Margaret Thatcher is dead...

[sebigboss79]

You shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

I wish Thatcher was still alive.

I assume for the selfish wish to speak bad of her

It's just that I could see this eventually degenerating into something that set Forum members against each other....Which I don't want to see.

She had a way of doing that...

I could easily step up to Defend Thatcher, but then I remember the ten years before her, even though I was young. I won't purely because this isn't the place for it.

I will however say one thing, because there have been some very obnoxious comments elsewhere on the web that I wouldn't want to ee repeatd here. Regardless of you views, Mrs Thatcher was someones mother, someones grand mother. How do you think they feel at the moment? How would YOU feel if people were discussing you mother or grand mother that way?

I remember what it was like before Thatcher too - and I'd go back to that in a heartbeat. See the blog post I linked to earlier in this thread for why.

And we know she was someone's mother - the odious little turd Mark Thatcher, who if anything, managed to turn out even worse than his mother.

Well if we're talking about cosying up to dictators...

I mean god forbid that anyone else should do such a thing!!

Sigh, I was going to remind you of the strikes that happened in the James Callaghan Government including the Winter of 78-79, but perhaps that's what you meant when
you said you would '...go back to that in a heartbeat'

I've locked this thread, as there's always going to be strong opinions on this going either way, and it's probably best to stop it now.
