When these people in this country in so-called poverty give up smoking, drinking, gambling, feeding their assorted pets and creating more and more new orrible little chavs, then I will have some sympathy for them...maybe.
Compared with the people in this world in GENUINE poverty, they have easy lives.
Let them all live in the slums of Bangladesh or other 3rd world countries for a few weeks, or in a refugee camp in Monrovia, to experience the true meaning of poverty.
Useless idle gits.
Well said Les
Hear hear !
So, we're supposed to feel sorry for people 'living it large' beyond their means ?
No leader can save anyone from their own stupidity, but when you've got a stupid leader, like Scargill, or 'Red Robbo' of British Leyland 'fame'...
Actually, in their case stupid is too mild a word. CRAZY would be more apt.
wow, its better then yesterday, but i am glad my sheep got mentioned againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
AMAZING, ISN'T it?Originally Posted by stevewool
... we're already on page nnnnnnnnnine!
amazing indeed, to a few she was not right, but then again nobody wants to be told what to do, but someone has to do that job, there are a few who like what she had done, me i cant remember other then the miners and the war, both affected me, but like many most have come out good
.................. few have ANYTHING to complain about. No.

The amazing thing about Thatcher is that if it wasn't for the Falklands she would've lost the second election. She came to power in '79 interest rates doubled, Vat almost doubled from 8 to 15% and between '79 and '82 unemployment went from 1.4m to 3.5m.
How come she won the third then?
I vote we share London out.
It would probably qualify as foreign territory.
Thats Gordon Brown to thank forOh so its so great working in this country nowadays
I blame thatcher for that because her union reforms went way too farThats Gordon Brown to thank for
Union bashing from the right wing gutter press reached new highs
Even working class people started to believe that the unions were all bad
So what have we ended up with........
Many normal workers dont have anyone to fight for their rights
Let me enlighten you a little bit to what is going on in the uk right now
The people who fund the Tory party dont want any unions
No unions means more profits for the fat cats = lower wages zero workers rights
Which is why we have ended up with the government giving tax credits to the low paid
Anyone in employment should not need government hand outs because their wages are so low
Average boardroom pay has rocketed in the last 10 years while the workers pay on the shop
floor has remained stagnant
...and much more important...Hamilton is on pole at Shanghai.
And Red Bull may have been a bit too tight-fisted with fuel
I'm moving to the Falklands
There you go
I have no ill feelings towards her, but the entire funeral and media frenzy is just ridiculous, blown far out of proportion. The ranting in the streets, the ridiculous social media comments. She's dead, and most of the policies she enforced had already started to be introduced by the previous government, many of them were necessary, but in realistic terms it was because she was so vocal and strong willed that people remember her. Appreciate that she was a Prime Minister and not a President. THE PARTY with her as leader was elected in three consecutive times because democratically people believed what she was doing was right.
Unions, yes they were out of control, in fact, we still have problems with unions, whereby they are lead by greedy fatcat 'i'm a real socialist' types. Regardless, unions are necessary and when working for commercial shipping lines I was a member and a union rep, and managed to maintain and improve working standards for everyone.
Anyway, she's dead and thats it, I've got more pressing things to worry about with living people!

"The Daily Telegraph revealed this week that the very miners he once led now view him “as bad as Margaret Thatcher” after dragging the union through the courts in a legal row over perks.
Lets hope you all jump for joy when Arthur Scargill dies,I'm sure plenty of miners will
Well spotted Les - it's taken them long enough to realise that "King Arthur" sold them down the river and was only in it to line his own pockets"The Daily Telegraph revealed this week that the very miners he once led now view him “as bad as Margaret Thatcher” after dragging the union through the courts in a legal row over perks.

Margaret Thatcher’s final wish was to be crematedCertainly after tomorrow, there WILL be no such thing as Maggie Thatcher

Seems the country is split so I may not be in the minority may be you Stevie
Just saw this "And how ironic that the people screaming she’d wrecked the country and wrecked their lives still had enough money to buy champagne to drink to her death, to shout that they hoped it was a painful and degrading one.
Still, they followed the mob, sheep-like, shouting that someone had told them she was a bitch... and so they were glad she was dead."
Many,many people were not even born when she was in power just following like sheep
