Thatcher's top five achievements

[Cyberman]

1. she upset that pillock scargill
2. she upset that pillock livingstone
3. she upset the french
4. she upset the argies
5. she upset the scots

True indeed, and Labour never upset people in this way because they never make difficult decisions that would lose votes. They only lose votes through failure of their stupid policies that wreck the economy over and over again.

She closed all the mines- I wanted to be a miner and was at my first year at uni specialising in the subject
Poll Tax (wouldn't mind Poll tax now )
Falklands

Still I like her

(1) Helping to invent Mr Whippy
(2) Going for a wee at exactly the right moment to avoid being blown up by the Brighton hotel bomb.
(3) Getting a tissue out of her handbag to cover up the multicultural tail-art on the model BA plane.
(4) Getting Ronald Reagan to fancy her, thus distracting him for long enough to avoid starting a nuclear war.
(5) Writing the song "Stool Pigeon" for Kid Creole and the Coconuts (thanks Wikipedia for that one).

1. She never voted labour, unlike some of the stupid ***** round here.

Interesting - amazing you should consider that one of her top five achievements. Also utterly unprovable. If I thought she had a sense of humour, I'd wonder if she ever voted Labour just for a laugh.

Labour seem to upset you plenty. This thread is an opportunity to sing the praises of your great hero, yet within a nanosecond you've lapsed into posting reams of stuff about Labour.

Interesting how you used to salivate at the thought of Tony Blair here and Labour's achievements (???) but now you are facing unemployment and poverty for a decade, you thought you'd post a thread about Thatcher.

She took away free school milk...

I never liked the free school milk. It was always warm and rank by the time you drank it, so she actually did us a favour.

Actually Thatcher and Blair/Brown had exactly the same policy towards the City - laissez faire. Thatcher started it, Labour carried it on.

So I blame both of them for the disaster.

Ok - so not voting Labour is her top achievement. As for me salivating or facing unemployment, they are neither true nor relevant. You are welcome to attack my choice of vote but you're not putting up much of an argument apart from calling me names.
