Ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dies

[grahamw48]

Standard labourite practice - go back into history and blame the Tories, something I've raised many times on this forum

Yep, they conveniently forget the 13 years they were given to put right the 'bad' things the Tories supposedly did.

Did they reverse any Tory policies and legislation ? Re-open the mines ? Give the miners their jobs back ? Help the British motor industry ? Nope... too busy filling their pockets and giving each other Peerages. Damned hypocrites.

The only ones who liked her are the ones that benefitied from her.

In my case thats true..

[grahamw48]

Me too, because I made loads of money supplying home improvements to all those new council house buyers.

[andy222]

I have had my say on the matter nothing else to add. Put it like this I wont be watching the news.

[grahamw48]

David Cameron has just sent his offical letter to the Thatcher residence.

It starts "I regret to inform you that due to recent events you now have too many bedrooms..." .

[les_taxi]

Yes we are all benefiting from the Legacy of labour now (oh benefits their fav word too)

You forgot to mention that the working class party also spent 13 years deregulating and sucking up to the evil bankers in the City of London

[imagine]

she dangled the carrots in front of the working man, appearing to give them something but really she took everything else away, too bad the carrots didnt help them to see the 666 on her forehead, the following labour gov was a bunch of usless waste, but even if they were any good how could any gov put right what she had done in all her years in office, 50 yrs never mind 13 would never fix the damage,
good riddance maggie enjoy hell

There's only one Maggie Thatcher !

Alas ... ... not NOW, there ain't ... she's GONE ... been "shot of" by a "stroke of good luck" (for her opponents).

[grahamw48]

First Jimmy Saville and now Margaret Thatcher ......great news for the minors !!!!

Oh well ... I believe there's to be a private cremation ... ... so maybe that'll help the miners!!!

[joebloggs]

I see Ken Livingstone has just been on Sky blaming Thatcher for the housing problems today? ... maybe he should blame the state of the roads on the Romans as well

it's true sold more than 1 million off, and ere built well, virtually 0 !



it dropped from 75,000 council houses being built a year when she came to power to virtually 0 when she was booted out.

No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It's all inclusive - the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind

Bulingdon boy Osborne cuts the top rate of tax for the rich, while cutting benefits to the poor and low paid

George Osborne mounts fierce defence of 'essential' cut in top tax

Have all the huge Labour run councils in cities and metropolitan areas up North stopped building Council houses Joe ?

[Arthur Little]

Jimmy Saville and Margaret Thatcher ......

... come to think of it ... weren't the two of THEM great pals at one stage?

[imagine]

the only one good thing about maggie, nice legs

the best thing she ever did for this country , cease to exist

[joebloggs]

yes looks like since thatcher came to power , up norf and down south have not built any, maybe because they didn't have any money to, after all she sold the family silver off and yes brown sold the gold

[Arthur Little]

Think this topic is gonna is going to split members (pardon the pun) lol

Thatcher?

Hmm ... ... you could be right, Les ... in which case, serious consideration might need to be given to including the 'Iron Lady' among forbidden topics for discussion!

[les_taxi]

I'm right and that's how I'm leaving it lol
Footie on soon

[Arthur Little]

... I really NEED to "get a life" ... ALL of MY posts thus far today have centred around the death of Baroness Thatcher!

Under Labour these councils were free to rake in as much council tax as they wanted - I'd have expected the Northern labour strongholds to be throwing some of it back towards their voters and building shed loads of houses. Then again they gave all the existing houses to immigrants and so called "asylum seekers" in the great multiculturalism and vote rigging project.

[joebloggs]

thatcher sold everything 'British' off, more than labour ever did

Exactly.

[joebloggs]

I'm not an asylum seeker and i don't think I'm an immigrant, i was born here

she was no churchill

The only time in my life I felt more British than any other time was during the Falklands War.... since then it's just gone downhill with a bunch of EW bum hole lickers running the country.

'I'm not concerned with Diplomacy...I'm concerned with fighting terrorism'.

- Margaret Thatcher.

Come back, we need you.

I can just see her putting up with these convicted foreign terrorists living amongst us, and all this 'human rights' nonsense.

No Surrender

Which one is Thatcher?

[grahamw48]

(Just watching the Jon Snow programme about her on CH4).

[imagine]

Which one is Thatcher?

the one with balls

[Ako Si Jamie]

She fought for the minority not the majority and thus can't be classed as a great leader. Both her and Tony Blair have screwed up this country.
