MAGGIE THATCHER STEPPED DOWN ON THIS DAY IN 1990

Wed Nov 23, 2011 8:18 pm

For those who where old enough to remember , what was the reaction to her f*cking off from Downing Street, not football related i know but just wanted to get a feel to how much hate there was for this woman, or did anyone like her ?

What a legacy she left ripped the guts out of manufactoring in UK
Sold of BT/British Gas/Water and the rich got richer out of the sell off
Smashed the steel works and mines in this country shutting down whole communities, we are left as a call centre haven
She deserves to die in pain, as many have done due to her draconian policies

The run up to Maggie leaving No 10 was quite amusing in a way, as you could see John Major and all positioning to takeover even though she thought she had their undying loyalty, typical treturous Tories :roll:

I can remember her crying in the back of a ministrial car as she left Dowing Street and laughing my cock off.

Having lived through the Thatcher years I simply cannot discribe how much I hate that bitch.

It is only now that the change from a manafacturing economy to a service economy (Thatcher's big idea to break the Unions) is begining to really tell. We no longer produce any goods and our biggest export is fresh air as the cargo containers leave our ports empty on their return trips to China and the Far East.

Germany on the other hand has continued to produce goods for export (Audi, BMW, VW etc) and is cash rich and doesn't need to borrow money like we do in order to make ends meet.

One day our inability to manafacture our own goods will come back to bite us on the arse and that day is not far away as the banks are bound to fail again and we have no way of bailing them out again.

She did not 'step down'. The Tory party got rid of her. She had become a liability for them. Read the part of Alan Clark's diaries entitled 'The Fall of Thatcher'. They are totally ruthless, even with their own. Night of the long knives.

Yes, when I read the title of this thread a smile appeared on my face. I pissed myself too watching her sobbing. And her departure was made ever so sweeter because she was stabbed well and truley in the back by her own best Tory friends. I hadn't laughed so much since I saw the Tory's being blown up in Brighton. The scene of Norman Tebbit in his gymjams under all the rubble - brilliant!! Worst part though, is they said if Thatcher had been on the toilet then she would have been blown up too. Can you imagine? Her sitting there squeezing one out, viens sticking out on her forehead and BANG! :lol:

I like seeing Thatcher on the news now, it makes my day. She's a dribbling old wreck now :lol: long may it continue. I hope they leave her to suffer weeing and shitting herself for years to come. Hopefully she'll end up in one of those carehomes that she started where they throw you down the stairs and wipe your arse with a brillo pad. :lol: She'll be around for a long while yet, not even Satan himself wants that old cow near him.

In time Berwyn i think tony blair will be held in the same contempt as history will tell he jumped into bed with george bush and manufactured evidence to ensure our troops went into afghanistan and iraq and whilst our brave soldiers( city fans amongst them) are being killed almost daily he is reaping the rewards of the after dinner speaking and directorships afforded him by the good old US of A for his loyalty and treachery to the citizens of this country

ill agree with you with regards of Iraq but with Afghanistan your way off the mark
but i believe in years to come the names Blair and Hitler will become synonymous with destroying citizens civil liberties while their citizens praised them for it.

All very well, but can someone tell me why you all thate Thatcher so much?
The Falklands war, the miner strikes?

i cant see how anyone can hate Thatcher for the Falklands war, the Falkland Islands is a British territory which was invaded and she took a stand where a lot of politicians would have easily let the Argentinians take the Falklands
but how she bastardised British trade and ruined communities not only in Wales but in the North East didnt exactly win her many fans

To be honest, I don't know that much of Thatcher and the time she was the British prime minister. So I'm not opinionated, only sincerely interested. But what did she do exactly then? Is it about the mine closures?

well before Thatcher made her Privatisation policy in 1983 most of Britains large industry such as mining and steel making was owned and controlled by the Public Sector, which she very quickly sold to the private sector
this was met with great resistance from Trade Unions which saw the closure of in the governments view 'unprofitable sectors of the industry' as ruining whole sectors of the country destroyed and millions left without work.
there are huge arguments for and against
on the side of the government they made the country £29 billion and a further £18 billion from the sale of council houses
on the side of the Unions and Workforce turned profitable industries and hard working and proud areas of this country instantly into areas of abject poverty and an unemployable workforce with a skill level that was no longer required.
more interestingly in modern times in 1986 Thatcher lifted controls on the London Stock Exchange and allowed banks to trade as they wish which in my opinion started the downward spiral to where we are now in recession (though no government since Thatcher reinstated the government controls)
Now im 26 born in 1984 so i understand this from what ive read in history books and from what ive heard from my fathers generation. So if ive got anything wrong please correct me.

Yes, it was a very short term view by her back then. She cashed in on anything that could be sold. All the UK's assets are now gone, yes she made a lot of money back then but how much as it cost since? The people she put out of work has cost way more than what she made alone. Turning tax payers in to benfit claimers. British made used to mean something. Now it means nothing. Even Roll Royce is now German. Marks and Spencer, Burbury, and brands like that are now made by slave kids in China on probably the same production lines as the fake ones.

Energy has gone mental without any controls or competition they are free to throw the prices sky high, with all the profits going to foreign share holders rather than be fed back in to the system here in the UK.

She also destroyed our transport system. We used to have a council run bus service that was non-profit. It was reliable, on time, all day, and at the right price. She allowed others to run the bus routes, which rogue companies took advantage of. Once these rogue operators had killed off the council service they then cherry picked the times and routes and today we have a bus service which is unusable.

Iraq was a lie. An out and out lie. Blair should be imprisoned for it.

Exactly where did I say Labour have done well, please enlighten me where did I say that? Oh and by the way consecutive governments Tory Libdems(closet tories) and Labour have raided pensions. You say Public sector employees are you saying that we now employ too many nurses???
