    Yet for all the "horrors" she's supposed to have caused with her policies not one has ever been reversed or cancelled even by those who use her to blame for everything..... odd thing huh ;)

    Every government hopes they lose an election from time to time. That way the other side have to do the really nasty difficult things once elected, get blamed, lose the next election and the first lot are back in but of course they never reverse those nasty difficult things.
    Cynic, you bet.

    I've withdrawn from the voting charade, purely as a protest, because there is just no alternative choice. When someone comes up with radical changes and are prepared to see them through then I will vote for them. Labour never reversed Thatchers policies because they wanted to keep the dissallusioned Tories who had voted for them on board, at the next election. What a way to present a party to the electorate. Now if a Monkey put himself forward, Hartlepool take note, then yes he could get my protest vote.

    "I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end." I think that this quote pretty much envelopes the personality of the "iron lady".While it is interesting and somewhat amusing to learn about mostly British views on their former Prime Minister I wonder if it is wise to discuss this on a forum with a focus on modelling. Therefore I will stay away from adding the viewpoint of a foreigner. She is now a person that has written history and possibly there is a day when her bust will be released as a companion to Mr. Churchill.
    Cheers, Martin

    Great lady who did what she said she would and wasnt bothered about being popular just for the sake of it. There again she won 3 elections so must have done something right.

    I can understand people not liking her but she deserves respect in death just as we all should.

    So on that basis I suppose we have to respect all people in death. No snidey remarks about Trotsky, Lenin, Hitler, Napoleon,Fred West, Jimmy Saville, Henry the VIII, etc etc, because they are now dead, and no matter what they done or how they affected people's lives, only accolades can be presented because they are now dead. Interesting view that, but not one I would go along with.

    She gave Scotland the Poll Tax a year before the English, Made all the traders in the South richer and stole everything from the working class, She Privatised the whole of the UK industry, killed the NHS with private funded initiatives, doubled the rate of inflation, rose VAT from 8% to 15%, increased unemployment to 1.4 million to to 3.5 million and also killed the industry in the North, whilst the South financially boomed.

    She made Britain better....for a select few........none of them Scots!

    Above all, not only was she bad for the country during her premiership, she continues to be bad for the country today. The causes of the present slump - unrestricted credit, deregulation and too much financial speculation - all date back to the 1980s. No successive government dared reverse these decisions: a blessing to her legacy, but a curse we must now all share.

    I for one will not shed any tears of regret at her passing.

    Apparently we lived in some kind of Eden in the 70's. There were no strikes, everyone did a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, there was plenty of coal and we didn't have power cuts nor three day weeks, the miners didn't bring down Heath's government nor the winter of discontent Callaghan's.........

    Maggie was a twat but she had the guts to stand up for what she beleived in.
    Give Argentina back to the Falklands. It's wasted on those inept wastrels. Just in my humble opinion.
    PS-Argentina-please send more hot chicks to the UK! (Private plea there-not sharing)

    I remember what the country was like before 1979 and it wasn't good!
    Maggie had more balls than the rest of the so called "Men" in government at the time and ever since. She was the right leader for the time but outstayed her welcome and somewhat lost the plot in the end.
    Yes, she had to go but even then no-one had enough spine to stand and face her, the cowards had to knife her in the back. Since she left office we havn't had a Prime Minister of any party worthy of the position.
    Just my personal view. (and not from the South of England either) :whistle:
