But they are pressing ahead anyway and decommissioning nuclear plants

Speaking of bell-ends how numb was that copper Jeremy Scott tweeting those comments about Mrs T? Some disciples at the altar of muddled thinking will no doubt say " That's another the Iron Lady has put on the dole" *chuckle*

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Most Tories have more sense than trying to explain to luddites, as they always think they're right, when in fact they never been right always totally wrong:p:p:p:D

O.K. Jay so you are starting a new career rather late in life as an impersonator, just a bit of friendly advice, drop the bit where you try to imitate a thinking man it isn't entertaining and ruins everything else you attempt to do.
:(

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

No I just say enough to keep the dim wits happy, looks like I'm doing okay at the moment:)

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Just a minute are you attempting to say that I'm some sort of luddite?

I never went on strike during the 70's and 80's, strike is something that I consider does no-one a great deal of good.

However I didn't support a Government that went out of it's way to completely destroy a National Industry.
Somehow I think what Your Goddess did far outweighs anything any Luddite or Saboteur (the French equivalent), ever did!

You think that was something to be proud of?
:rofl38:

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Sorry Less, but the Communist Trade Unions had already done irreperibile damage long before Thatcher came along, she made sure that from then on it was the Government running the country not the Unions, but that's something you don't want to hear:rolleyes:

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

At last something I can agree with you about, the government running the country, further into the ground.
I didn't like unions going on strike but I also didn't like management that manipulated the situation in the first place.

Both were bad, your mags was worse.

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Her own people wanted to get rid of her as she had become like Hitler - deluded and fanatical about policy like the Poll Tax - so they shoved her off the sinking ship!

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Bit of over exaggeration don't you think Kes ? Okay she wasn't everyones cup of tea ..... but Hitler ? No I don't recall anything in her tenure about death camps, attempted extermination of several races or for that matter invasion, conquering & subjugation of other Countries peoples (trust me I know, insider information & all that due to being in the Army at that time ;) think I would've noticed) .

Lively debate is one thing & there's always going to be a huge gulf dividing the opinions of folks where ol' Mags is concerned, but pumping out the populist rhetoric of her being a "Nasty Nazi", is quite simply unrealistic.

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Oh i don't know Dave, she certainly tried to cover Hillsboro up, :rolleyes:

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

She's implicated in assisting in a cover up & if it's true that she was informed & knowingly kept information suppressed, then all the hounds of hell should be let loose to ascertain the facts.

But how often is it shown that some "Leaders" are detached from the reality of a situation & have absolutely no idea of what's going on around them & in their name ?

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Yes I know what you mean, I had been the leader of a large scout group, I decided to leave when we amalgamated with the girl guides and they insisted we should be called the Jimmy savil night watch.:eek:

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

yes eventually some of them grew the makings of a spine and stood up to her but it was too late they had sat and cowered in her shadow too long and the dammage was done

Re: Margaret Thatcher
 

Choose a Political party, any party you like & this will fit the bill somewhere in their history. The fear of losing their grasp on power no matter how tenuous is an amazingly motivating thing.
