Time for another Thatcher?

[RicW 67]

I'm from the East Midlands. I've worked in engineering, shoe making, and hosiery manufacture. Try getting a job in a trade that doesn't exist anymore. I'm probably one of the oldest members of THL. I lived through Maggie's "Great years". Poacher was right when he said she has got what she deserved - senile dementia. Me, I reckon she was as mad as a snake from day one. Remember when she was Minister for Health and she stopped free milk for schoolchildren? The country couldn't afford 1/3rd of a pint of milk for wee kiddies. We now have the most obese kids in Europe. Yeah, a great leader. EVIL OLD BITCH. You brats who worship her didn't have to live under her rule. Likes of Poacher and me did, so just shut the f**k up.

Build a fecking bridge and get over it, and I well remember the Thatcher years, at least the country had a modicum of respect and at least when the tories were shafting you they looked you in the eye whilst doing it, not like this mob pretending to be for the working man.

A quick question, what the hell have obese kids got to do with Thatcher, lay that firmly at this mobs door, every childhood pastime banned by the PC brigade and fat kids reared by fat idle parents paid by this government to sit on their arse.

Who grew up in the eighties under guess who? "There is no such thing as society there is only the state and the family" Perhaps a little respect for society might not come amiss? I have no more respect for the shower of s**t in power now than you have but I know who kicked it all off. The mad old bitch elevated the individual over society and that is what we have now. Thatcher's me me me generation.

 

I'd best go and take my medication . . .

I too lived thro Maggie's time. Took 20 years to put right what Callaghan and his chronies did.

Only 3 people to blame for the mess the whole world is in today, Warmongers all, Bush, B Liar and Brown.

 

How long will it take to put things right this time????

[TOPPER 1,809]

for the record i lived and worked through the likes of wilson - callaghan and maggie and i made some good money from the coal strike s i felt sorry for the every day miners but they couldn t see the wood for the trees you never saw auther scargill begging at soup kitchens he was to busy living the high life milking it for all he could get it made him millions whilst the grafters starved now if the miners had told him to stuff his commie union and played the game things may have been a lot different

 

you can t blame maggie she wasnt going to have some weetabix headed little commie tell her what she could and cou;ldn t do the unions were to powerful then and now there trying it all over again by buying the labour party and dictate the terms well i am afraid this will never happen as the boy s in the backroom with the big picture won t let it there to busy controlling everything and i mean everything

 

 

and remember if it wasnt for maggie many wouldnt be owning there own homes now

Not much point in arguing over who was/is the best imo,because theyre all dishonest scumbags,like someone just said though at least the Tories looked you in the eye and stabbed you in the chest.

 

As for "new labour" i think they are the worst thing to happen to this country for a very long time.

Wilson's government appeared to have postponed some key economic decisions because of the General Election - and the Conservatives were looking for cuts to meet election pledges on tax.

 

The most infamous cut of all was the Department of Education's decision to end universal free school milk- taken by Secretary of State Margaret Thatcher.

 

But documents released under the 30-Year-Rule paint a more complicated picture of what the future prime minister was prepared to sign up to.

 

Shortly after election, Prime Minister Heath wrote to his cabinet, telling them: "We shall need determination and a willingness among spending ministers to accept reductions in programmes which, from a departmental stand point, they would be reluctant to make."

 

And in August 1970, the new Secretary of State for Education responded to a Treasury demand for education cuts in four areas:

 

# Further Education fees

# Library book borrowing charges

# School meal charges

# Free school milk

 

In principle, the minister who became known for her public-spending cutting zeal once she took power in 1979, appeared concerned at what the public perception of the cuts would be.

 

Responding to the demands to end free school milk, Mrs Thatcher said: "I think that the complete withdrawal of free milk for our school children would be too drastic a step and would arouse more widespread public antagonism than the saving justifies."

 

She proposed the compromise, later accepted, that milk would only be available to pupils in nursery and primary schools.

 

She told the Treasury that this would reduce the proposed cuts by £20m over the four-year life of the government and would free up cash for a new primary school building programme.

 

Best not let the facts get in the way of your ill informed rant eh?

Good quote, people fail to note that goverments have the legacy of the previous goverment to contend with. More often than not the conservatives have been handed a financial mess to fix as Thatchers government. The reverse is also true Major had the ecconomy set up and Labour were handed a country with a possitive ballence and then proceeded to spend spend spend and they still haven't stoped.

 

As Thatcher once said the trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of the other persons money.

Commie union that stood up for its workers and got better wage and working conditions and pensions for injured miners Scarrgill was not the n.u.m its members were and at least we had the backbone to take on a vindictive peice of shit like margret thatcher whos only aim was to destroy working class communities.

[whin 463]

which she did but the men never helped there selve alot i was brought up with miners and alot were not the men of folklore , so truthily in my eyes they should had got rid of scargill ,but we were not as forward thinking back then as now ,shewas a bastartd at times , just dont no what card she would had played in modern times , hopefully better than the ones we have now who bow down to any one at times and side with feching foreigners , she would had maybe never had jioned the eu as thta was abad mistake for us at times ,all he best

Might not be men of folklore but we had the guts to stand up to a bully like thatcher even though we were beat no feker since has had the balls to stand up to a vindictive goverment like we did.

[whin 463]

maybe as i did help in the strike , but i wonder if she would had banned hunting , thats all i care about the [bANNED TEXT] to hunt etc as most of my miner buddies liked a long dog and a ferret , they could ban every dog show chuck every illegal imigrant,out clse the eu rules tommorow if i could walk a stubble and catch what i want with freinds who are not as carefree as me legaly, i hate this politicaly correct susitey we live in at times,why should townies rule country people a feching sham

[twobob 1,497]

This could get interesting lol.

 

It wouldn't take much to beat what we've got about at the minute, and no one since Maggie has really been able to fill her role properly IMO. They've all been limp wristed wankers and lying deviant ones at that.

 

We need someone who really is going to be a LEADER, someone with a bit of passion for the nation and it's people.

How can you say she had a passion fot the nation and is people,from 1978 to 1983 manufacturing dropped 30% and unemloyment reached 3.6 million
