Margaret Thatcher is dead

[Winehole23]

well, of course it did. what is privatization for besides increasing the share of private profits?

If England feels mislead, it should know better . . .

[spursncowboys]

Couldn't pass up the opportunity to express how I feel about that ... but yeah, should've probably taken the higher ground.

It takes a better person to do that.

Definition of tact
noun

• adroitness and sensitivity in dealing with others or with difficult issues:

^ that's definitely a word that wasn't on Thatcher's vocabulary.

true, I shouldn't have stoop down to her level.

[Latarian Milton]

not a typical british leader of the post-war era imho, would've earned a place in churchill's cabinet during war time. got mentioned more often than any other post-war british leader and the overall assessment of her tenure as british prime minister was negative. fought the war against argentina over some plain islands while giving up hong kong to them s for free, which was like making the wrong choice between a toyota corolla and a lamborghini. #10 downing street was never the right place for a to work in imho, a 's workshop should be in the kitchen and ONLY kitchen tbh

[ChumpDumper]

giving up hong kong to them s for free

Lease was up.

[Latarian Milton]

Lease was up.

i might be wrong but as far as i know, only the northern part of hong kong was loaned to the UK and the loaned area was mostly rural and plain, while the downtown area was permanently ceded to the empire of the United Kingdom through the treaty of nanking which was signed in 1842 following s' defeat in the opium war. UK could've kept the prosper south but the give up the entire hong kong for some reason.

[ChumpDumper]

You're right, but I don't see how that practically could have been done.

[ElNono]

I'm waiting for the reveal that Latarian Milton is in reality Marcus Bryant... that'd be like a season ending episode of Lost, tbh

[Th'Pusher]

I despise her because she was an iconic figure of far-right politics.

Icon of right-wing policy for sure, and a social conservative no doubt. But she was for socialized healthcare (actual socialism, not the private sector blow job that is Obamacare). If the likes of Ted Cruz and other tea baggers were consistent they'd be decrying her as a socialist.

[spursncowboys]

Did they ever get off that island...
.
On the OP. Anyone who brought up the fact that she is a woman is marginalizing her greatness.

She actually had no so thinly veiled attempts at privatizing the NHS, but was never able to pull it off, mostly because most Brits wouldn't let her and would be political suicide for her.

I think that's Latarian's schtick, tbh

Ouch!



RIP Maggie....

I was referring to Obama's presser

Oh... didn't hear about it.

being the ignorant, jingo , you'll probably be surprised to learn that "war heroes" Churchill and de Gaulle were vehemently DESTESTED by significant portions of those countries.

‘Ding Dong! The witch is dead’ heads to top of UK charts after death of Margaret Thatcher




“Ding Dong! The witch is dead”, as sung by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, on Tuesday raced to the top of the Amazon download chart in Britain, a day after the death of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Another version sung by jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald placed at number 4 and also topped the iTunes UK vocal chart as record-buyers passed their judgement on the legacy of Thatcher, who died of a stroke
on Monday aged 87.

The records’ success comes on the back of a Facebook campaign celebrating the death of the divisive leader.

That's ed up.

There sure is a lot of evil souls out there.

She and her buddy St Ronnie were ed up and ed up a lot of a lot of innocent souls out there. Both countries are still ed up by these two bas s.

As far as the Falklands, I hope every psychopath general that thought going to war against the UK will also go to (if they're not already there) and keep her company. She definitely was part of the problem, not the solution. The sinking of the Belgrano, which ended up being half of the Argie casualties in the conflict, was a cowardly act carried out in the war-exclusion zone. After that incident, she became the same war criminal as the generals she was fighting against.

Argentina will always have the World Cup 1998 victory over England.

All kidding aside, I can understand why you did not like her. I was pretty young when she was the PM, but from what I have read, I respect her to a degree and I dislike her to a degree. I don't hope she rots in though.
