Mini Mancie ! :D Once you've read through the whole thing & you get to the bottom of the article there's a little snippet entitled :-

Now read Margaret Thatcher: the case for

So if you'd planned to use it as an assassination on Thatcher & her governance c'mon, you may well have shot yourself in the foot there mate :o because all the vitriol in the anti Thatch piece is rubbished by the pro Thatch piece. The expression "Look before you leap" comes to mind. :)

Still good effort though.

And if you read both articles then at least it gives you a chance to formulate a balanced argument....either for or against.

All the arguments/discussions in the world on this subject do not amount to a hill of beans. There is nothing we can do about what happened in the past.......other than learn from it.... and if you look into history you will note that the human race does not learn from the experiences of its ancestors.....like your children do not learn from your experiences........we only learn from our own.

:D Nice peice of Irony. Her 85 birthday was knocked off the news by miners being saved. :D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

I'm sure she wouldn't have minded that one bit......after all birthdays are just another day when you reach that age.....I reckon she would just be glad to be above the sod.

You tend to look at life just a little differently when you pass the big 6 0 me thinks Margaret:rolleyes:

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

If she was even aware of it.

Whatever our views of Mrs Thatcher she was a milestone figure in the history of Great Britain and didn't acquire the tag 'The Iron Lady' for nothing.

It seems a shame that her mental faculties are now in such a poor state.

Those are two of the the only things we can't control Ken, getting old and our health, they both start catching up with you at some time

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

John, you are spot on about our perspective on life.
Mine changed when I turned 50........things that once would have loomed large stopped being important. I don't need to impress anyone. I've stopped chasing buses..most of the time they are going where I don't want to be.

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

she should have been put in an iron maiden,,,,,enough said

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

I gave over chasing buses long before I was 50 Margaret:D

Two more reasons to hate the Tories!

I heard this massive mis-quote from David Cameron and just realised that all Politicians just can't tell the truth. In this quote Cameron blatantly twisted what Ed Balls had said...

BBC - Newsnight: Michael Crick: Was Cameron playing a little too freely with Balls quote?

Another reason to hate the Tories is Lord Ashcroft...

BBC iPlayer - Panorama: Lord Ashcroft's Millions

Re: reasons to hate the tories
 

Think there are lots of people who would like to twist Eds Balls :D And lets not forget that good old Tony spent 10 years not twisting facts but telling blatant porkies to the British people
