Margaret Thatcher is Dead

[Great Nepal]

The British revolution from what?

employment

The British revolution from what?

From being a functioning country.

Unemployment increased by 2%. UK stopped being functional country with massssssssssssssssive unemployment because of her!
Makes sense.

[North Paju]

Seriously, do you have no respect for the dead?

Why should I respect Hitler? Or Stalin?

Oh nice one there! I bet making a illogical comparison between two of the most murderous dictators in the history of the world to Thatcher makes you feel as if your point is valid, right?

Wrong. But please feel free to try again

[Khadgar]

Honestly I thought she'd died about five years back. Condolences to her family of course.

[Risottia]

I am general supporter of her having a state funnel as in my opinion she deserves it.

Oh yes. I guess a funnel would be quite appropriate.

[Genivaria]

Then again, it sort of is concerning you just compared Thatcher to Hitler, but look at who I am talking to

The individual isn't what I'm discussing, I'm discussing your nonsensical claim that anyone NSG hates is "doing something right", "but look at who I am talking to "

.......Nippon?

employment

Address my post pls

she made it go.
what she should have done is... NOTHING! she should have kept things as they were. we had huge coal reserves.

nowadays, cumbrian unemployment rate is 14%

But that's exactly what she did! She did nothing, she didn't keep funding the inefficient industries with taxpayers' money. What you actually want that she would've continued propping up these inefficient industries that would've over time become an even bigger burden on the British economy.

Answer me. Do you think that the British people should've been forced to pay for inefficient public coal company's expenses that it couldn't cover because it was so unprofitable?

It takes a lot of balls for you of all people to demand that others respond to your posts, Hippo.

Actually it is valid. You said we should have respect for the dead. Last time I checked Hitler and Stalin are dead. Therefore we should have some respect for they are dead.

'Scuse me?

[United commonwealth of ayrshire]

ok hippo, i'll answer: they would have no need, because the coal business was not inefficient. not with cumbrians on the job anyway

[Woodstead]

I must say I am not surprised. Her health was fluctuating.

I'm known for being rather anti-Thatcherite, but I kind of liked her human side, even though we could never agree on politics. When I heard I remembered what Frankie Boyle said.

[L Ron Cupboard]

Now where did I put my dancing shoes?

[Espartius]

I have mixed feelings about this woman (note: I am not Conservative and I am not a Brit at all). She had her successes and her failures; the Falklands War was certainly a factor in the Conservatives' landslide victory in the 1983 general election and also led to the fall of the Argentine junta. Meanwhile, the miners of the 1980s probably have almost nothing good to say about Thatcher - after all, they lost their job under her government.

Still, rest in peace, Margaret Thatcher. Loved and hated at home and abroad, at last you have escaped your suffering in this mortal world. I myself do not feel sad about her death, but not happy either. Instead, I try to respect her. She's just a human being, after all.

[The IASM]

Why is there an extreme negative bias to the Baroness, you should respect those who brought progress. Call me whatever you want she was a great leader, with a radical vision that would help modern Britian in my opinion.

[Genivaria]

.......Nippon?

'Scuse me?

Nevermind.

[Risottia]

I already spent all of my condolences for the victims of train crashes caused by Her Ferricity's privatizations, sorry.

Unemployment increased by 2%. Big deal.

I'm sure a 2% unemployment increase (and let's not even talk about the Gini Index increase, huh) totally justifies turning the BR into an unworkable unsafe mess.

I'm sure there's a logic behind that, but I'm not exceedingly willing to hear about it. I'd rather save clinical psychology for later, thank you.

If you didn't like them in their life, their being dead should be no reason to give them respect. They didn't earn it. Simple, valid point. You can disagree of course, but you can't say the point is invalid (well, you can, but you'll be wrong ).

Have no opinion on Thatcher myself, but the comparison with Hitler and Stalin isn't exactly illogical (but maybe a tad bit of hyperbole?) From what I'm gathering... eh, not really a fan, don't hate her. Sucks she died, I guess. Happens to everyone eventually, amirite?

Second comment: She's been in hell only for a few hours and has already closed down 3 furnaces.

She is not in hell.

[The Whispers]

Why is there an extreme negative bias to the Baroness.

Because of the last thirty years or so, which have basically turned Britain into a country with absurdly inflated incomes in the south-east of England and pretty poor opportunities in most other places?

I think people are confusing respect for the dead & not celebrating death. I have no respect for Thatcher, never will, but celebrating her death speaks volumes about some of the people here.

I wonder what the United Fiendly Workers will do.

[Individual]

Seriously, everyone babbles only about the British economy and forget all the civil liberties she trampled on. Also:

Which were claimed by Britain through the use of aggressive imperialism. Try again.

If you seriously believe that bullshit, I suggest you redirect yourself to the multiple threads on the Falklands dispute to see why you are incorrect.

Sorry about that. Checked some sources myself. I'm too lazy to find all of your quotes who objected to my ludicrous comment, but my apologies nonetheless if I offended any of you with my ignorance.

Yeah, I've always wondered why my feelings on someone should change when they die.
