Nobody is doing that though are they?..
Some have suggested that decisions she made had a negative impact on the country, I feel that's fair comment.

It's fair to say more people would have a job.

its also fair to say some people don't want jobs.

[Sticks]

People forget that the Labour government in the 1970's was so unpopular and things were in such a mess that the conservatives got elected in 1979

Then the then Labour Party was in such a mess, that the Conservative party under Mrs T won three elections.

The labour supporters here need to reflect on that.

Dont start that **** in here to take it offtopic.

Its ridiculous to say that those that Thatcher put out of jobs, didnt want jobs.

Consider this a warning to not go offtopic.

Youtube video

Very long but quite entertaining documentary on what was happening in Britain in 1984 for those who weren't alive then. Ordinary men were fighting ordinary men. Now we know Thatchers hardline was for no better reason than to show ordinary working people how tough she could be. God rest her soul.

its about showing some bloody respect for the dead!
all the bad mouthing wont change a bloody thing! it was twenty three years ago that she was in power!

[Vanessa]

I really admired her, even though i did not agree with everything she did. She was an amazing woman in my opinion.

[Harry!]

R.I.P. to her, she was a controversial figure who made some radical decisions. She will always be remembered.

There are some rather strong feelings on here and I suppose that is how this news has affected some people, even the media are finding it difficult to find those who have a positive word to say about this woman.

Always in our memories.

You call her a monster, yet you post a photo of a bunch of dead terrorists and say you'll always remember them.

I'm no Thatcher fan, but ffs... that's somethin else..

[Shaun]

I was gonna say that's the one area of hers I agreed on... changing stance because people were hunger striking would just be stupid. They brought it on themselves.

oh and the Falklands too I suppose.

Why is that sheriff? Many have stated things that happened, facts and or events that occurred on her say so in British history that have reverberated down the years and left the country in a shocking state.
When will it be the right time to say this... next week, next year?
I would be a hypocrite to say I agreed with anything she did as a leader, that is not a slur on her personally so why you chose to act so affronted I don't know.

I think Margaret Thatcher was never going to be the leader people wanted her to be, but she was the leader we needed her to be. If it weren't for her very tough decision making, we'd have floundered in mediocrity because the opposition party was a state and as shown by her three consecutive terms, we needed a strong leader. That's not to excuse her actions, but I think retrospectively, you can credit her with SOME positive outcomes in the midst of all the negative ones. The entire YUPPIE generation was her doing, Britain was very much an industrialised country until Margaret Thatcher started reforming the hell out of the country, as controversial as it was, she helped bring about some serious change. I dunno. I respect her for that, I think she deserves that much.
