To be fair, I'm not sure we can really attribute mainstream cultural and sociological changes purely down to political parties. It plays a part but only a part.

There are other large factors involved and looking abroad we can easily spot negative cultural equivalents in other countries who never experienced Thatcherism.

It's just an easy excuse.

Either that or she's some kind of f***ing genius who can pull the strings 20 odd years after getting booted out and while senile!

 


Optimistic as ever

Hopefully her legacy will die with her. We are still suffering from her menage a trois with Reagan and neo liberalism.


Exactly. Which is why the Lady provokes still 23 years after being evicted from No.10.

See that nasty unemployable anti-social chav drinking too many alcopops and holding a nasty pitbull?

It didn't exist in early 1979. But, by early 1989 the first crop were about to be released onto society.

And her three boyfriends aren't much better.


What a load of absolute rubbish!


I lived it. You didn't.

Doesn't mean your memory is correct.

The rise of the chav and ladette was most definitely the 1990s.

For all the hate espoused within this thread, does anyone think that any other ex-PM will have as many positive comments when they die as Mrs T has?


Twas early 1990's in truth that it all began - the rise in teenage alcohol consumption and the start of binge drinking from sweet bottled drinks marketed for young people - but the foundations were being laid well in advance.

Stop moving the goalposts.

I blame specifically this Alcopop launched in 1995 so mid 1990s. I based my intial 1990s on Wayne and Waynetta Slob's sketches.


No link but I'm guessing it is Hooch. No goalpost moving here. Sorry 'bout that.

Data fact from some watch society or summat: underage teenage alcohol consumption increased by 65%-ish between 1992-2001 I have read a short while ago. Hooch wasn't the first alcopop but it is the most famous from that era.

There are numerous comments about her attack on the miners but does any one know how many mines have been reopened since 1997. if they were so economical surely Labour would have rushed to appease the unions but they did not proving her right. The seventies were an on going disaster for the Uk with many over manned industries left behind by a new breed of industrial nations with a lower cost base that ultimately led to the death of industry in the Uk. She may have an uncareing bitch but she moved Britain out of the dark ages.


Medicine delivered too harshly but unavoidable medicine all the same.....Still, she should have let Heseltine have his go at Northern regeneration rather than view it as good money after bad and block it as she did.

It was all f***ing widgets in the early 90s, ie Beer.

It's called Big Business, stirling. And didn't Mrs T like to give those fellas an easy gateway to the UK consumer. It didn't matter what they selling - alcoholic drinks for 15 year olds? yeah, why not? Good tax revenue and a little contribution to the Party coffers.


Well yeah, but surely we're not blaming any significant ills on the rise of sugary alcohol.

A decade? What are you on about? I said at the end of Thatcher's time - 1989-ish - that chavs and teenage drinking were soon to be unleashed on society. Can't see nay misinformation there.

Oh, and Hooch - 1995 you say? I don't think suddenly hundreds of thousands of teenagers who were used to a sneaky half can of mackeson at Christmas and a sniff of Nana's sherry suddenly thought 'blimey - what's this new drink? Let's go and drink 10 bottles' do you?

They had already been drinking more leading up to Hooch. The big breweries do their homework.

hooch,known locally as pooch as it tasted like dogs pizz.
Definatley kicked off 1989-90.
Knew the guvnor of the cherries well.
He could not buy enough of it.
used to virtually live in the place.
the original pooch was being sold during palaces cup final year,to the degree it was so popular he gave over many of his behind the bar fridges to it.
Definatley the first alco-pop that made fortunes for its producers, the magners of the 90's.
also pizz.

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.
