l think it is good . :lol:
Well, I'm not going to debate the Falklands War here. If you want to get into that particular issue, try one of these threads...

every part of this world should belong to UK.
There is no value in being tough just for the sake of being tough. What is important is what you are tough about. You're probably too young and too distant to know what she did and to whom.
Thats your choice, of course. But the link doesnt work.
My little gift on this day to Andy and Higgins
One of my all time favorite quotes:
"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t."
All I ask from politicians whether I agree with them or not is a nice quote or two. Thatcher had them in spades.
"I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end."
Ad hominem. Are you just going to insult anyone who disagrees with you in this thread?
Who have I insulted? Certainly not you, and Medusa and I are very good friends, I certainly wasn't insulting her. The only person I've insulted is Thatcher. Why? Because:
That's just seven reasons why I'm not mourning her.
- She destryoed British manufacturing industry quite deliberately.
- She created the service-sector-based economy that is currently delivering poverty and unemployment to the entire nation.
- She deliberately destroyed traditional working class communities and demonised their unions and their organisations.
- She mismanaged British overseas dependencies and this directly led to the Flaklands war. She shamelessly used the Falklands conflict in order to engineer her 1983 election victory. Prior to the Falklands her popularity was in the toilet.
- She sold off national assets to her carpet-bagging capitalist mates at rock-bottom prices, effectively giving public money to her political allies.
- She introduced a despotic and discriminatory poll tax that united the nation against her. She lost that one.
- She introduced legislation outlawing all mention of gays and lesbians in all schools.

Yes it is about time.. not because who she was in the past, but who she was in the present. She had dementia and failing health.. that is not life and I would not wish it on my worst enemy (not that I have any).
Ah, yes. The "with the way she was dressed she was just asking to be raped" argument. Poor Galtieri. He shamelessly started the Falklands conflict in order to boost his image, thinking Thatcher wouldn't do anything because she "was only a woman."[*]She mismanaged British overseas dependencies and this directly led to the Flaklands war.

If she was a republican and worked with a monkey she would have been most glorious US leader ever. There is no way we are going to avoid weeks of really boring UK commentary are we? Oh well, I was getting a bit bored of Ebert articles anyway.

We are, today, as she made us. A paranoid, divided, mean-spirited nation, full of resentment, envy, greed and distrust. Racist, selfish, inhumane and tragically too stupid to see we are now nothing but turkeys lining up to continually vote for Christmas.
The Best way To Deal With Margaret Thatcher's Legacy Is To Kill It.
"Spitting Image" was a satirical puppet show of the time, on which Ron was Bonzo's intellectual inferior. An incontinent moron with a removeable walnut brain, and a jelly-bean addiction. One memorable comment on their relationship saw Thatcher being seen off at the airport by Ron with a sickening French kiss, at which point he breaks away and leers into the camera with the words... "What a shame I'm only screwing her country!".
The nailed the Thatcher era with this show which went out the day she was elected.
