Or the way she single-handedly destroyed the livelihoods of thousands in the coal mining communities of south wales, nottinghamshire, etc.

These were destroyed by the trade unions and labour long before she came to power

Exactly dodgy, not to be rude to candy, but that is the kind of moronic and unfounded comment that all lefties spew like filth. It couldnt be further from the truth.

Candy, you couldnt be more wrong. Look at this graph supplied by the BBC.



Mining output under maggie was at it's highest, than any other era around her time.



For example, another things morons blame her for is the national grid state. yet they fail to remember that they were striking from 1970, almost a decade before she got in power.




It is another classic case of labour screwed up the country, so the conservatives had to roll their sleeves up and make harsh decisions to deal with the economic climate.

She also did a lot of good. She gave council tenants the right to buy just for one example.


Now we have a wet co-alition, not one politician with the balls dear maggie had .....

Does it show the bit where at the Cabinet Xmas Meal she says "I'll have the Turkey" and the waiter asks "And what about the vegetables?" and she says "They'll have the same as me!"

Hard to think that that actually happened...

That came from in Spitting Image:

That must have been of great comfort to the families, knowing their sons died for no reason. Did she write to the Argies ones too?

Whilst we are at it i think Winston Churchill should have written to all the German soldiers killed in WW2

[Incognito]

What about the bit where she ws on her way out after only about three years in power and some tinpot Junta invades some bit of Britain no-one cared about so she slaughtered 1000 people to stay in power?

That bit in?

slaughter
noun

[S or U] the killing of many people cruelly and unfairly, especially in a war
Hardly anyone in the town escaped the slaughter when the rebels were defeated

I'm sorry, what part of the Falklands Conflict would you define as 'cruelly and unfairly'. Were we meant to throw rocks at them to get them to go home?

[stek]

yes and she wrote to every dead British soldier's family.

Did they cover the milk snatching and explusion of around 80 Soviet spies?

no they didn't it was not politically correct.

It has John Sessions as Edward Heath and Andrew Heath as Geoffrey Howe (the bloke from those 1980s Kenko coffee couple ads and the priest Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

Richard E Grant as Micheal Heseltine !

I wonder why?

doh she wasn't an MEP, I heard she wanted to be though.

the milk snatching was only implied in the first few frames.

[wim121]

Hmmm...

Surely they consulted Mrs Thatcher during writing? So why all the 'omissions'?

No they didnt.

They did present her and her team with the final draft and they "didnt much care for it at all" ...

You have to omit some things, think how confusing it would be to cover two decades of history and all the issues in society at that time ...

There is a bit at the start of the film with someone trying to buy milk. A few subtle bits like that throughout to keep you dirty liberals happy as you wish someone dead from your armchairs.
