@abhudson14 Then you should learn more about your country and about how any country works, I suggest.
I tell you one thing, my country was a commie dictatorship at that time and they were scared shitless of her and Ronnie Reagan and they hated her with very similar passion to yours. And with a good reason.
It's amazing that David Dimbleby and his colleagues in the studio kept going for so long with no signs of tiredness - I've been watching bits of it on BBC Parliament today and it's some marathon broadcast. True professionals.
Apart from a break of 3 hours between 4am and 7am, they went from close of polls at around 10pm well into the following afternoon. They must have gone through gallons of coffee during cut offs to go to regional updates.
the day that bitch came to power and brought the country to its knees the wores pm this country has had

Interesting they talk about Mrs Thatcher making it, not Callaghan holding on. There was a sense of inevitability about her victory.

When I was 8 my mates and me fought Labour supporting kids in the school yard. The next morning I asked my Mother if Thatcher had won. Happy memories

Fascinating stuff. I recall this programme very well indeed and the feeling of elation when Mrs. Thatcher won.

Yes, Thatcher certainly knew how the screw the ordinary bloke in the street while tricking him into thinking she actually stood for what he wanted.

And the rest is as they say history. It took 18 Years before we kicked the conservatives out in 1997...
History looks to repeat itself in 2010 as it will almost certanly be "All change"
However, I suspect it will not be a total white-wash for Labour. I suspect the Conservatives will JUST scrape through..Time will of course tell.
