"Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay.

And children who need encouragement—and children do so much need encouragement—so many children—they are being taught that our society offers them no future.

All of those children are being cheated of a sound start in life—yes cheated."

To be honest I've just watched a short video that showed the differences between Thatcherism and National Socialism, and I consider even this comparison a real insult.... for National Socialism!

Thatcher not only said to poor people: "It's only yer fault if yer poor" but she killed soldiers only for her political benefit and used so much the truncheon that compared with her ideology Fascism was a hippy movement. >:(

Respect for the person as mere person, but seriously:

poverty,


The poor got richer under Thatcher.

I've heard a lot of criticisms of Lady Thatcher but 'stomping on individual liberty and economic freedom' is definitely the silliest. Lowering taxes, assisting people to buy their council homes, freeing the market, tackling the old boys network of the City?

no, they didn't.

5. …but were the poor better off? Thatcher said she didn’t care about the gap between rich and poor, but rather that everyone became better off in absolute terms. So did the poor get richer over the Thatcher years? As the below graph shows, they did (slightly) before you take into account rising housing costs. The income of the 10th percentile rose by 4.6 per cent in real terms before housing costs (the income of the 90th percentile rose by 47 per cent). But after housing costs, the real income of the 10th percentile fell by 2.4 per cent — so the poor were in fact worse off in 1990 than in 1979 (the 90th percentile were 48 per cent better off after housing costs).

the old boys network of the City being tackled presumably.
"We fought for the public good and would have enfranchised the people and secured the welfare of the whole groaning creation, if the nation had not more delighted in servitude than in freedom"

"My actions are as noble as my thoughts, That never relish’d of a base descent.I came unto your court for honour’s cause, And not to be a rebel to her state; And he that otherwise accounts of me, This sword shall prove he’s honour’s enemy."

Public Order Act 1986, destruction of industries like mining and steel, destruction of social housing that has made slum landlords incredibly wealthy, slanting the market against the poorest in the land, old boys network? Drink that cool aid.

Terrorism and bringing down the democratically elected government by force said the Thatcher fan as Thatcher defended her close and personal friend Pinochet (lest we forget, coming to power by overthrowing a democratically elected regime by force) from facing trial, send troops to help our the Khmer Rouge and funnelled arms to her good friend Suharto, genocidal dictator extroardinaire.

Allowing people to buy their council homes without having the foresight to build replacements for them (1/3 of which are now in the hands of private landlords) is not exactly the highlight of her legacy.

Brutality, you might want to defend police brutality during the Battle of Oregreave and other protests, possibly Northern Ireland fun too, for whatever reason, but Hillsborough, the cover up and Thatchers victim blaming and support of that you will most likely find harder to defend.

I would also like a source for reducing taxes. I am aware of the Poll Tax and her effective doubling of VAT, but if you have anything else I'd like to see it.

And, on a final note for oppression;

"Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay.

And children who need encouragement—and children do so much need encouragement—so many children—they are being taught that our society offers them no future.

All of those children are being cheated of a sound start in life—yes cheated."

It's a very specific song from the Wizard of Oz about a witch and her...demise.

I dare speak no more, lest the riot police come for me in the night for striking.
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.
