I totally agree.

So, the criteria is that if they have children/grandchildren, then they must be okay?

In short, wishing someone's death is not my philosophy.

On the other hand, if you want me to be sincere, to be taken in charge by the NHB like a woman she put on the dole by the late seventies is all I wish her. Right ?

Everyone has there own opion when it comes to politics. I personally think she gave Britain the kick up the arse it needed at the time, others will disagree. I personally think Tony Blair was a joke and a liar, but I wouldn't wish ill health on the chap, because i'm not a sick bitter person.

Sick? Bitter? Twisted? Disillusioned?

Yup. A product of Thatcher's Britain. It could be argued that she made us what we are.

Chirac (Torry), Prime Minister of Mitterand (Labour), said the following, without knowing that the microphones were still on : "Qu'est-ce qu'elle veut cette vieille ? Que je lui serve mes couilles sur un plateau en argent ?" "What does this old woman want ? Does she want me to serve her my marbles on a silver plate ?" I think that most of the people who had to deal with her thought this at some point.

But I prefer to stop here. I am just realising that we've got at the moment someone even more dangerous at the head of our state. A mix of Thatcher, Blair, W, Putin and Berlusconi... with a pinch of Heider...

When she demanded the Euro rebate, at a meeting in Brussels, she wore Chirac down over 12 hours, and he eventually agreed, fearing it was the only way he was going to get home. He was absolutely exhausted, and still rues the day. Tough as nails.

Yes you can. It's the job of a responsible government to subsidise the essential industries, if that's what's required to keep them strong. Look at the mess we're in with our energy deficit now. Look how much our industries are paying for foreign steel. Look at the massive numbers of unemployed. Look at the shift in skills and the types of 'industry' that this country still have to be proud of.

She fucked it.

I'm just going to disagree with you there. Years of unprofitable nationalised industries were part of why 1979 came around, she didnt create that, but had to deal with it.

Situation arose recently with Rover; Labour weren't interested in buying it, cos it would never make a profit. At least Northern Rock has a load of residual value.

Not talking about bloody basket-making here. Talking about infrastructure industries 30 years ago, that had been largely unprofitable since the War. Multi-billion pound industries sucking the life out of the economy, with huge wages, and constant striking wanting more. Government isnt a charity in the end. :nod:

Well yes, exactly. But would they have been better run by government or private concern?

I think the government have had enough trouble running themselves over the last thirty years rather than running things that actually matter.

No its not.

Its the job of the industries to make themselves succesful. People pay taxes for public services, Health, law and order, international security blah blah blah. If an industry isnt sucessful (i.e. Northern Rock) then it shouldnt be up to the tax payer to proper it up. You cant have the government (and by proxy, the taxpayer) subsidising the unsuccesful (or uncompetetitive) industries. Its not economically viable.

You could argue that the mortgae industry is "essential industry." Hell, you dont (and wont) see the government offering 90% self cert unlimited mortagages ever. You also didnt see the government propping up the company i was made redundant from recently...

I actually grew up near you in S.Yorks. It is sad that the pits have closed along with the dock yards. But just like industries and businesses all over Britain ,if its not earning money or you can get it cheaper elsewhere you will do. Supermarkets and internet shopping is putting thousands of local shops out of business, the fact is the world changes and sometimes its cruel.

I'm not bitter, far from it. I also don't agree with any political party at the moment - all of them are shite. As for a still in Europe, top of the league, soon to be champs Hun - I'm afraid I am!! :smoking:

No you are wrong.

Thatcher crushed the unions because several hundred thousand miners dared to defy her and she didn't fuckin like it.

If it wasn't for the Nottinghamshire Miners (cunts) then we would have had an active pro-trade union government in the u.k today.

aye its really a fuckin pity that all the pits shut,what a load of fuckin bollocks.

really pisses me off that,aye its a dead industry blah,blah,blah.

Still cuts deep here pal

Why the fuck are they wanting to open the pits again ?

for a fuckin laugh?

Gas and leccy and oil going through the roof,whats the other fossil fuel they're going to utilise?

COAL!

No its not.

Done properly, the subsidy required is small compared to the cost of all the unemployment and the trade deficit that occurs when these industries are gone.

Russia and Italy, to name but two, seem to be doing okay out of mining and steel. How are they managing it?

You rely on commerce to keep your essential industries healthy and you get a situation... oh like the one we've got.

Nice one :thumb:

That's because in the last 30 years the politicians have stopped, for the most part, being drawn from key industry roles and instead been career politicians with no clue how to actually do anything. I can't think of one of them that's ever had a proper job.

What I see is an backseat driver with armchair experience asking questions to a Prime Minister. What does this caller know of international relations? Even if she is correct and the ship was sunk incorrectly, could Thatcher really admit to it? Nice that it would make the caller feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but what of international relations? By sinking the ship a message was sent, and Thatcher should rightfully not backdown.

I still remember the 'Spitting Image' sketch after that incident:

MICHAEL HESELTINE: 'Want to talk about the Belgrano, Margaret?'

MARGARET THATCHER: 'Shut up Michael and put another log on the fire.'

  • refers to the *proved* cover up that Thatcher lied about the whole situation, misleading The House Of Commons, The House Of Lords and the British People, who she was supposedly elected to serve.

Surely the people to blame are the twats that voted her and her fucking Government in time and time again?

Thatch was a moron, but she didn't get where she did without the (landslide) support.

Who are the people?

The 1980s. What a pile of wank.
