Typical Scottish venom here. I'd dig a hole free to bury this Scottish idiot!! Margaret Thatcher had the courage and conviction to do the things that she thought was right. She put Great Back into Britain!! Modern Britain was shaped by her, we should remember that. Margaret Thatcher fought Britain's corner in Europe when it came to our rebate. None of the weak feeble PM's since her time in office would have had the courage to do that.
@whitesox889 yes she did, she put Great back into Britain! Britain's economy was saved by her but people don't give her the credit for that. Instead they dwell on the job losses from the industries that were closed down, as it was no longer viable to keep them open.
@spudsucker Ahh...sorry about that; I didn't know...but it's funny that everyone's already planning her funeral; after watching "The Final Cut" when I was younger, I thought she actually was dead!
@BJWhiteDrums she may have caused major job losses and destroyed one of the most prevalent industries {as you put it}, but Britain could not carry on the way it did. Britain was on it's knees and it was cheaper to import foreign goods. Hard choices had to be made and I'm afraid at the time of her Premiership it seemed more cost effective to close such industries.
@MrMdjmeredith I agree somewhat, but regardless, the one who makes the hard choices is still to blame, and will be hated by the communities she destroyed - rightly so. Whether the right decisions were made or not, Thatcher and the Tories are to be held responsible for the actions made at the time.
Because she completely obliterated the scum-sucking union movement that the leftists and our pathetic media love so much. She stood up to them and beat them at their own game.
They need to import this show into America (the British version though not a f*cked up American version... Because America always screws up fantastic British comedy). I love this show so much.
I'm hoping that Cameron does bring up Russia's human rights record in his talks with Vladmir Putin. At least then he won't be PM for very much longer if u know what I mean...
@Salladsdressing could you explain to the boys and girls your new and original research that has led to this surprise conclusion? I'm sure we'd all like to know. Rather a lot of us seem to think that she destroyed the coal mining industry out of sheer malice and hatred of Union power (something which the working class had struggled to have for over 100 years) . Plenty of coal in Britain but we now have to import it from Poland because (we are told) it's cheaper (?)... and the rest
@khasab It's not somekind of original idea. Economists have been on Thatchers side all the time. It's the people who hasn't. In a way it is like the theory of evolution. All the biologists know and have evidence that shows that it is the right theory. Although the public only supports it by a 50 % margin. Why? mostly because they havent studied biology and the facts that support the theory.
The problem with the mining industry in britain was that it took taxpayers money to sell coal!
@Salladsdressing sell the coal to who? The tax payers? and who says only 50% of the people agree or accept a theory of evolution? (which it has got nothing to do with) You run a country in a Democracy FOR the people, that is, the Majority of the people. She, however, was intent on attacking and financially ruining most of the people in England.. She was an anti-democratic fascist who waged a personal anti-democratic war against union power for idealist reasons.And that's what history will say.
@khasab Let me explain. When Thatcher got elected (by a majority of the people) the Mining industry in Britain had huge problems to compete with other coal companies around the world. It hadn't been modernized, it was inefficient and losses from all companies were subsidized by the government so there were no insentive to modernize or to be efficient. British tax payers payed billions of pounds to cover the losses of all these mining companies and Thatcher put a stop to this.
@Salladsdressing let me explain, you need to stop mechanically quoting your economics textbooks. By the way my brother worked at the time at Seaham colliery which was one of the biggest pits around, It was a highly productive and highly modern pit. You and your little economics teachers don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Yes, your brother may well have worked at a efficient and modern plant. But if you look at the entire coal industry in Britain it was highly inefficient and outdated. That's why they had to sell the the plants and pits for such low prices. It's not that there aren't enough buyers in the world. There are always big private companies with a lot of money. But if the pits and plants aren't efficient and don't make money companies won't pay as much for them. You see?
@Salladsdressing You only "know" what you have read. You talk about the government subsidising "all the companies" when there was just one. The National Coal Board. Thatcher had been planning this confrontation for a long time and if you want to talk about wasting money think about this: The conservatives estimated it would cost the country 20 million a week to run the power plants on oil, which they were prepared to do, when the coal stocks ran out. They discussed putting up t fuel prices ,,,
@khasab The National Coal Board was rather a statutory corporation that ruled over many different plants and pits who were counted as single corporations. They each had their own different budgets depending on the different conditions each pit and plant had.
Although this isn't really relevant to the argument. The National Coal board lost 1,3 billion each year by 1982. Their losses were payed by British taxpayers and weekly that's: 1300 million / 52 weeks is 25 million lost a week.
@Salladsdressing I'm sorry maybe I didn't make myself clear: the phrase " Don't write back to me you smug little twit" means I don't want to hear from you again. One day you'll grow up and get your " I'm an adult arsehole now" badge. Between now and then try reading " The enemy within - The secret war against the miners" by Seumus Milne (instead of mein kampf)
@Salladsdressing You talk about facts in the area of economics as if they can't all be manipulated to support whatever theory you want? And No, I was connecting YOU with hitler. More importantly, I told you I didn't want to hear from you again didn't I? What part of fuck off don't you understand? Or is this all a nightmare in which I'm stalked forevermore by a nerdy swede who thinks he knows something.
@khasab It is a nightmare, can't believe what I just read, I personally find it offensive, and to think I came here for laughs. Salladsdressing sounds like a jerk username, that's all i'm saying! Too much jizz there...
@khasab Ahh, so if the facts doesn't suit your view they must have been manufactured? Good argument! I mean, if you REALLY think that these figures are wrong just go look them up for yourself. Britain has a pretty transparent system so all government subsidized can be checked by anyone and also the figures are checked and rechecked by people with different political background so there is very little room to try and manufacture government figures.
@Salladsdressing to pay for this I.E. the public would pay, You need to do a bit more thinking, stop blindly repeating your textbooks and stop using smug little terms like "you see" and " let me explain". The last thing I or anybody else needs is a pink faced muesli-stuffing ecomomics student from Upps-a-daisy telling them the history of their own country, Don't write back to me you smug little twit I've had more than I can stomach from you
I thought she was dead until I met her when I was at school. The only reason I didn't get revenge for my northern relatives was because I didn't want to get thrown out of school just before my exams >: (
@MrMickroach Says the person who is basically insulting someone who said something two weeks ago, if I'm a piece of shit, I'd hate to see what you are...
@cewolfen Wel I am not a yankee gobshite who hasnt a clue about what he is writing. Look laddie, a piece of advice:- Better that we think you a cunt, than you write something and remove all doubt.
@MrMickroach Well as a yankee cunt lemme say this, I don't give a damn. You're someone who sits on youtube, spreading hate to someone who posted something maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Look, at least I apologized for saying it, not most people on youtube would be doing that. The second you buy a plane ticket, and come to my country with the intention to actually beat my ass, instead of hiding behind your computer, then I'll have respect for you. We're both hiding so let's just move on with our lives...
@cewolfen The power of the word is mightier than the sword. However I spend quite a lot of time in the US and one subject that is totally lacking, is that of history, most yanks just guess...like the usual yank shite about " handing your ass back to you in 2 World Wars" Heard that so many times and that shows a deep,deep ingonrance as are your comments about the Baroness. Howevere, I do know that most yanks know exactly who and what she did, sad the US has never seen her like as president!
@MrMickroach Did I ever bring up the two world wars? Look, for however long you have been in the US, it doesn't matter, as you don't continuously live here. Not all of us "Yanks" are idiots and ignorant buffoons. Stop following that stereotype, because it isn't true...
P.S: what president would you like me to view her as? I currently have a total of 44 to choose from.
@MrMickroach Although I have to agree with you, he's alot better than the last president we had. When Clinton was in office, we had a balanced budget, people just think that one bad thing he did was what ruined him. In my opinion, the man's human, we all make dumb mistakes. When Bush entered office, our money went straight to shit fighting this War on Terror, wasting our military and tax payer money on something we are getting nowhere at.
@cewolfen Clinton was indeed a good man! He had a house not far from where I used to live in Oxford. As for military budgets, did you know that the USA spends more on the military than the rest of the world...in fact twice as much as the whole of the rest of the world put together. Reagan broke the cold war and destroyed the USSR, by outspending them!
were paying for her funeral, what a disgrace, she treats the country with contempt and gets a funeral out of it. our other great leader blair gets permament security provided for him. there both rich enough to look after themselves.
@petehall1985 Mrs Thatcher never treated this country with conetmept, only filthy scum like you! And, While in office as PM, she never drew her wage, not once. Now you evil piece of scum, she worked for this country, what have YOU done for your country?? Let me guess, fuck all! You fucking parasite!
@MrMickroach I have worked in schools, volunteered in community centres, done unpaid internships with the vulnerable in society, campaigned for disability rights and against the illegality of the iraq amongst others. I am an active member of a political party, church, charity and currently run an online political blog. I think thats a reasonable amount for a 25 year old. O yeah i forgot one; I'm being approved to be a school govenor. GOOD ENOUGH? Shame you can't debate but instead swear & rant
@petehall1985 Shame you dont know the first thing about history isnt it? So thats what you have done for your country, satisfied some shame by being a volunteer? It is obvious what your politics are, and it shows what sort of cretin you are when the person you criticise has more integrity on her arse than you and your sort have. My 26 year old son is a doctor in the military in the sandpit right now, my 25 year old son is a warfare officer in a sub somewhere, and you are a nothing!
@MrMickroach I think we have to agree to disagree but I do not appreciate your acusations. you've mentioned your children's successes but incidently what about you? i have major issues with the long term social implications of monetrist, service sector city orientated policy from a women who stated 'there is no such thing as society' when her own party now preach the big society. and i did politics and sociology at uni so know my political history quite well.
just wondered what the difference is between my paid work in a school and variety of voluntary roles i do for free and being a paid employee of a publiclly funded army is?
@petehall1985 Let me see, you worked in a school and yet not a teacher, therefore none essential nonsense. Voluntary roles?? Let me see, you have some shame somehwere, and let me think, the voluntary work was paid for by us while you were on the dole. As for the British Military, it is because of them, that nasty ingrates like you have the right to be ashamed of your pathetic existance! Go on, now make us all laugh and tell us what political party you work for.
@MrMickroach if you consider a special needs teaching assistant is a waste of money then yes; don't worry about inclusive policies which are cheaper than special needs schools which cost more. Incidently I work, oxfam fundraising and continue these voluntary activities. when the school ran out of money i went on the dole yes, surely doing something whilst seeking work is better than watching tv, and the internships were self funded from savings. don't understand why im an ingrate though?
@petehall1985 You are an ingrate because you have no idea what Mrs Thatcher did and if you werent an ignoramous and bigot, I could explain, but I would guess you are from the gutter end of a council estate and have been indoctrinated that She was the one who took all of the jobs and made the por poorer. Wrong! But then you wouldnt know. Your snide inference about the military is noted though and I can see that thus far in your life, you have done fuck all for your country!
@MrMickroach so a degree in which i specialised in modern british politics ; 1970s to present day means i know nothing about the policies and things they did and didn't get right. i grew up in the lake district and now live in oxford. your comments on council estates are uneducated assumptions; i worked with and now volunteer in those communities. Her policies were about the individual not the community. I respect the military, and support un action in libya but iraq was an illegal war.
@petehall1985 Obviously, with the thought processes you display, if you really have a degree, then it is wasted anda "doss" course. Also, living on the BlackBird leys will taint your view. Yep, you take the dole and volunteer when there are jobs to be had, you carry on poncing mate, and commenting on those who made a difference, that is the right won for you by those in uniform. Mrs Thatcher was about the greater good, if you understood one fraction of politics. tell us, what "party" ?
@MrMickroachI don't live on the leys because I do paid work as well as my volunteering and pay rent on a private property in town with friends. Seen as your so sure of my politics I don't see what knowing what party i'm with is of any relevance. If you think that Lancaster University; rated 6th in UK and top for one of my courses is a doss then so be it. I criticised the legality of iraq, as it was not passed by the UN and based on unfounded evidence; see robin cooks resignation speech.
@petehall1985 GW1 was a legal war. The subsequent war was caused by a corrupt and evil Prime Minister and government, the very worst the UK has ever seen. And unlike Mrs Thatcher who is shown in history as one of the worlds greatest leaders, Blair and his cohorts will face a war crimes jury.
@MrMickroach at least we agree on somethting, i've been talking about the second one, thatcher wasn't in charge of the first gulf warl major was and blairs 2nd attempt was illegal etc. I'm 25 so don't remember the conservative wars first hand and history shows that the first gulf war was legit and the falklaunds was fine except there is controversy over the sub that was sunk.
@petehall1985 GW1 was actually Mrs Thachers war, it was planned and executed by her, however it started after she left office. Blair should hang along with his "worm tongue" media man Campbell. The Falklands saw no controversy at all, the Belgrano was a legitimate target and was therefore sunk, even its captain, Hector Bonzo says that!
@CapitalBhoy78 You started it you caledonian filth! Before you comment about things, perhaps you should find out first. Better we think you a jock cunt than you write shite and remove all doubt!
@CapitalBhoy78 The only drivel old boy, is from you. You are neither old enough nor clever enough to understand what Mrs Thatcher actually did, she created the silicon glen, and the jocks fucked it up by union demands, she created grant zones in Scotland, all to be fucked up by people like you of an older generation, and look at Scotland now, it is FUBAR. By the way laddie, I am from Aberdeen so I am qualified to call you a jock cunt!
@catscatscatz if you are trying to hide the fact that you supported Thatcher, why don't you just come out and defend; like every other Thatcherite cunt; the indefensible.
@Threepwoodist No I don't know, and it must have rubbed off, cos you must be insane, to support Thatcher, nothing she did was good for most of the people.
Thatcher was a great leader its thick liberals like yourself who know little about her ppl on the left always judge her on the bad side of things she wasn’t all bad she actually made this country alot richer and stood up to Europe something Blair and brown nor any of the other recent leaders would never have the guts to do she was a proper PM it seems everyone else outside Britian admires her as a strong female leader.
@charlieiscool1000 Everyone outside Britain admired her because they weren't in the firing line for her stupid fucking policies, that's why. Give me another prime minister that has ruined 30% of a country's manufacturing capacity? She also said "There is no society"; What sort of moron was she? She was a fucking evil cunt, that deserves to be burnt at the stake, and I'll happily piss on her grave when she finally dies for what she has done, hopefully sooner rather than later.
@charlieiscool1000 and we are still feeling the price for the so-called "values" she introduced; she measured the price of everything and the value of nothing, and this is now in hyper-drive. She decided it was O.K to measure someone by what they wore, by what car they drove, by the size of the house they had, the amount of money they earned, fuck Thatcher, she decided on "me and now", we would be better off with "everyone and always", fuck Thatcher.
@milesss100 Well i looked on here for some of her old speeches and, i dont know if it was the ONLY good thing she's ever said... but it was selected at random... But;
"the difference us is that labour wants what THEY want for you, and the conservatives want what YOU want for you.
Thats a nice sentiment, but she was the prime minister in 88' and thats when the gun ban was passed, which is the exact opposite of that sentiment. She was also subjugating irland... which is probably why they did it.
i could speed up her death alright, couple of right hooks to the head would be too good for her tho, should starve her to death and see how she likes it, fucking bitch!
@asubjectiveopinion I never understood how she could label the Argentine Government as Fascist when she was openly & unashamedly chums with Pinochet. Whether it was right to fight a war to take back the Falklands or not aside, I still don't understand how she got away with being so obviously hypocritical with regard to this.
@robsargent4 Yes, she called a self-confessed fascist, responsible for the murder and torture of thousands a "Good man". She would have banned Trade Unions if she had her way. That is Fascism. Nothing but. Perhaps because the public were taken in by her image, and the shite spewed out by the Sun, Mail and Express - as they are now.
It's interesting how people in the UK hate Thatcher. As a foreigner who has occasionally lived in your country, I can say that the only reason that the UK is economically relevant today is because of her policies that rescued your economy from going to the toilet.
@adi87tya Not really. During her time their were two industrial recessions, unemplotment peaked and some of those jobs were never refilled and her economic policies such as the poll tax made life very hard for some.
@KungfuCow5 Yes, but a lot of that was short-term blowback from the old system. The long-term effects of her policies were what gave rise to the economic growth Britain saw later.
@adi87tya Before she left Britain was on the verge of economic recession. Not to mention the killing of society and murder of so many innocent people.
@adi87tya . its very easy to hate her . Growing up as a ten year old at the time of the miners strike leaves a sour taste in your mouth for many reasons none more so than seeing familys torn apart through the strain of financial hardship. men who were mates never speaking to that person ever again for crossing the picket line you or others may say they should have gone back to work but why when all they were doing was fighting for what they believed in . 26 yrs on and it still hurts many here
@adi87tya well there is considerable debate among economists as to the truth of that statement. no idea myself, because I don't claim to be an economist, but I do know she was not a team player & hence not a very democratic ruler & I think she could be more than a bit hard-hearted, whether she thought it was all for the best or not. Many terrible deeds have been committed in the belief that they were the right thing to do, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they were the right thing to do.
It was a harsh time to say the least while Thatcher was in.... but it did build our stability... the galling thing is that instead of enjoying a certain stability built up after enduring harsh decisions while she was in.... our governments since have pissed it up the wall so we're back to square one & have to endure it again now. Here's the kicker....when thatcher was in we only had to compete (more or less) with each other in our isle's for work....now labour's opened the floodgates to e-europe

@khasab Let me explain. When Thatcher got elected (by a majority of the people) the Mining industry in Britain had huge problems to compete with other coal companies around the world. It hadn't been modernized, it was inefficient and losses from all companies were subsidized by the government so there were no insentive to modernize or to be efficient. British tax payers payed billions of pounds to cover the losses of all these mining companies and Thatcher put a stop to this.

@Salladsdressing let me explain, you need to stop mechanically quoting your economics textbooks. By the way my brother worked at the time at Seaham colliery which was one of the biggest pits around, It was a highly productive and highly modern pit. You and your little economics teachers don't have a clue what you're talking about.
khasab 4 months ago
@khasab
Yes, your brother may well have worked at a efficient and modern plant. But if you look at the entire coal industry in Britain it was highly inefficient and outdated. That's why they had to sell the the plants and pits for such low prices. It's not that there aren't enough buyers in the world. There are always big private companies with a lot of money. But if the pits and plants aren't efficient and don't make money companies won't pay as much for them. You see?
Salladsdressing 4 months ago
@Salladsdressing You only "know" what you have read. You talk about the government subsidising "all the companies" when there was just one. The National Coal Board. Thatcher had been planning this confrontation for a long time and if you want to talk about wasting money think about this: The conservatives estimated it would cost the country 20 million a week to run the power plants on oil, which they were prepared to do, when the coal stocks ran out. They discussed putting up t fuel prices ,,,
khasab 4 months ago
@khasab The National Coal Board was rather a statutory corporation that ruled over many different plants and pits who were counted as single corporations. They each had their own different budgets depending on the different conditions each pit and plant had.
Although this isn't really relevant to the argument. The National Coal board lost 1,3 billion each year by 1982. Their losses were payed by British taxpayers and weekly that's: 1300 million / 52 weeks is 25 million lost a week.

@khasab Ahh, so if the facts doesn't suit your view they must have been manufactured? Good argument! I mean, if you REALLY think that these figures are wrong just go look them up for yourself. Britain has a pretty transparent system so all government subsidized can be checked by anyone and also the figures are checked and rechecked by people with different political background so there is very little room to try and manufacture government figures.

When Bush entered office, our money went straight to shit fighting this War on Terror, wasting our military and tax payer money on something we are getting nowhere at.

Let me see, you have some shame somehwere, and let me think, the voluntary work was paid for by us while you were on the dole. As for the British Military, it is because of them, that nasty ingrates like you have the right to be ashamed of your pathetic existance! Go on, now make us all laugh and tell us what political party you work for.
MrMickroach 6 months ago
@MrMickroach if you consider a special needs teaching assistant is a waste of money then yes; don't worry about inclusive policies which are cheaper than special needs schools which cost more. Incidently I work, oxfam fundraising and continue these voluntary activities. when the school ran out of money i went on the dole yes, surely doing something whilst seeking work is better than watching tv, and the internships were self funded from savings. don't understand why im an ingrate though?
petehall1985 6 months ago
@petehall1985 You are an ingrate because you have no idea what Mrs Thatcher did and if you werent an ignoramous and bigot, I could explain, but I would guess you are from the gutter end of a council estate and have been indoctrinated that She was the one who took all of the jobs and made the por poorer. Wrong! But then you wouldnt know. Your snide inference about the military is noted though and I can see that thus far in your life, you have done fuck all for your country!
MrMickroach 6 months ago
@MrMickroach so a degree in which i specialised in modern british politics ; 1970s to present day means i know nothing about the policies and things they did and didn't get right. i grew up in the lake district and now live in oxford. your comments on council estates are uneducated assumptions; i worked with and now volunteer in those communities. Her policies were about the individual not the community. I respect the military, and support un action in libya but iraq was an illegal war.
petehall1985 6 months ago
@petehall1985 Obviously, with the thought processes you display, if you really have a degree, then it is wasted anda "doss" course. Also, living on the BlackBird leys will taint your view. Yep, you take the dole and volunteer when there are jobs to be had, you carry on poncing mate, and commenting on those who made a difference, that is the right won for you by those in uniform. Mrs Thatcher was about the greater good, if you understood one fraction of politics. tell us, what "party" ?
MrMickroach 6 months ago
@MrMickroachI don't live on the leys because I do paid work as well as my volunteering and pay rent on a private property in town with friends. Seen as your so sure of my politics I don't see what knowing what party i'm with is of any relevance. If you think that Lancaster University; rated 6th in UK and top for one of my courses is a doss then so be it. I criticised the legality of iraq, as it was not passed by the UN and based on unfounded evidence; see robin cooks resignation speech.
petehall1985 6 months ago
@petehall1985 GW1 was a legal war. The subsequent war was caused by a corrupt and evil Prime Minister and government, the very worst the UK has ever seen. And unlike Mrs Thatcher who is shown in history as one of the worlds greatest leaders, Blair and his cohorts will face a war crimes jury.
MrMickroach 6 months ago
@MrMickroach at least we agree on somethting, i've been talking about the second one, thatcher wasn't in charge of the first gulf warl major was and blairs 2nd attempt was illegal etc. I'm 25 so don't remember the conservative wars first hand and history shows that the first gulf war was legit and the falklaunds was fine except there is controversy over the sub that was sunk.
petehall1985 6 months ago
@petehall1985 GW1 was actually Mrs Thachers war, it was planned and executed by her, however it started after she left office. Blair should hang along with his "worm tongue" media man Campbell. The Falklands saw no controversy at all, the Belgrano was a legitimate target and was therefore sunk, even its captain, Hector Bonzo says that!
