"Sir Kier has reportedly had a commissioned portrait of Maggie T removed from No.10. He found it 'unsettling' apparently. Poor chap. Some might say this is a good thing, but what portrait will the PM have instead? Lenin? Mao? Nelson Mandela? What we would be a fitting portrait to represent his Sceptred Isle of ours?" Nice topical Oasis reference in that post  | |||

"Maybe they’ve taken it to a restorers to get 14 years worth of spunk removed? Are you ok? Does the word thatcher trigger you? " Unless you lived and suffered through the Thatcher years,you really have no idea how much damage Thatcherism did to the working class of this country half of my family are builders the other from Welsh mining and both these industries utterly destroyed by thatchers Britain. This era basically allowed agencies to become the dominant force in employment workers rights out of the window and later the menace of zero hours contracts. The decimation of apprenticeship scheme's which we are now seeing the results of many industries lacking in skilled workers,we became reliant on cheap European labour Brexit put a stop to that now everywhere is struggling to find labour and more so skilled labour. Selling off nationalised industry which just resulted in piss poor service and making shareholders very rich. Selling off housing stock and this obsession with everyone having a mortgage. Honestly the list goes on and on with the only people to benefit have been the rich. We've suffered years and years of greed at the hand's of our politicians thinking only of themselves and their friends getting as much as possible from implementing things that they will get rich from. I'm sure if you were to ask Miners, steelworkers,ship builder's,car manufacturers , fishing how they feel about Thatcher I'm pretty sure they would agree with the removal of the painting. So yeah just like for many Blair is a trigger for many more Thatcher is the antichrist. | |||

" Most on here were kids when Thatcher was in power? How does it trigger them now? Time to get over it perhaps " Don't be so naive - or in the least catch up on the social history of Great Britain ! For 12 years, Thatcher defined the lives of both rich and poor (and long after) - she also dismantled the unions and industry. She shut the coalfields and dismantled large swathes of 'community'. She was the Prime Minister that actually 'caused' major riots in the country. She introduced the notion of yuppie Britain, dividing the country into have and have nots . . . and on and on and on . . . The effects and attitudes of parents bringing up children of that time will have passed that experience on to them, and the children themselves will have had physical and emotional experience of her actions on public policy. That's how Thatcher will trigger the adults today. | |||

"Would things have been better in the UK if Thatcher had not existed and the country had continued on whatever path it was on at the time. " I was too young to understand or be bothered at the time but read a lot. The 80s were the hangover from the 70s and a lot of the problems in the 70s are rooted in the oil crisis. I think the gradual improvement in the global economy over the 80s (with blips clearly) would have still happened and benefitted the UK. Thatcher sold off the family silver to bolster govt finance. It was a one-shot trick. | |||

Well to be fair they COULD get better if Labour relaxed fiscal rules and started borrowing more but then the same people moaning would be moaning about that. It’s all about who feels the pain because it is always someone. | |||

I honestly don't think people thought it would be getting better so quickly, but conversely neither did they think it would go in the direction it has so quickly. Rewarding the unions, plundering the pensioners, persistent negative messaging of brace for pain, leaving a feeling that tax rises that will impact the working person are inevitable after all of the promises they wouldn't do that. It has not been a text book start and it shows a certain naivety towards government that many knew was there. | |||

"Would things have been better in the UK if Thatcher had not existed and the country had continued on whatever path it was on at the time. I was too young to understand or be bothered at the time but read a lot. The 80s were the hangover from the 70s and a lot of the problems in the 70s are rooted in the oil crisis. I think the gradual improvement in the global economy over the 80s (with blips clearly) would have still happened and benefitted the UK. Thatcher sold off the family silver to bolster govt finance. It was a one-shot trick." she was basically an addict stealing from the family then squandering the money on a gambling habbit. | |||

"They over spent on the pay as they just gave in to the union's straight away. Hardly an achievement to just agree to demands. Ending the fuel allowance for pensioners does not just end it for the rich ones as someone claimed, it ends it for anyone not on benefits, many of which are going to go into fuel poverty because of this. 10 million pensioners are expected to be affected. The German French thing is just an announcement of what they intend to do in the future but not actually done anything yet. Tax increases on the way too, to add to the already high tax. Giving top jobs to their mates already. I was not expecting miracles in the first weeks but after all their hype, I was not expecting things to get even worse | |||

As it happens, as a single person ratepayer, I was looking forward to the poll tax as a fairer system for all. However,my arch enemy Maggie quickly realised that by introducing it, a great many people who lived under the radar could justifiably demand the vote by way of return.. ..and those people wouldn't be voting for her! | |||

"I don't normally speak ill of the dead but being the son of a miner, Thatcher can burn in hell. " Strangely I can understand that.
I remember that a couple of years after it was all over anti-Thatcher folk calculated, from the Government's own figures, that it had cost the Government (and the British people) £171,000 for every miner made redundant.
When this was put to one Welsh Ex-miner he replied "Really? £172,000. I would have left for a straight £150,000 myself!"
By way of context, the average cost of a house in the UK in 1985 was £30,500. | |||
