Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013

[ngb1066]

Margaret Thatcher quite openly was best buddies with Chilean dictator and fascist, Augusto Pinochet. She declared that this butcher of his own people was a "true friend of Great Britain." She called Nelson Mandela a terrosrist. I just can´t see past things like that and have a hard time warming up to this woman, dead or not.
Feel for her family and loved ones, of course, that is another thing, but I know her as a politician, not as a private person. She made her choices, and I don´t like most of them.

Tyler, spot on about the oil. They always keep quiet about that, call it "peace keeping operations" and blahblah, but it is all about money and power, power and money aka oil in many cases.

Good post.  I agree with you.

Exactly! If she could turn a blind eye to what Pinochet was up to,she could turn a blind eye to people that were close to her being paedophiles. When Savile died, a lot of people were saying what a wonderful man he had been, what he had done for charity etc. I always had a feeling that he had a penchant for children,and as I had said early on in the the forums Jersey scandal thread,I wouldnt be surprised if he had been involved in the child abuse that was going on in the children's home in Jersey. That turned out to be true! The truth about Thatcher will out,just as Petey said,it did with regards to Hillsborough,and I believe it will with regards to what she actually knew,and subsequently covered up regarding paedophilia.

We didn't want to give up the Falklands for the same reason that Argentina want it...oil! The very same reason the the US went to war with Iraq,Afghanistan etc.Its all about Oil.

So true tyler

[lookout]

I sort of don't agree to hanging on to that desolate far away place known as the Falklands,and it wasn't worth fighting for in 1982,,and certainly isn't now. Argentine can have it for all I care.
We should never have gone to Iraq,,and Saddam Hussein should have been left to his own devices,,not hunted down and killed.
This country is always blooming well interfering.

What a great post, sadly with Thatcher she divided a country when in power and she has left a country divided about her death. There is no middle ground you either love her or hate her sadly i fall into the later? I only know her as a politician who destroyed the working class Her legacy, therefore, includes the desolate, overgrown industrial wastelands which blight our towns and cities to this day, and the lost skills and prosperity of hard-working working class families across the land.”“She privatised our utilities, our energy, our railways and buses, our steel, our coal and much more. She introduced compulsory competitive tendering in our Local Authorities and openly encouraged private companies to win the bids by smashing workers’ terms and conditions. This is why we are paying today for her legacy not to mention the milk, the council houses, the 15 per cent interest rates the high unemployment and last the benefit culture we have today which thatcher created to try and keep the dole figures low?  See your own mother and father queue for their food parcel and collect the 3 pounds a day picketing money for over a year, yes they had a choice either go back to work or fight for your job i am proud to say they did the latter.  Secret files revealed the true motive – to provoke the powerful NUM into a dispute and defeat them, and thus pave the way for the destruction of the rest of the trade union movement, whom she dubbed ‘the enemy within helped along the way with the tory press baron Rupert Murdoch? This is a leader of british people and these are her own words when people talk of her being the iron lady they have short memories of the legacy she has left behind.

Hey Ralf Good to see you and what a brilliant post and without any nastiness....All true! However, I don't agree with dancing in the streets etc! Its morally wrong in my opinion.

Hi Ralf

good to see you on the forum I have really missed you.  An excellent post and my sentiments exactly. She divided families in the mining towns with Fathers on the picket line and their sons crossing it she was hell bent on destroying the unions and she was successful.  She was a ruthless cold woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her ambitions.  Did not harm me personally but I have seen plenty of broken people.

Hi Patti thanks, your right dancing in the streets is not for me either, this for me is a time for reflecting, reflecting on how my life would have been had it not been for thatcher how my mum and dads life would have been my 3 brothers lifes would have been my commrades lifes would have been?
