She sold off our industry and spunked the money.
Yes she privatised British Gas etc but that's hardly selling off our industry. British Steel was shagged with Labour only keeping Steel works open for political reasons. You make me laugh, you moan about people believing the media but all you post is soundbites
Yep, evertything was just dandy when maggie took over. But as you rightly say Nick in the 80s things were much better, I am glad that you acknowledge that

Thanks Bin for that:
I don't think anyone could disagree that that was anything but bad for our society and still suffer its effects today.

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

People on here criticise Cameron when he blames the last Labour government for the s*** storm we are in as they claim he has had plenty of time (less than three years) to sort it all out. On the other hand, 23 years after Maggie left office it is still acceptable to blame her for all the ills of our society. That's because her decade in office led to the realignment of British politics and a shifting of the centre of gravity to the right, hence Blair and the continuation of her legacy under New Labour. Brown was unlucky enough to be holding the ball when the wheels came off, but the fact that the Tories couldn't capitalise electorally demonstrates that people know that we'd still be in the mire whoever had been in office, because (despite all the Punch and Judy stuff across the Despatch Box) the three main parties occupy very similar (centre-right) ground and are competing on managerial competence. We're stuck with this for years to come, unfortunately.

If you didnt know who she was but saw the list of 'anti's' getting their two penneth in over her corpse then you would have a natural instinct to be on her side purely because of the odious collection lining up I ask - Where does it come from, this vitriloic loathing? Anti-Thatcherites tell you that it’s because she closed down the old industries. (She didn’t, of course, she simply stopped obliging everyone else to support them.) Yet it must surely be patently obvious by now that nothing would have kept the dockyards and coalmines and steel mills open. A similar process of de-industrialisation has unfolded in every other Western European country, and the only parties that still talk of “reviving our manufacturing base” are Respect, the Scottish Socialists and the BNP !!!! RIP Willo Its not so much the closing down, its the manner in which they were closed down, and the population, few of whom voted conservative, were just left to deal with the fact that employment was ripped out almost overnight, leaving hundreds chasing single jobs.
The revenue from oil and the proceeds of privatisations could have been used b Hesletine to regenerate the country, but were instead used to fund income tax cuts for the higher paid instead. Edited by Moose (09 Apr 2013 10.24pm)
There were in the 60's and 70's no actual material benefits of north sea oil and gas for the UK. Oil wasn't produced in any quantities as the technology for doing so at the depth of the north sea was in it's infancy, and many many lives were lost in securing what little production there was on line at that time. Gas was being produced in greater quantity, but as almost all gas appliances had to be converted to be able to use natural gas at great cost, and relatively few people had gas central heating at that time, the benefits to consumers and the exchequer were, at best,at the margin.

she was an inspiring leader. No-one fcked with her. Except Dennis. He did it twice And we are still going to have to endure Mark and Carol for some time to come. Difficult to imagine how 2 succesful people could produce such useless offspring , who merely cling to their parents coattails. I suppose that's the upper classes for you,. . . .

Funny how the only people you saw dancing in the street on the news reports were hippies and dykes. Sums up her haters quite nicely I think.
