed at home to a highly accomplished defensive side that were coming to stifle. What made it worse how long it took him to change it. He's getting as bad as Rafa now with the "no subs until 65 minutes" thing. Lucas has been good recently and he played well enough in this game too, but we just didn’t need both him and Can in that midfield together, especially as Wijnaldum was the third member and he had one of his Invisible Man performances before he was belatedly subbed late on. Where is the creativity in that trio though? Then there’s the front three. Defenders all over the country must be rubbing their hands together about facing Origi as he just isn't troubling them in any way, shape or form. Doesn’t win headers, doesn’t hold the ball up, doesn’t pose a threat in behind, doesn’t link up with Coutinho or Firmino…. Seriously, just what is the point of him?

I was walking my dog in the park late on saturday night when 2 drunk teenage girls came up to me giving it the big one, pushing me and calling me all kinds of rude shit. I'd done nothing to provoke it whatsoever. I told them to fuck off before they got hurt but they followed me and persisted with it until I lost my rag. Now what the fuck is one supposed to do in such a situation? If it was two lads then it's fair game to give them a slap or leg it depending on how usefuel you are but I'm fucked if I'm running away from a pair of teenage girls and I didn't feel right smacking either of them in the face. So what was I supposed to do?

Doesn't everyone have an ex a bit like this? Tatiana Bastos stabbed Currys employee Ricardo Morais in the penis with six-inch kitchen knife after he rejected her sexual advances Lincoln Crown Court heard A jilted Lincoln woman faces jail after she admitted stabbing her former boyfriend in his penis with a six-inch kitchen knife while he was driving. Tatiana Bastos plunged the knife into her ex-lover's groin after he refused to consider a reconciliation and spurned her sexual advances. Factory worker Ricardo Morais was returning to work in Newark when the 29-year-old suddenly drew the blade from her handbag and attacked him, Lincoln Crown Court was told. Mr Morais managed to stop the car by pulling the handbrake and flagged down a passing motorist who took him to hospital where the wound was stitched. A judge was forced to halt the trial after one of the barristers fell ill – but Bastos decided to admit the charges when it was re-listed at Lincoln Crown Court yesterday. Bastos, of High Street, Lincoln, pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding Mr Morais, possessing an offensive weapon and perverting the course of justice betweenMay 21 and 23, 2008. Judge Michael Heath granted Bastos bail for the preparation of a psychiatric report but warned her she could be jailed when she is sentenced next month.

He has finally received the greatest of accolades in having a recipe named after him. A shoulder of pork, to be precise. I was watching the telly the other day when this came on. It doesn't matter if you don't speak Spanish, the chef is basically banging on about how great Anfield and Liverpool are. It's absolutely brilliant how highly thought of we are in Spain.
