Nope. Do you have a point to make?

As the saying goes "you have to live through it to know it"

RIP.

Whichever side of the fence you fall on with regard to her politics, it's worth bearing in mind that, along with Churchill and perhaps Attlee, she is one of very few British politicians of the last century to have made a significant impact to the country, and to have done what she believed right without flip-flopping to stay popular. She could teach current politicians on both the left and the right an awful lot.

Yep. Seeing a large number of similarly aged people around Facebook etc. enjoying their verbal celebratory dances to applaud the death of someone whose period in power they likely weren't even at an age to appreciate in a political sense, let alone even remember. Pretty weak if you ask me.

I wonder if German people born after WW2 feel that Hitler and his cronies had a negative impact on their life...even from so long ago.....

And before you all jump on me no I'm not comparing Thatcher to Hitler...just an example of how historic politics have impacts that last for a very long time

Real classy.

Dont feed the trolls.

I see what you mean. But equally valid is the examination that is not tainted by painful memories - kind of like how jurors aren't allowed to know the defendant etc.

Hope the mods can claim overtime for all the work this bit of news is going to cause them

Doubt there was a more polarising character in Britain than Maggie has been, equally loved and loathed!

Personally I think she was a great leader of this country and got things done that needed to be done however unpopular they were. Had a lot more backbone than all the PM's we've had since then certainlly!

Ladies and Gentlemen... meet Godwin.

I really hope you're permabanned, you deserve it

Just for you
Swearing in video.

She wasn't perfect, she had her faults, she made mistakes, no human is perfect.
But, she had the balls, when they were needed.

RIP Maggy.

thats the most idiotic comment ive read all day, although it does prove Godwins Law.

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

Finally. Despised the woman and most of what she should for.

Why is having a different opinion to yours worthy of a ban?

Im sure there are a lot of people who will feel the same way about Scargill.

 

[Theophany]

This one is for Biohazard, whom I'm sure will be devastated.

I don't doubt it...I'd happily accept that point of view

 

[LOAM]

RIP Mrs. T. Will be a very long time before we have a national leader with the balls to do what what was needed in a given time.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

Rip to one of the most influential and controversial leaders of the 20th century for Britain, good or bad history will tell

 

[Devlish]

I don't doubt it...I'd happily accept that point of view

We should just swap around all the names on that day. Im not sure that this thread is going to be of much use in a 'discussion' context!

True in a way.

Just thought. Can someone call Dolph to make sure he is ok
