From what I can see, and i remember bin bags piled high in the streets and blackouts, the unions and its members took the piss and got ironed out. Get over it......we lost docking along the Thames lo

So let me get this right......she single handedly closed the mines, closed the shop yards, got rid of the car industry, liberated the banks so they eventually could land us in the economical melt down

say what you like about her she was her own woman and stood by her convictions and something else about her she would never have given in to pressure like blair was and allowed the hunting ban to be p

A question for the ex miners, do you put any of the blame for the mines closing on arthur scarghill and the num?

 

I got today that the mines used to run with around 18 to 19 percent of the workforce on the sick, not sure if this is true?

Wilson closed twice the number of mines that Mrs T did.

 

I can't hear myself think here for the number of people that are banging on about that old fraudster knackering the mining industry :no:

 

As I said earlier, whatever you thought of her, she was a mother and grandmother. Do you ever sit and think about what her grandchildren may think of hunting people reading some of the spiteful shite on here?

 

This is one of the subjects where some of the noisiest people probably weren't even born when she was sorting out the fooking mess that Wilson and Callahgan had left from the seventies.

 

It's also one of those subjects which brings out the worst in some people; I know of at least one longstanding member of THL who has left because of the comments and general lack of respect seen on this subject this week. A decision that I understand and sympathise with.

 

If you've can't keep your venom and spite to yourself, then say nothing. Better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you are a fool, than open it and confirm it for everyone to see.

So. No one is aloud an opinion in your world not all people on here prospered during her. Rein they can pass any comment they like if you dont like it join your commrade.

 

Not at all.

 

What I'm saying is that criticism can and should be tempered with just a hint of respect for someone that has just died and has not even been buried (or cremated in this case) yet.

 

I didn't agree with everything she did, but I still admired her for standing up for what she believed in.

 

It's easy to blame her for everything that went wrong, but the problems started long before she won a LANDSLIDE victory.

 

There are lots of left wing politicians that I don't like, and that I think have done irreparable damage to our nation. I would still try and show a little respect when they die even if I hated them.

 

As I said earlier, just imagine her grandchildren reading this. What do you think they will think of hunting folk? Humane? Intelligent? Respectful? None of those apply to some of the shite posted on this subject this week.

 

I'm ashamed of being associated with some members on here.

Things were always destined to get 'emotional' when the time came for Maggie to ship her mortal coil and become an ex Iron Lady, such was the nature of things and the legacies she left behind, good and bad..

People have there opinions Weather you agree or disagree Tell you what pal. Go to grimethorpe next wed stand up in the welfare and tell them you think there all disrepectfull

 

I would, but my passport has expired, and I fecking hate soggy chips.... :laugh:

 

I've got no problem with people not liking her, or thinking that she is somehow responsible for all the woes inflicted on Scotland and the North of England. As Malt says, someone as controversial as her was bound to create some discussion when she went, but it is possible to do so without being so cretinously disrespectful to someone who's hardly even cold yet.

 

All I ask is that people allow her family to lay her to rest before they start with the insults and lies.

To use the hunting fraternity in your point isnt really justified.No one group can be singled out when it comes to thatcher.She was hated by millions lol

 

This is a hunting website, frequented by hunting people, expressing views on a wide range of subjects.

 

What else would a stranger think if this was the first thread they read on this forum? That we're all tolerant, compassionate, humane people? I doubt it.

 

 

Anyway, I think I've said more than enough on this subject.
