Thatcher being welcomed to hell. Not bad seeing as they both fucked miners/minors.

Why do all the Brits hate her? I know all the republicans here in Ireland absolutely despise her, like she was the worst person that ever existed, but what did she do so wrong in Britain?

The privatization of infrastructure, the creation of a graduate class, a speculative and deregulated financial sector, Rupert Murdoch, calling the ANC that was fighting against apartheid 'a bunch of terrorists' (Nelson Mandela was one of those involved in the movement), supported the despotic regime of Pinochet, covered up the police incompetence with Hillsborough, mass unemployed and a stubborn refusal to change from monetarist policies even as Reagan changed course. I probably left some out.

The closure of most of Britian's mines, areas such as mine in South Derbyshire/North Leicestershire still haven't recovered from that.

Oh god if they try and do a minutes silence in the derby tonight shit will go down.

Although most of the United support will be from Asia anyway.


I don't think I've ever seen so many happy people on Facebook on a monday morning.

Apparently there will be no minute silence at Old Trafford tonight thankfully.

To add to Jaygull's post. Section 28.

It would have been hilarious if they'd tried to do a minute's silence at the derby. It's almost a shame they've said no.

Isn't she one of your more celebrated PMs? Certainly more popular than Blair, as I've seen.

She's despised in the North and in Scotland because her economic policies had devastating social effects there.

Tony Blair is a veritable hero in comparison to Thatcher for most working class Brits.

What she tried to do Scotland is nothing short of disgraceful also. Maggie hated the Scots and the same vice versa. She will always be hated north of the border for years to come along with all other Tories.


Hopefully they do a minutes silence for her tonight and its greeted in the same way as she was when she turned up to present the Scottish Cup in 1988.

I really don't get it though. Let's establish one thing first, I don't like conservatives. Social conservatives anyway, they have this annoying habit of using politics to disguise their intolerance. I would never even consider voting for them while they have their current attitude because voting for them is basically voting against myself. Not that I have any intention of voting for Labour either but that's a different issue.

The thing is though people voted for Thatcher. Lots of people, it wasn't even really that close. Then she won 2 more elections with the margin widening. Then when she left, people voted for John Major. She did some harsh things, but hard decisions had to be made. The country was fucked when she came into power and she improved the situation. That's why people kept voting for her. I'm not much of a humanities guy, but I am numbers guy and you can't argue with those stats, most people thought she was doing a good job.

I understand that the people who don't think she did a good job are REALLY going to think she didn't do a good job and that's fine. I don't have any issue of that, she did some tough things. But when facebook and whatever else is filled with teenagers who don't even know what she did or why celebrating her death that's just fucking stupid.

Thatcher was against the german unification. Sadly, she was outvoted (or convinced to give way to ONE germany, whatever, i cant recall right now).
I give her credit for that. She´d known it all before...Would be a better place now if they went with Thatchers opinion. Cant stand the east germans.

So much hate for Thatcher here is misguided. Nobody here would want to go to 1979 and live in the politics back then and a large part of the beneficial change is down to Thatcher. She had tough decisions to make and she made them for the greater good. A controversial and combative politician was always going to be made a scapegoat by those who are unsuccessful due to their own errors in life. Also, she was tough on terrorism, which was a major part in UK politics in the 80s and probably the most important thing for me.

Out of all the criticism towards Thatcher, the both subtle and not so subtle criticism of her liberating the Falklands completely baffles me.

How anyone could possibly argue that defending your own citizens and freeing them from a junta-led occupation is a bad thing is completely beyond my comprehension.

KM's already on his 3rd bottle of scotch. Trying to drink the pain away.


At least you got the drink right. I'm indifferent to her. I hate the way she treated her own country but I agree with her on a few fronts though.

Blair is Thatcher's legacy. They are one and the same aside from the fact that Thatcher had balls to carry on being a twat in plain sight.
