Happy Birthday Lady Thatcher

[Monty]

A remarkable, wonderful woman who saved this nation from decline and put the Great back into Britain.

   
"Margaret Thatcher: Gentlemen, if we don't cut spending we will be bankrupt. Yes, the medicine is harsh, but the patient requires it in order to live. Should we withhold the medicine? No. We are not wrong. We did not seek election and win in order to manage the decline of a great nation." -

[Jarvos]

Tell that to a Welshman!!!!

[Shoddys Lane]

You must be *********** joking.

[noughtyforties]

A wonderful woman who put the country 1st.

Happy Birthday Maggie!

[Steviemas]

Well said Monty, if only she was in charge now this country wouldn't be in the mess it is now, none of this sucking up to the EU and the ridiculous left wing nonsense of Nick Clegg and his Leftie loonies, Happy birthday.

[Myleftfoot]

Don't be ridiculous. She created mainly bad things, including:

The doubling of Inflation

A disunited United Kingdom

Selective prosperity

Over-privatisation and overt corruption

And that's just for a start!

Free speech?

[kingofnaves]

She fought for the Falklands!

[Myleftfoot]

No she didn't, lets be very clear about that.  

[Sussex Pilgrim]

I'm sure the country has always had areas of "selective " prosperity.

That's why most English economists will be mighty happy when Scotland is independent and uses the Euro.  The £ will become one of the stronger currencies in the EU and the jocks' wish they could turn the clock back as the English socialists stop bailing out their weak economy in a feable attempt at "balancing" prosperity .

[Fairfax]

I'm a distant relative, but the family don't like to talk about it. So obsessed with killing the unions that she destroyed our industry. Baby and bathwater! I wonder why we have a housing problem? What happened to the council houses?

I'm also a distant relative of Gordon Bolland and I am proud of that.

[Myleftfoot]

And,

Monetarism! Disastrous policy of trying to control money supply

Destruction of local democracy.

Politicising the civil service.

Degradation of the social professions.

And that's just for another start!
