How do you view the late Margaret Thatcher?

How do you view the late Margaret Thatcher?

You can view that film they made about her, 'The Evil Dead'...

I also find it quite extraordinary that the one group of people that were "epitomised" by Thatcherism and were able to profit personally from a contracting industry enriched by the denationalisation of the power industry (1998 project anyone?), Big Bang, the computerisation of BA are such ungrateful whiners and hypocrites.

All this nonsense about manufacturing when it was the IT industry that grew phenomenally out of Thatcherism . All this "bulls**t hypocrisy about "poor people losing their jobs" is quite grotesque coming from a group of people making hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and enriching themselves to build IT systems that above all else remove the need to use people in jobs.

Damn.

She was ever so lucky with her enemies.

Scargill & Galtieri, what a fine pair.

Not forgetting Red Robbo

(Still alive last I heard - He must be about 100 by now)

Keeping it simple for the lefties.

The evidence keeps mounting that you're in the cretin camp.

Oops. Sorry. "Keeping it simple for the lefties and sasguru." Is that better?

If you don't like it, you could always start your own poll with 15 different options.

I'm building a robotic recruitment agent to do you lot out of a job. It's great so far, it only wants 5%

Edit: Still wants 2 bloody references though

Alas we are unlikely to ever see a leader as good as she was again.

She was not wrong on the poll tax. The idea that a family of a dozen catholics or indians should pay the same money towards council facilities as a family of two or my dad on his own is a joke.
She took unpopular steps to do the right things in the longterm. My Granddad lived in a council flat all the time I knew him. He paid his rent and wore tailored suits. He also looked after his place because it was how he was brought up. (even his prefab was spotless) He was a minority. Council slums were just that. Slums! letting people own them improved the standard of the houses because all of a sudden people in them had a reason to take care of them.

The fact of the matter was we needed breaking to be fixed properly and she and major did the hard stuff to gift the labourite ******* the biggest run up to a cluster-**** we have ever had
