Having had a lover who went to her same school and knew her. Claim to fame.

When I was a child I remember watching a comedy about Margaret Thatcher which I think had Robbie Coltrane in it. At the end he's kneeling at her grave and her hand shoots out of th ground and grabs him by the balls.
French and Saunders might've been in it too.

Tell me this wasn't something I just dreamt.

I posted this in the other thread as well - but I will repeat it here.

What you know is right, Maggie? Or just what you are too proud, stubborn and pigheaded to admit is wrong no matter how many people, of however many political leanings tell you it is wrong!

You tore this country in two, you bitch. You bolstered the middle-classes at the expense of the poor. You sold off our national assets to carpet-baggers. They will need an armed guard around your grave forever to keep away the millions queueing up to piss on it.

[Coito ergo sum]

Yeah - Britain was doing so well before Thatcher took office in 1979.... lol

Were you here? Did you spend 3 years on the dole because there simply weren't any jobs? No. So shut up with your knee-jerk, right-wing response!

"There is no such thing as society." Thatcher, 1988
"There is no such thing as Thatcher."  Society, 2013

It's not -- it's just an expression of opposition to your shrill, scattershot condemnation by mere insult. My response was not right wing. It's merely rational -- if Thatcher destroyed your country, then it must have been better before she took office than after. Was it? Stats don't seem to show that.

I have to be there now? Be sure to never comment on any issue regarding the US, then, please, and never comment on any historical issue. Thanks.

No, I never spent three years on the dole. Of course not. One would have to really be rather lazy to do that. There is always something to do.

She won an election with a campaign claiming that "Labour is not working" and showing a dole queue. At the time, there were just under a million people on the dole - a few years later, under her stewardship, there were 3 million!

She sold off the nationalised gas, electric, water and TSB bank to private ownership and used the money to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. She also squandered the North Sea Oil bounty on the same cuts.

She quite literally killed whole communities.

She replaced a system where the unions held far too much power (which I freely admit) with one where they have virtually no power - what she did was necessary up to a point but she went much too far, much too fast and acted with neither compassion nor remorse.

The reason I hate her so much was her blinkered, refusal to compromise an inch in what she thought was right whatever the consequences for however many people!

She was a cunt. Now she is a dead cunt. May she rot quickly.

LOL - o.k. -- let me rephrase, then:

Margaret Thatcher? Spawn of an unholy union between Adolph Hitler and Imelda Marcos! She single-handled emasculated the British nation with her fascism and her general nastiness! She hated kids and dogs! She was pro-starvation as population control! She even said that smog made the air more easily breathable and that cigarettes cured cancer!

"Margaret Thatcher became death; destroyer of worlds." - Baghavad Gita.

Yeah but if you'd lived here in the 80s, you'd have really hated her....

No surprise Gerry Adams doesn't have much nice to say about her.

“Margaret Thatcher did great hurt to the Irish and British people during her time as British prime minister.

“Working class communities were devastated in Britain because of her policies.

“Her role in international affairs was equally belligerent whether in support of the Chilean dictator Pinochet, her opposition to sanctions against apartheid South Africa; and her support for the Khmer Rouge.

“Here in Ireland her espousal of old draconian militaristic policies prolonged the war and caused great suffering. She embraced censorship, collusion and the killing of citizens by covert operations, including the targeting of solicitors like Pat Finucane, alongside more open military operations and refused to recognise the rights of citizens to vote for parties of their choice.”
