"Correction, with the exception of Blunder Brown - he was too stupid to know how to help his friends and hurt his enemies so he just fucked everyone over in a catch-all type of scenario. " wrong again wishy... browns 'figures', debt as a proportion of gdp, interest rates, oh yes growth were not that bad.. yes he stiffed a few private pensions.. thatcher planned, executed and destroyed whole communities.. leaving us with a reliance on foreign energy suppliers.. for revenge post 73, what a shitty piece of work.. she set in motion the race to privatise all that this country owned as a cash cow for her friends.. your kids and ours will be overpaying for years for it, schools, hospitals, the utilities ffs.. its the equivelant of living of the 'tally' man, its extortion on a grand scale.. never will so many have to pay so much to so few, its the economics of division.. the have's and the have nots.. remember no such thing as community? | |||

"she set in motion the race to privatise all that this country owned as a cash cow for her friends.. your kids and ours will be overpaying for years for it, schools, hospitals, the utilities ffs.." That's incorrect as I remember the state sell-offs quite clearly... 'Tell Sid?' remember that one? The BT sell off, I did well out of that one too and I was no high-roller in those days, just your normal average Joe who saw a way to invest as little money and let it grow. The state-run utilities were a joke, with workers skiving off doing 2 hours work for 8 hours pay and spending all day playing cards in a quiet corner of the yard. Making businesses accountable, and thus profitable, was one of Thatcher's greatest legacies and if she was so wrong to sell off the utilities how come NO govt since Mrs T has re-nationalised ANY of them? | |||

Treasury select committee this Aug, chaired by a tory basically said they are a long term issue and we should take the pain now and get rid.. As for why they have not been taken back into public ownership, due to the way they are set up to 'buy back' £1 billion will cost £1.7 billion.. dont know how you can talk for all state utilities unless you worked in them all and saw or took part in the the 'skiving'? this is not a Red or Blue issue, not even a Yellow n Blue one which gives you Green i think... its an issue for all of us, for our kids and there's... | |||

"And wishy those companies are now only profitable because governments have no desire to restrain the prices they charge and we all pay more than we should to satisfy the greed of the shareholders. " We live in a very different world now, where British companies operate internationally (I'm talking about those companies that used to be state-owned, not the private companies who have always operated on several continents). They pay taxes in the different countries in which they operate, and yes, they are accountable to shareholders, but there is nothing worse than a CEO having to explain to thousands of angry holders of share certificates why their company has performed badly on any given year, whereas before nobody was accountable for a state-run, state-funded swallower of public funds that constantly under-achieved. Privatisation made a lot of people rich, sure, but it also made the companies involved a lot more efficient. Would we have broadband now if BT had remained government owned and the cable industry strangled at birth? No, we wouldn't, because BT wouldn't have had any competition and would have continued to draw taxpayer pounds in return for offering the basic service they'd always provided. Yes, we live in a different world, but the one we used to live in was adequate for the times in which it operated - it wouldn't survive a week now. | |||

"Yes thanks to Maggie she took Britain from what it waqs in the 70s to the great caring law abiding society we have today. The fact was she destroyed the manufacturing base that all countries need throwing millions on to the dole 9generation after generation). She sold Scott/Lithgow in Greenock / Port Glasgow to her buddies in Trafalgar House (of which her son was involved)miles of prime waterfront land for £12 million and immidiately gave them £18 million in grants. At the time Howard Doris wanted to buy it and use it for north sea structures but they were brushed aside and the deal fasttracked. The taxpayer then payed the woekers wages for yrs till T H shut shop and sold the land for development. A lot of Tories benefited from that one deal and there were many more like it the bastards should all have been shot." Were you going to buy it ? I've never read anything that shows others were brushed aside. I'd love to read what you read. What's the source please ? | |||

I worked for Howard Doris at the time and lived in Greenock and what I stated is fact whether you heard it or not.

No; ask political commentator and they will tell you elections are won on the floating voter. Labour or conservative voters dont really decide elections; hence why such little effort is made to campaign in safe tory or Labour seats from other parties. And Labour was imploding from within during the 80's, so made Thatcher's job of getting in again and again much easier. If Labour would have had a half decent leader, then i doubt Thatcher would have had such and easy ride. And if the Falklands hadnt of happened, then i doubt she would have won the 1983 election, such was her unpopularity at the time. | |||

"I have to agree, maggie thatcher was the root of all evil. I would not shed a tear to hear she had passed nor would anyone else in Ireland. Although my thoughts will be with her family. If we're bumping people off can we bump justin bieber off to, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! " No, let's study him. I have to admit every time he appears I'm memorised. I'm truly fascinated by his popularity. Artists with talent, Mariah Carey, Boys II Men et al are vying to sing with him...why?!! Fascinating. | |||

"It's popular to deride Maggie. Most people do it without even knowing anything about her political life and gains for this country. Most people ridicule her because their 'dad' did. People who do often sound like innocent children , 'The mean lady did things I didn't like.' ...... The Community Charge gave Heseltine the inch he needed to lever Maggie out. Before that the people of this country re elected Maggie. Her own treacherous party thought they were going to lose the next election and turned on her in favour of Heseltine. Maggie was good for this country. Granny Crumpet is neither Conservative nor Blindly Bigotted. A lot of people confuse being pig headed and arrogant as being strong, Maggie was not strong she always took the easy way out. Despite the strikes etc, the previous Labour government had invested wisely and encouraged industrialists to do the same, in new technologies that given the right leader could have transformed this country, instead we got a stupid housewife who gave tax breaks to the worthless blue rinse mob. Do you know what the what the biggest earner from Japan was. Believe it or not royalty checks for technology that should have been British built. She wasn't a housewife. Housewives aren't stupid. " She often quoted that running a country was like a housewife running a home, its nothing like that. | |||

"having a stent inserted to keep a coronary artery open is neither new nor radical......its bog standard normal proceedure......and as a hard working and conscientious NHS worker i find your last remark foul and offensive.....Happy Christmas though " as offensive as 13,500 patients falling victim to some form of nutritional deficiency in 2009? or as offensive as the contents of this years patients association report this year? Happy Holidays to you too | |||

"Nelson Mandela I hope not, what an amazing man " Ironic isn't it, I work with a South African girl (white) and they dread the day he dies. They really believe that he is the only reason they're still alive. | |||

"Nelson Mandela I hope not, what an amazing man Ironic isn't it, I work with a South African girl (white) and they dread the day he dies. They really believe that he is the only reason they're still alive." SA is a pot waiting to bubble over when he does die. . | |||
