It is not a case of 'Well Done' Steve(but my thanks to you for thinking it is)it is about respect......the respect for those who have lost a family member and are grieving.....and it is a little bit about balance too.
Politicians do what they do, it is not for us that they act, but for themselves..to earn Kudos,to stay in power....those are their only concerns...nothing else.

Love her or loathe her she had the conviction do do what was needed at that time.
And I bet she never fiddled her expenses like this crew (both sides of the house) of career politicians we put up with today.

Before the Thatcher era we really were the sick man of Europe, bankrupt and broken in many ways.

Cashy, you say what you think...and I do the same. It hasn't made my day, but neither has it spoiled my day. I won't alter my opinions to be in with the 'in' crowd.
I just think your group hatred is a wasted emotion. It isn't worth the emotional effort(and I guess you will tell me there is no effort in it).

cashman · 08-04-2013, 15:17

Certainly no effort at all.

think the only thing she did right was the falklands .. went against the cabinet and others and sent the soldiers and ships to get em back ....

And she fixed things by turning GB into a net importer of manufactured goods for the first time since the reign of Henry Vlll

Just been announced she will not get a state funeral but will get the same status as Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother and Princess Diana . What is narking me however , all flags are now at half mass ( according to radio ) . When Diana died , Tony Blair had to persuade our Queen to have flag at half mass , as her subjects were up in arms.

There are many reasons and variables why a country becomes a net importer, or for that matter a net exporter (look at our history in oil comodities).
Even if your proposition could be proven Dr E it is specious to lay all the blame on Mrs T and her governance.

If you think that, isn't it a good enough reason for hating her - after all she did a lot of damage to this country, some of which becomes more apparent as time goes on.

Restless · 08-04-2013, 17:05

When I think of her I think of the Belgrano sinking documentary that I watched.

walkinman221 · 08-04-2013, 17:12

I am thinking of nipping down to the smoke to put a stake through her heart (if she has one ) just to make sure.!!!!!!!!
