About time. Glad the old bastard is rotting in hell.
The woman was a ******ing monster of the highest degree, and that's an understatement. Good riddance. ![]() Always in our memories.

Typical of the conservatives to come up with a way of knocking the changes to disability benefits off of the news agenda

Really don't think it's fair that people have been mocking her and taking the piss, the woman's just died for **** sake - Facebook is the worst for this. RIP.

No Typical of Our BBC News on BBC1 to Waste One Full Hour on Thatcher Alone No Local Lunchtime news at all And yet the ITV News did do other news and give local news. |

She was an enabler of bold decision making and I think her role as Prime Minister is important in a number of ways - specifically, she showed that women do not have to play second fiddle to men. She was a horrible, calculating woman at times but I think that if it weren't for her, Britain would still be a long way off in its fight for equal rights for women. She showed that politics wasn't just for elderly white men and she pulled off a lot of very... shall we say, brave... decisions that ultimately shaped the country that we live in today. I don't have much else to say on the matter other than I think history will remember her in equal measure as both a positive and as a negative figure, and that's the right conclusion to come to I think. An awe inspiring (in both senses) lady and one who won't be forgotten for a long time to come. Rest in peace Mrs Thatcher.

She was a woman in a man's world, I think she probably felt that she had to be a tough decision maker or she'd be seen as too soft. I think that logic goes some way in explaining why she did some of the things she did, though I think her style of leadership was often inexcusable. She's fascinating, I'd imagine there will be many interesting biographies written about her in the coming years. She suffered from Alzheimer's for a long time, I think her family are probably more relieved that the suffering is over rather than grieving, because when you start to lose a loved one to Alzheimer's you kind of come to accept what is happening very early on.

The only people whose dreams she realised were the better off amongst us, she did this by making them even better off whilst making working classes poorer.

Anyway people that were directly affected with her policies dont need to watch the news about her, the one sided news if you mean the **** thats been all over the tv all day today. I won't be saying RIP because I would in no way mean it, I have too much respect for both my living and deceased relatives that where negatively affected by the woman, my opinion on her wont be swayed just because she's died. |

The news of the Baroness Thatcher's death has also drawn reactions from some of her critics. Former London mayor Ken Livingstone told Sky News: She created today's housing crisis, she produced the banking crisis, she created the benefits crisis ... Every real problem we face today is the legacy of the fact she was fundamentally wrong. – KEN LIVINGSTONE ON SKY NEWS Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB trade union, said: Her legacy involves the destruction of communities, the elevation of personal greed over social values and legitimising the exploitation of the weak by the strong. – Paul Kenny, general secretary, GMB union Lindsey German, convenor of the Stop The War Coalition, said: She led alongside Ronald Reagan the escalation of the Cold War. She introduced cruise missiles to Britain and fought the Falklands war. Her arms deals with Saudi Arabia were notorious. Her legacy was Tony Blair who built enthusiastically on her record. – Lindsey German, Stop The War Coalition Last edited by Omah; 08-04-2013 at 06:01 PM. |
