Forums Forums National News Margaret Thatcher died Monday following a stroke

If you read my post I havent denied you your democratic right and privilage to vote for whom you like,what I critised was the mealy mouthed comments "Iam not a tory but" by all means comment how you like but put it under the right banner all those that wish to test the lay of the land usually start with the words eg: Iam not but, I have sympathy for her family and friends for their loss but that doesnt detract from the fact that all in all she was a nasty vicious woman who believed only her and her kind have the right to wave the union flag and represent and rule Great Britain,its the working class of this country that have paid the biggest part of the butchers bill in all the wars we have fought and still do today, the Falklands her claim to fame was a cigarette paper away from failure, touch and go, yes indeed she had no fear in sending someone elses sons to claim her third term in government, it was okay to gamble with somebody elses life.God forbid any more oaps die this winter because they cant afford to keep warm while the utilities she sold off rake in the profits, and yes I speak only for myself in support of nickleg it is quite disingenious of you to imply otherwise.

If you're not a Socialist at 21 you have no heart. Still be a Socialist at 41 and you have no brain. Can't remember who said it.

Casper:
The Falklands War was in 1982 her first term in office, 30 yrs ago. Very sadly, lives were lost and that unfortunately is what happens in wars.Did you know anyone who served in the Falklands war?
Most recently of course we all know the 'fame' surrounding the blood bath in Iraq.
Croatia,Bosnia and Afghanistan all during the term of Mr.Blair. Far more lives lost in those wars. So why is that not an issue?
Poland was another example of her on the world stage and the Cold Was was diffused by her and Prsident Reagan along with the Russia President of the day.
I;m afraid the issue of us tory pensioners not being able to keep warm, can hardly be blamed on her.We couldn't keep warm during the winter of the miners strikes either

just trying to lighten the mood and sick of people defending her and what she done to most of country, we all have an opinion on her and I happen to agree with these.

Its funny how the goverment is making all these cut backs, redundancies,etc the the normal working class people struggling to pay the bills and survive.Yet they can find 10 million for the cost of the funeral

No state funeral for Maggie Thatcher
please sign,
why should the tax payers have to fork out £8m so she can have a state funeral, if her family cannot afford to pay for her funeral, let her have a paupers one.

Probably not. This seems to have come up as a replacement.

30 years on, we could be a mini North Vietnam....great! The children of today and tomorrow will love the transition period. Just a little like one of those computer games, but for real.Doubt I will be here,nor will all the Tories from the old days be here but could have possibly been shot for bad behaviour. That's when all will sing( No dancing.Not allowed) in unison..bring back Maggie!!!! they will also be shot!

Why are you all still contributing to this thread?? Pointless, waste of time in my opinion. Bicker bicker squabble squabble.

Either come to the Party (St Georges Hall at 6pm on Thatchers funeral)or don't.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead but Thatherism lives on.Horrible cow. I, personally hope that she Rots in Hell.

and £10m on security!!!!

Signed and shared Rotty

yes rudebox, it's very strange how austerity has been forgotten and this huge sum of money can be found for her funeral. Cameron and Osborne should hang their heads in shame.

Because we can!

Fair do's Granny. Carry on......

governments have billions of pounds in reserve,but like any good housewife you dont spend the lot in one go you budget for things you keep a reserve for events.this is why you have low inflation,yes the "working class" get hit the most because there is more of them and they cost more to service(nhs,benefits etc)
the country is not skint it just as to start reining in its expenditure

I remember sitting at the tea table under candle light`in the kitchen we had two 12v bulbs stuck on a strip of wood powered off a car battery my Dad knocked together.

Auther Scargill .. Surely he has to account for some of the misery .. I wonder if the miners had had the good fortune of somebody else to represent them` if things would of turned out any better instead of striking and forcing the country to buy cheap coal else where? in doing so speeding up the process of closing of all pits

He won`t speak of the strikes ..

Lets face it to many strikes not just Coal miners but every where .. they had to stop!

Yes I am well aware of when the Falklands war was,as I said all the jingoism, god save the Queen etc was capitalised upon by thatcher and there is no doubt and it is well documented that this helped her win a second term in parliament, as to your point about people do die in wars, you are quite correct the point I was making was about the posing with the armed forces on as many occassions as possible to make political gain, I noticed she never appeared with the casulties of that war who were not allowed to parade in their uniforms in maggies celebrations in case it had a negative effect on her propaganda.
I see you also deny her part in selling off of the utilities to the lowest bidders and the blatant profiteering that goes on today by the energy companies all part and parcel of thatcherism the tory ethos sell sell sell but make sure you buy your shares, get in there boys kerching,the search and rescue kerching, our armed forces will be next hired out to fight someone elses war,as you say granny how you vote is your business,but I could'nt with all honesty vote for some of the vermin that purport to run this country eg: IDS trying to claim £9 for a cocktail on expenses,looking at trying to lower the minimum wage I could go on and on but Iam sure you get the gist, in the unlikely event they win another term the oap will be targeted so start buying some more woolies granny.
