Yes how dare well educated people run the country.
By and large, yes. It was mostly the public sector that disliked her. Do you disagree?
Do you have these opinion polls, general election results? She was in for 10 years... Obviously not THAT hated.
They are only well educated because they had rich parents, everyone should have the opportunity to be well educated, thats my point!

Right, so your alternative would be to have a senate kind of thing? Senators elected from the people to speak for the people?
So you get people that are frequently down to their last £20 cutting taxes for all but the richest, handing out benefits etc. Well done. You just bankrupted the country.
I simple cannot comprehend how going to Oxbridge and having an education is a negative.

Miliband is a brainless little ponce and is solely giving the Tories a chance of staying in power.
I personally believe the Tories should stay in power but the stupid masses have rallied and seem to believe the Labour days were some sort of utopia and the fact they nearly destroyed the countries economy has been forgotten. I would laugh if it wasn't do tragic
But with Ed Miwiban leading the idiots the Tories have a shout.

Isn't my opinion obvious?
Yes, I think popular and political culture itself is more than evident but hey.
Yeah they're all over the internet in various places mostly wikipedia and so forth.
She did prevail for a long time, it does not mean that she was not opposed. Opposition was clearly well outwith the confines of the public sector itself but you do seem to get a bit upset when it comes to Thatcherism.
Who worked in the private sector and hated Thatcher?
People who worked in industries that survived on massive government subsidies when the government said "look be profitable or fail we're not paying for you anymore".
Unions etc did a lot to stop the companies becoming profitable and helped them fail but if the government hadn't been subsidising them for so long it wouldn't have been such a shock.
It was unsustainable and eventually it was going to end, whoever was in charge when it did was going to be hated.
But enough of this sense "Burn the witch!!!!!"
They do?
The loudest voices do not equate to public opinion. I would have thought you'd have learned from Arthur Scargill.
She won three elections, being opposed does not diminish popularity, nor does it refute my central point of the vast majority of her opposition being from the public sector.
I don't get upset, I just don't understand the Left's righteous indignation about Thatcher. You do realise your Labour party, started to represent the rights of the working class by downtrodden railroad workers, is a bunch of middle class career politicians, right?
I'm published on this topic.
That's what I'm talking about, it's not nice, but it's done, make yourself employed by whatever means you can, some did, some didn't.
It's not a level field, I agree, but you cannot level it. If the people don't utilise what is available to them and as you say many people do then what can you do? You cannot legislate against the mindset of society worst. That worst of society exists up and down the wealth spectrum, with the largest pool being at the bottom staunchly defiant that it's not their fault.
Thatchers policys in my opinion where exactly what the country needed, New Labour continuing them after 1997 were a different flavour. Things that worked at a certain time do not correlate to a later time, much like laws and system in other countries can not be applied to another country.
What were the unions up to in the 70's?
The formatting in your description is broken and your publisher is a self publisher.
I could have a photocopy of my testicles with some clever drawing on it published by them.
You are not "published " on this topic, you've simply, "written" on this topic and stuck a price tag on a Pdf.
I quite like Ed Milliband, and hate Mrs Thatcher's policies of the 1980s that did so much damage to Britain's society and reputation. However I don't agree with these T-shirts, whatever else she is a person, a mother, a friend to some. Celebrating when anyone dies is pretty sick so I think Ed has shown very poor judgement posing for that picture.
Say what you want about Thatcher but the unions needed tackling... They were all pretty much militant mentalists..
No, you exclaimed suprise at the suggestion anyone outwith the public sector could including the private sector could hate Thatcher.
Her Government did engage in war with trade unions and vice versa, although there were many outwith this who had their own grievances with the policies.
What righteous indignation was there in suggesting that there were those outwith public service who also had issues with her?
Do you not see the irony in how you have reacted here?
Also, you don't have to preach to me about Labour.

I love that you missed me enough to look that up.

Look what up? The thread? No I just remember the fanaticism from last time enough to last a while longer yet.

He's a non entity as far as I'm concerned, he's weak against a weak coalition Govt, he has no answer to our fiscal problems apart from "borrow more, spend more" and the picture of him next to that t-shirt speaks volumes about how he's not "statesman" material.
I'm 41, I remember Thatcher all too well, and the winter of discontent before it.
Ed Milliband for P.M.? Dream on.
