@ chrissie & chollis 'Calm down, Calm down!' It all started with an opinion of a song. A great song at that. Can't we just express opinions without totally slagging each other off? It doesn't bother me if you two wanna slaughter each other on youtube but i do like to upload music to spread the goodness. I expect differences of opinions but can't we just agree agree to differ. Stand down chrissie stand down chollis ;-)

Bollocks. I know there's no point arguing this because everyone has their own views on her. She did what any Prime Minister would have done and responded to an invasion. She also destroyed entire communities just to prove a point to Trade Unions. If you lived in one of those communities at the time (and maybe you did) you would know why the feelings against her run so high. Why do you think people wrote songs like this? She epitomised greed and elitism and millions of "us brits" paid the price.

@vespagt2000 She epitomised greed and elitism and millions of "us brits" paid the price.....Exactly!

You mugs.... Margaret was the inspiration for this great choon.... celebrate how forward thinking she was in reggae terms rather than getting angry about her politics.

I agree up to a point. But there's nothing wrong with subsidising industry if it's profitable (as some were) and it's a better use of public money than spending millions closing it down and then paying benefits. Like I said, to butcher whole sectors of industry just to prove who was "boss" was criminal. Agree with you about selling off the family silver, something which made a chosen few rich. Thanks again for the debate, it's nice to be able to discuss this without a slagging match.

@vespagt2000

i can see your argument, I'm a Londoner and except that the City excluded us from the worst of all reccesions, I have family down in S.wales, your right that when a pit goes, all the local industry goes with it. the difficulty with the steel industry was that other european countries were subsidising major industries, where we could not afford to.

My first post showed my contempt for the sell off of the family silver, I don't think we are too far apart on this one.

I left school in '77 and worked in the local steel works. That steel works ran at a profit (although I accept that wasn't the case for them all). Thatcher closed it in '80; mainly to prove a point to the trade unions. I appreciate it wasn't just the north that was affected, but she destroyed whole communities (over 10,000 jobs lost in and around my town) and replaced it with nothing. Our respective opinions of her won't change, but debate is always healthy.

@skoopism From your previous post, you awnsered with exactly what I expected.

where you by chance educated under a Labour government?

[N15gooner]

@vespagt2000 Mate your coming over as a poor down trodden northener, you didn't have the sole claim to poverty, down here we had entire estates out of work, the streets of london are not really paved with gold, as for your comment that we were all working before Thatcher, like you said you had to be there, so where were you, during the mass unemployment of the preceeding labour governtment? it got wor under Thatcher i agree but the problem had long set in under the labour government

[vespagt2000]

@N15gooner

You're missing the point pal. For every person who could afford to buy a council house there were a thousand who couldn't. And as for paying dole - it was Thatcher who put everyone on the dole; before she waved her magic wand, people were actually working. As I said before, you had to be there. Also, I don't know anyone who bought shares (then again I'm from the north, so we didn't count). Roll on the day she dies - millions will party.

You bloody Poms-Always wingeing- Can't you just appreciate some of you fellow contypeople capturing a moment in time? Stuff the politics..Its over now,move on. from Ausie/Aboriginal/Scotsman/Engl­ish/American...Bill..too much blood.

[skoopism]

fuck off you,mug!!! xxx

[N15gooner]

Go and talk to your fathers and tell him he's a prick for buying that council house, also tell him hes an arsehole for buying shares in British Gas, Telecom, Thames water, hypocrites.

It was Thatcher and North sea oil that paid your dole money throughout the 80s/90s. Dopes

if you see Sid tell him daddy was a prick.
