Crosser Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 On another thread, Someone stated that Mrs Thatcher was "A Monster", but was she? Did she do the right thing by selling off the UK's assets to anyone who wanted to strip them? Or was she wise? afterall, all that coal that the miners claimed was still to be mined is still down there for when other countries want to hold us to ransom for our energy needs. There are many other policies to be discussed, but locally I feel those are (were) the main ones. Was she a "Monster" or a "Madonna" ... Over to you.

Lex Luthor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 You know what. We're awaiting the outcome of one of the biggest political decisions many of us have seen or are likely to see. Margaret Thatcher is history. Let's look to the future for at least until we've got the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewalk Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 If her strategy to take on the miners thus destroying their industry was really a master stroke in lieu of a future energy crisis she was more a clairvoyant and genius than a monster. Personally I just believe that she supported her Class admirably by introducing financial deregulation and other policies favouring the Establishment, which ultimately led to the 2008 financial crisis. Her real master stroke was in getting a hapless Labour govt to take the "rap" when the neo-liberal experiment went tits up. In my opinion she was responsible for making the UK a much worse place, made a virtue of greed and selfishness and a much harsher cruel country to live in. Her biggest achievement according to herself was New Labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Was she a "Monster" .. Yes. And a friend of Jimmy Savile to boot. How much more monsterous can you be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yes. And a friend of Jimmy Savile to boot. How much more monsterous can you be? Didn't she used to invite him over for Christmas dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosser Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yes. And a friend of Jimmy Savile to boot. How much more monsterous can you be? I'm not sure, afterall Savile is not here to defend himself (Nor is Thatcher) however there is much more corroberated evidence of Thatchers deeds than Saviles.... Moving on....

I was going to ignore this thread, but attempting to blame the 1980's Conservative government for Brown's great recession is as mad as a bag of ferrets. Labour were in government for over 10 years before the crash. You could get me completely drunk and bash me over the head with a gold brick for a day and a half and that still wouldn't make sense.
