you terrible c*nt 😉
She's got to hang on a wee while, I've not set up my dancing shoes stall at Euston just yet
'Thatcher dead' text sparks fears
Sparks fears about what ?
Sparks fears about what ?
fears that it wasn't true?
dont be silly she bathes in the blood of miners virgin daughters she had abducted back in 84- she will never die
Lets hope she hangs around (just) long enough to see her chinless wonder of a son banged up for financing mercenaries and arranging coups in Africa.
Lets hope she hangs......period.
I take it Scargill and his fellow-travellers are still crawling around the bottom of the pond somewhere?
Not many lovers on here then.

Yes Mr Woppit - Scargill is still alive (although the great Mick McGahey is dead)
Do you think there will celebrations throughout the former mining towns and villages of Britain when Scargill
dies ?
Indeed, and I'm sure the poor cat never hurt a sole (well maybe bird or two but still)... 🙄
although the great Mick McGahey is dead
I liked him
Couldn't understand a word he spoke mind 🙂
She is the living embodyment of Mr Burns.
[i]Not many lovers on here then. [/i]
hmm...a forum mostly populated by relatively intelligent british people...were you really expecting many?
I admire the womans intelligence to manipulate people.
Especially selling council houses cheap so people couldn't afford to strike 😯
And her contribution to ice cream freezing.
I would not be shedding a tear if she died, there was a lot things she needs to answer for like selling weapons and the Falklands dodgy as hell.
Oh how funny the day when she was ousted out.
...Mr Baird's beloved cat, named after his political heroine...
WTFFFFF?
No, I don't think there'll be many celebrations throughout the former mining towns when Scargill dies (although given the way his tactical imbecility destroyed the mining industry, perhaps there should be) and there'll probably be many when Thatcher dies, but so what?
I've said it before, but I for one, am glad that I'm not now living in the dreary bullshit bankrupt mini-Soviet statelet down to which, the **** union "leaders" of the 1970/80's were trying to drag us.
Breaking union power in 1984 was a good thing. Thatcher's problem was that she had no plan for what to do afterwards other than leave places like the South Wales Valleys to sink or swim under their own (non-existant) steam.
Like all politicians, good results and bad results.
Ho hum.
Meanwhile, the most famous lop-sided haircut in the land after Bobby Charlton continues to sound more and more like Enoch Powell with every passing day. Whinnying drivellite.
but so what?
Erm, I was thinking perhaps you might be able to answer that question Mr Woppit. After all, it was you who asked if Scargill was still alive.....indeed "[i]so what[/i] ?"
BTW, I was interested in your claim that it was Scargill who "destroyed the mining industry" despite your acknowledgement that his death, unlike possibly Thatcher's, won't be celebrated throughout the former mining towns and villages of Britain. Are former miners and people living in former mining communities all just stupid then ?
Also I would be interested if you could explain how Scargill destroyed the Notts coalfields.........the Notts miners were told that if they turned their backs on the NUM and trusted Thatcher, then their future would be bright and rosy. The Notts miners did exactly that and trusted Thatcher - so what happened Mr Woppit ?
Anyone else bored at work?
sorry -meant for another post! whoops.Anyone else bored at work?
ill be there 😀
celebrity deathlist favourite along wth michael barrymore
For the last [I don't know how many years] a local club has collected 50p/week off every member to pay for the party
The longer she keeps going, the better the party will be
Gutted cant wait till she dies
I have a good bottle of Champagne to waste on her
Last British leader capable of winning a war.
The Falklands are British, and if she'd let the Argentinians walk over us, Britain would be in a worse situation than it is now because all the bully boys would have been on us too.
Dunno about the miners though, I was in Oz then, and from there it sounded like a right stuff up on both sides.
Otherwise not a fan of hers.
Britain would be in a worse situation than it is now because all the bully boys would have been on us too.
What is that suppose to mean ?
That the rest of the British Empire would have followed ?
That other foreign countries would have claimed bits of the United Kingdom ?
That another "bully boy" would have forced us to fight in wars which we really didn't want to fight in ?
😕
It's ok Ernie, I don't like her.
Just commenting that the UK would have then been seen as a soft target. Don't know who would have had a crack though. Just giving perceptions we had overseas.
Iceland most likely 🙂
Fan - we could do with her back right now.

They must feel let down,how would they possibly forgive the conservatives for that !! http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/home/your_council/elections/electionresults.htm

"The Falklands are British, and if she'd let the Argentinians walk over us"
But she did. she and her cabinet ignored everyone who was telling them that if they didn't tell the Junta to get back in their that they would dream up the balls to invade.
All they needed to do was park a warship down there for a few weeks.
And then the Argies did walk all over us.
I'll have tears in my eyes the day the bitch dies. but they won't be from sadness.
most disappointing thread title ever
Aye, total disappointment.
( nice to see the nice words for Mick M though)
Actually, I dont think that Thatcher was ever really evil- in a different life she would have been seen as someones dotty old 'Victorian' aunt.
However as a slightly mad conviction politician she 'gave people permission' to give in to the greedy, selfish and prejudiced aspects of their natures , to undermine social values that were a long time building.
For that at least (and of course her love for Scotland) I'll be having a party when she snuffs it.
Miners mmmm remember walking past a building in Victoria in central
London and seeing loads of Police and press and film crews all
looking through open windows in the early hours.
I asked a copper what was going on he said to take a look its the signing
of the end to the miners srtike.
@ Mr Woppit ....... It must true because "Minette Marrin" says so in the First Post ?!! 😀
Well Mr Woppit, Peregrine Worsthorne says also in the First Post, that Winston Churchill wasn't really a war hero ...... is that also "true" then ?
[url= http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/45677,news-comment,news-politics,where-churchill-got-it-wrong-peregrine-worsthorne ]Why Winston Churchill is not really a war hero[/url]
But anyway Mr Woppit, you have conveniently avoided answering my question, ie : the Notts miners were told that if they turned their backs on the NUM and trusted Thatcher, then their future would be bright and rosy. The Notts miners did exactly that - they didn't go on strike, and they trusted Thatcher - so what happened to all the pits in Nottinghamshire, eh ?
.
They must feel let down,how would they possibly forgive the conservatives for that !!
*chuckles* ......... if only life was that simple, eh ?
As they say ....... [i]"a week is a long time in politics"[/i]
...as your link roddersrambler, does an excellent job in highlighting - the Labour Party went from having a clear majority on Nottinghamshire County Council earlier this year, to losing control of the council and two thirds of their seats !
i think that thatcher is a evil woman
i think that her politics where personal, she did what she wanted.
on the day she die i for one will raise a glass or 2 to celebrate.
any man/woman with any sense at all must surely be able to see that the shytehole that we live in turned sour in the thatcher years of the early eighties.
and for all her supporters on here, take a ride/drive/walk around the towns and villages that she ripped the hearts out of
barnsley, sheffield, rotherham, doncaster, mansfield, chesterfield,wakefield,castleford, featherstone, pontefract, nottingley, hundereds of villages around south wales, dozens of villages and town in the north east, towns and villages all over the north west..........
After what the Tories done to the country
If anyone had a brain should never give the Tories a vote.
Tories was happy for the intrest rates to hit 15% and no help
one bit what so ever.
Thatcher even sold off the council housing to have a strong hold
on the working class people.
They even had this policy called the done thing even though individual
politicans done wrong and you expected them to kick them out of office
They stayed, The Bastards thought they was untouchable even more so
when you see there faces when the electrole votes came in they was in total shock.
Barstards Scum Bastards
I'll suggest that if she had the courage of Major she could have saved hundreds of lives in Norn Iron. But she didn't.
Did you know, the mines in Russia where much of the coal burnt in our power stations comes from have the same safety standards as the 1890s UK coal industry. It won't be long until the UK starts using its own (massive) coal reserves again.
if we can pump the water out of the mines...
Hmmmm, kind of gross overreactions from people here over someone who quite clearly is not evil. While not a card carrying Maggie fan I don't subscribe to the view that she was evil and with my memories of the times this country was in a right state, mostly down to the incompetent labour government and the power crazy unions who seemed to have forgotten that their founding role was to protect and support their members and not to hold businesses to ransom. Sure, the greed cycle that emerged during the 90's was not edifying or good in any way there are still a number of fundamental changes that were made during those tory years that changed this country for the good. But how much of that is down to the government and how much is down to individual people and their choices? I also think you will find that the tories were NOT happy to let interest rates go up to 15% but had to do it to keep our compliance with the ERM. They had the courage at the time to come out of it - something labour would have been happy to carry on supporting as they want us to be a full part of Europe. You can't have it all. 🙂

They had the courage at the time to come out of it ? 😕
No they didn't. Interest rates where at 15% in October 1989 [u]three years before[/u] September 1992, when on Black Wednesday, Britain was [u]forced out[/u] of the ERM - because the government was unable to keep sterling above its agreed lower limit...... nothing to do with "courage"
And far from the Tories being "not happy" with high interest rates as you claim, they were very happy indeed - 'high interest rates' are a vital characteristic of monetarist policies and it's obsession with inflation/money supply.
Consequently Thatcher's government [u]deliberately[/u] pushed up interest rates to obscene levels. Within 6 months of being elected in 1979, the Tories had pushed up interest rates to 17% ! And they kept interest rates at 12-17% throughout the recession of the early 80s .... that's how they managed to get 3 million unemployed.
You obviously have a very rose-tinted memory of the Thatcher years Bikingcatastrophe 😐
Well, it seems that the majority of people will be a having a Thatcher Death Party (I hope the crap-eyed ghost dies on a Bonfire Night so we can have flaming effigies every year). This is deeply reassuring, I sometimes think people have forgotten how vile the 80s were and that Thatcher's evil black heart beat at the centre of it all, supercharged by Mad Ron's nuclear powered pacemaker.
