She did things no other politician had the courage for. She made the British economy competitive and thanks to her Britain didn't enter every little recession.


Apart from the time in 1982 where 3 million people were unemployed, something which continued until 1986.

And the time in 1983 where Britain became a net importer for the first time in modern history.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

I really wish you'd stop to read before responding.

You got a finger-wagging from the mods twice for not being respectful in your responses to one another. I couldn't care less what your political opinions on Margaret Thatcher or any other public figure are. I DO care about how you address one another on these forums.

Thank you for trying and failing to score some 'point' or other, have a nice day.

Not being respectful in this case seems to mean "Hurting the conservatives feelings for not grieving hard enough."

Well, I'll leave a quote by her, and you can probably tell my low opinion of her from it:

It's Supreme-ly likely that in the Court of public opinion, no one has the Clarence to be a doubting Thomas about certain comparisons.

Technically, it was also trying to end her career and everything that made it possible by ending traditional social conservative views, which her entire party was based on.

Without them, they wouldn't be the Conservative Party anymore.

Quite right, there was no need, y'all did a perfectly good job making that point before he bothered to say it. Though I'm slightly confused, I thought if we couldn't speak civilly to one another in these discussions, we were supposed to do something else until we could figure out how to manage it. Because that was, like, less than a fucking week ago.

Or does that little bit not count when you feel like getting in the last word?

Oh well, just another shining example of the professionalism and maturity of nationstates moderation.

I don't think there's been as much celebration and media cover up of a death since the death of Stalin.

Now we just need a Khruschev to denounce Stalin. Nick Griffin, anyone?

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

I think he'll do. Although someone who's not a foaming-at-the-mouth racist would be a significant improvement.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.
