Prime Minister Thatcher -The Mod Made Thread

[Imperiatom]

A legacy of slavery,

Source?

oppression,

By refusing to succumb to terrorism and the gluttonous trade unions who wanted to bring down the country's democratically elected government by force?

poverty,

The poor got richer under Thatcher.

and brutality?

What brutality?

A legacy of stomping on individual liberty and economic freedom at every opportunity?

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?

Hear Hear!!

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.

[Forsakia]

Too Margret Thatcher, the greatest of Briton's.

Yes, that is the same thing you already posting.

Easier, not accurate but easier.

*prod* Do you hate the working class?

Only if they're English

(On a side note, some of the more eccentric Tory grandees initially spread rumours and tried to hunt down evidence that Thatcher was really the illegitimate daughter of local gentry, they thought her ability showed "there's blood there").

[Of the Free Socialist Territories]

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.

She knows when you are sleeping, she knows when you're awake
She know's if you've been bad or good, so be bad for greediness' sake!
Oh, jingle cuffs, jingle cuffs, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride into striking workers!
Hey!

Smashing through the strike,
with riot horses all around,
truncheons in their hands,
shields on their arms ow ow ow!
Gay is banned in schools,
the milk's a memory,
what fun it is to break the strikes
and ruin people's lives, hey!

Smash the left, ban the strikes,
Poll Tax all the way, hey!
Oh, how hard it is to ride
on a privatised crowded sleigh, hey!
Promote greed, condemn gays,
Poll tax all the way, hey!
Oh how hard it is to ride
on a privatised crowded sleeeigh!

Miners Unions - the greatest threat to the British way of life.

While I can accept that the unions in the years prior to Thatcher were way too powerfull, do you really think that's the justification for utterly destroying the lives of large segements of the population, as well as leading communities into starvation through the strikes?

[Imperiatom]

I'm sure Liverpool, Northern England and Scotland would agree with you there - if utterly destroying industrial communities and spitting on their ashes makes a person great...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7952388.stm

Read this, there was a higher % of pit closures before or after her. Those people who believe she is the cause have no grasp of reality.

[Imperiatom]

It would be easier to just say everybody that lives in the South of England and/or hates the working classes.

I live in the South of England though.

Which song is that?

A song from the Wizard of Oz.

I love Margret thatcher is currently at number 10.

The strikes had to be ended, one way or another. The simple fact is that Thatcher managed to ruin the industrial parts of this country at the same time. There's a reason why she's hated by some people.


This may just be me, but I'd prefer to be at the mercy of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people looking for a better life, as it was before Thatcher, rather than barely a few bankers who wanted to afford the new Ferrari as it came to be after Thatcher.

It's pretty funny. They want to combat the fact that that song immediately entered everyones head and then people bought it then someone realised "hey, let's get more to buy it!" by themselves mass buying what is still essentially an anti-Thatcher song to demonstrate their support of Thatcher.

I hope you realise that song is satire.

All the whiny liberals laughing and partying over Thatcher's grave. It's disgusting and proves that they are classless and totally immature.

I doubt any one of the bums downloading the wizard of Oz song ever achieved a tenth of what Thatcher did. They are weak and irrelevant sheep trying to use a great woman's death to catapult their own importance.
Well, I've got news for them. In a year, when this is no longer front page news, all anyone will remember is how childishly the left responded to Thatcher's death. For all the humanism they claim to represent they have the respectfulness of drunk frat boys to all those whom they disagree with.

This is what people will remember, and ultimately it can only help Thatcher's legacy.

Most people haven't achieved a tenth of what Thatcher did.

I would also point out that most people haven't done a tenth of whatever Stalin or Hitler or any crazed dictator did.

Liberals? Lol, seriously?

Mussolini achieved a lot too. :-)

Just a reminder that most of the organizations complaining about this are either 1) One of the many caught hacking dead little girls phones and collaborating with corrupt police 2) Spend most of their time complaining about political correctness and media regulation before turning around to now advocate for them 3) Spent most of their time oggling 15 year old girls tits and talking about how they're big girls now and a 7 year olds sexy walk 4) All of the above.

Indeed. Most people are entitled and classless fools who have nothing better to do then criticize those who are infinitely their greater. Yet comparing Thatcher to Hitler is ridiculous. She didn't commit genocide and to say that she did is nothing short of baseless libel.

She did not directly commit genocide (thanks Britain!) but she did defend and protect Pinochet (close and personal friend!), trained the Khmer Rogues troops and armed Suharto (great friend!) while he was committing genocide. Which is pretty much as close as you can get without actually doing it yourself.

Can you just say labourites if you're not an American? it makes tories easier to spot - "if you disagree with me and my horrible policies, you're a liberal" is American, "if you disagree with my horrible policies, you're a labourite"

BECAUSE LIBERALISM IS ENTIRELY OPPOSED TO THE PRIVATISATION OF INDUSTRY HURRRR

I doubt any one of the bums

Was Thatcher your granny or something?

downloading the wizard of Oz song ever achieved a tenth of what Thatcher did.

By that measure they are morally acceptable human beings :-)

Where was the comparison made? They were just addressing the fact you're relating doing a lot to being a successful, good person.

Neither of which is true.
