Thatcher

[Brian Fantana]

Presumably posters who wish death on Thatcher must also wish death on Blair for taking us into a war which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of troops and civilians?

I think Attila the stockbroker has a song about the day of her death!!

I guess you had to be there?

I'm genuinely intrigued by the amount of vitriol directed towards Thatcher but not Blair. I guess because Blair's 'crimes' took place in a foreign land?

Blair should be in the Hague facing war crimes IMHO....but Thatcher destroyed the fiber or the British being...it’s a very long story which includes words like "greed is good" "the decimation of the pride of the working man", which in a way has shaped today’s problems. Her legacy will last for years.

Fair point. I'm not a defender of Blair's foreign policy - it was despicable to me.

My beef with Thatcher is more personal because she affected many people around me and obstructed certain liberties I'd held to be sacred.

Mogwai have written a song about it too

Truth. She broke a lot of honest families

And yes, I will celebrate when bliar dies as well. At least as much. I would prefer him to go on trial for war crimes more though.

The amount Saddam killed , the war, despite the terrible loss's, still in the long run saved lives. Freed a nation

 

[readingstockport]

That would be the thousands that Sadam killed using US, British and French supplied weapons and chemicals. Don't forget bliar voted against a commons motion condemning Sadam after Hallujah, so did thatcher.

I agree with your sentiments - and your grammar lesson.

One must bent the rules sometimes to fire out a point. It's fun to bend the rules for effect.

Bend away sir!

People generally care much more about home affairs, rightly or wrongly - that's the way it is.

Compare Thatchers selling off of the family silver and the winter of discontent. Doesn't look good against Blairs decade of homeland prosperity - however it was achieved.

Remember the Falklands?

Are you kidding... you think that after the ILLEGAL war that Iraq is free....where were these weapons of Mass Destruction? Yes I know he murdered a lot of his own people...so did a lot of dictators...Libya.... Gadaffi and Robert Mugabe ...we are no longer the worlds policemen...one day Blair will have to face up to his conlusion with Gaffadi and all the backhanders....Middle East Peace Envoy to Blair is like Cyril Smith to handgliding!!

Remember the Falklands?

The death toll was 907. The war was protecting, not an invasion.

[readingstockport]

Cyril Smith to young boys would be a more apt analogy tbh. Go back and read historical Private Eyes, amongst other publications, to find out just how nice good old Cyril was to the young lads in Rochdale.

The 'war' happened after thatcher ignored advice from her defence chiefs and withdrew a fisheries protection vessel. She was warned that to do so would send a signal to Argentina that the UK no longer cared about the Falklands/Malvinas but she overruled them, a descision for which John Nott took the flak to protect the witch.

The only reason people died in the Falklands was that thatcher was too pigheaded to accept she was wrong and becuase of her vicious zeal to 'cut' spending.

Their blood is on her hands in exactly the same way that the blood of Iraqis is on bliars.

I blame Thatcher... Oh!
