RIP Maggie - may you rest in peace
Things Margaret Thatcher DIDN'T Do:
1) Abandon the Falkland Islands to the Argies
2) Cow down to the IRA
3) Allow 200,000-plus immigrants into the UK every year (it was between 13 and 50 thousand)
4) Institute the Human Rights Act, thus allowing murderous scum & terrorists to live here with no chance of kicking them out
5) Roll over and allow Europe to dictate what we can and can't do
6) Run up huge debts by spending money the country didn't have and getting our credit rating reduced

It comes to something when David Beckham manages to be more bipartisan and reflective than Glenda Jackson (he was also rather more coherent, which really ought to worry her constituents)...
I saw it, Roland. Fortunately I understand this will be her final term, otherwise I'd be tempted to suggest that she was trying to endear herself to her voters to see if she could improve on her 42 vote win last time. Still, shameful behavior from someone who should know better.

I wonder if the grave digger will personally deliver her to Satan???
Good riddance to bad rubbish, ding dong.

Facebilge and others of that ilk aren't my cup of tea-I think they're a tool of the devil.But I can't help being intrigued by their ability to unite people into groups.
What really disappoints me are the things that don't motivate people to unite and,more pointedly,the things that do
For example buying a certain record to push it to number 1.
Yet another of those more frequent occasions I am embarrassed to be English.

Pious Pilot - you assume that the principal task of a Government is to pass more laws.
I'd argue that it's often the reverse that is the task

State funeral??? Have the plans changed? Wouldn't that require the approval of Parliament? Or maybe someone's got their facts wrong.

AA,
By using the word "assume" you are crediting Pious Pilot with the ability to use his brain. His post is merely an unthinking, inappropriate addition to this thread, which shows him to be a complete c**t!

Public day of mourning on Falklands

Very appropriate ... well done the Falklands

The Falkland Islands will hold a public day of mourning next Wednesday as a mark of respect on the day of Baroness Thatcher's funeral, according to the Falkland Islands Government.

I'd argue it's to improve life, not ruin it for millions.
She didn't build, she destroyed.
Satan is waiting for the Tory **** 1.3Vstall, just as it will for Tony Blair when his time arrives.

Odd that the material in PP's link doesn't mention (say) the Attlee government's gross mishandling of the 1947 fuel crisis or the 1949 devaluation which came about from allowing Dalton and to a lesser extent Cripps control the Treasury.
It also shows a gross misunderstanding - probably wilful - of the way in which primary legislation is enacted and amended. It's propaganda that... that... I'm trying not to invoke Godwin's law here... that.. ah, I know... clearly emanates from those for whom dissembling and misrepresentation is seen as a good thing, so long as it is for their own political ends and not challenged.
