With her ultra conservative, greedy, unemphatic I'm all right jack pull up the ladder attitude and politics!
''no such thing as society''
The woman was vile and not what civilized and evolved human-beings should be aspiring too as a species!
No such thing as society? You don't seem to be familiar with what she actually said.

Aside for the fact I work for a company that probably wouldn't exist if Thatcher hadn't re-privatised the energy companies, funded by a company in part a product of the deregulation of the city?

The major problem I see with the whole funeral thing. Is why is she getting a state funeral ? I mean she was a PM a Public Servant. Regardless of what you think about her policy's when she was in power. She was just doing her job.
The last PM to get a state funeral was Churchill who I think deserved it, he was PM during a world war and he went well above and beyond the call of duty (from what I have read).
Yes I was still a baby when Thatcher was in power... I was not even alive when Churchill was in power. But I do get sick of the comments "You was not even alive... therefore anything you say is irrelevant" Just because I was not alive does not mean I cannot have an opinion on the matter. I can't speak for everyone but I can read, I remember being at school. The reason History is important is so we learn from mistakes.

Yea but I mean it might as well been the amount of money put into not to mention the military honours, with a church service at St Paul's Cathedral.
I don't really understand why she is beening given military honours though.

What lies would those be exactly? The banner is reference to per economic and social policys?
So yes she did win. If you think she was evil and are inclined to keep points:
Thatcher
1) Shafted your industry
2) Took away your milk
3) Condemed you and future generations to poverty
4) Got a nice State funeral
Banner waving loons
1) Kept their pride
Even if all is equal, thats still 4-1 to Lady T. Go loons, wave that banner like you have anything to celebrate!

I'm sorry to say this, but I find that a tad embarrassing too...it rhymes though.
Pretty sure Thatcher would turn in her grave knowing the state paid for her funeral...
Seems like the ultimate missing the point of what Thatcher wanted the state to do...
Lol.
I was over Thatcher and her cronies many moons a go, soon after I took Tebbit's advice to get on my bike to get a job (what a complete **** he was). I was lucky to find a job down here as I was close to giving up like many of my friends had, after I'd sent out 210 letters of introduction and CVs to electronics companies and only ever getting one interview.
The Thatcher years were a turbulent time in Liverpool and nothing changed after the riots of 81 either, which I'll add I was happy to take part in. Heseltine and his Ministry for Merseyside were a complete and utter joke - I still recall the sign that was daubed in huge letters above a dual carriageway on the outskirts stating, "Here marks the spot where Heseltine slowed down." Due to the 30 year rule it later transpired that Jeffery Howe (the Chancellor) had advised Thatcher that a managed decline of Liverpool was preferable to any rejuvenation of the city. We sort of gathered that thank very much.
Although I'm glad nothing untoward happened during the funeral, I can't honestly think of anything else praiseworthy in all this.

You're once again just copying things you heard, well done
The lies surrounding Hillsborough and her collusion with the SYP to keep it that way and have the blame on fans and not near the police
, I mean you are completely missing the point and going on about stuff the banner has sod all to do with.Perhaps she did win, I mean she should've served time along with everyone involved in the cover up and the media is currently rewriting history making it clear it is only a minority who ever opposed her and she was fantastic, I'm sure in 100 years time there will only be good things said about her.
1) She didn't shaft my industry
2) No one took away my milk
3) No I'm pretty sound thanks
4) Yes she did, it was unfortunate Ingram wasn't in the coffin with her.

Good for you, unless you were waving the banner, I wasn't directing the above to you.
Really where in the banner does in mention Hillsborough? See a reference to milk, see they still have their pride. Thats some up to me as being a reference to her economic and social policys to me. Hence my points stand but hey, lets play the Hillsborough game too:
Thatcher
1) Performed a coverup
2) Got away with it for so long that by the time it came out it did not impact her political career
3) No action was ever taken against her
4) Her legacy is still intact, as can be seen by the support on the streets
5) She got a State funeral
Banner waving numpties
1) Kept their pride.
Yep Lady T still won. Wave like there is no tomorrow and keep the hate alive inside your hearts!

You realise that the whole of merseyside are upset with Thatcher's policies and closing of the docks etc? It's not just about the football.
Also, Thatcher literally did take away the milk - from Schools.
Granted, I'm replying to a 'pudlian, so preacher choir etc. but.. come on.

Yes of course, but Everton have always been very vocal in their support of the Justice campaign and that is what the banner is referring to.
I've heard she didn't actually take away the milk from some of her fans on here, she may have, she didn't take away anything from me though
