she was the first female britsh prime minister and although she wasnt much liked at the time she was arguably the best prime minister of all time. She didnt put a foot wrong until the end and england went downhill after she left.

Context-dropping at its finest, eh?
Now I'm compelled to go and look into Thatcher more.
She's hot,
and I'm sure she has a classy accent.
She was strict and wore man-clothes, didn't she?

no she allways wore skirts and womens hats.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

Lol,I remember when her idiot son got lost in the Sahara Desert and made her cry in public.So much for the " Iron Lady " facade.
Yes, how weak a person it is who is worried their child may be dying of dehydration.
Oh yes, she was a FANTASTIC woman.
You know, all that selling off public industries in order to make money for the government, when she had no ownership over them, they belonged to the public.
Then of course, the inevitable decline due to privatisation and companies working entirely for shareholders rather than customers, since the customers are very much a captive audience.
Oh and Negative Equity from a housing market collapse, that was LOVELY too.
Wonderful woman, almost killed Britain.
And her son is one of the most feckless and dishonest people to ever have existed, I do rather wish he had remained forever lost in the desert.
Yeah. If that's weak, then I'm about as strong as a worm. That got stomped on a few times to death.Yes, how weak a person it is who is worried their child may be dying of dehydration.
I still know nothing about Margaret though. I just know that she was strict and oldand that she was pretty hot.
Edit: That was pretty mean spirited, so I decided to edit this.
It seems to me that your dislike for Thatcher stems largely from the fact that she destroyed the welfare state. However, I feel this is a virtue, and that there is no such (real) thing as "ownership of the public". Sadly, she did own them (if not in theory, then in reality) because any time an industry is owned by the people, it means that they are owned by the government.
Privatization of a company is a good thing; the government has no right to get involved in the actions of its citizens.
Sadly, the woman wasn't able to really get rid of the Welfare State (something tells me that might take awhile, anyway). However, she did seem to do some good, and other than her decline at the end, she seemed to pull Britain through a stale economy.
And no one should bring up her son; she has no control over the actions of another.

With the privatisation of industry, the entire infrastructure fell into dissarray, prices for services rocketed and quality plummeted. Only now with the railways and buses being more closely monitored have they started to rise out of the mire that woman dumped them in.
Oh, and another thing, where did the money from all the sale of public industry go?
Why, to tax cuts for the rich!
The welfare state and public services are what separate us from a chaotic, capitalistic mess of a country, a land where profit is the only goal. That, to me, sounds more akin to dystopia than anything else.
The woman culled industry and tried to convert this country into an entirely service-based economy. Now how can you think that is a good thing? Because of Thatcher, the previously ironic term of "Coals to Newcastle" now ACTUALLY happens, it's disgusting.
She did NOTHING to help the British economy, and neither did her hopeless successors, the point of negative equity is a fairly heavy one, people left with next to nothing in a society that was turning into one where money was the only thing that mattered.
And when you're left bankrupt in a profit-based society, what's the point?
The reason her reign of terror ended was because her own party had her removed, even they hated her.
I remember some racist statements by her... >:O
And she failed to understand how radio works.
Stating "I can't see you, where are you?" when recieving a call from a person phoning to talk to her.
I don't have an opinion, but I've heard mostly good things about her. Reading through this thread, it seems to be because she had a capitalistic take on things, which would naturally ally her with the States, so there ya have it. :\
Which is why America, which is far more evil in its capitalistic (i.e. free) approach to things, will always be steps ahead of Britain, drowning in socialism.
