I don't think a society that caters to all of it's members instead of just the rich can ever be described as "drowning".

Thatcher - champion of capitalism !!!!!
My thoughts exactly.So you consider Margaret Thatcher to be a national hero of some kind ?A credit to the British people in the face of economic recession ?Originally Posted by Lindy
Well she isn't - think about it, nearly undermining the original aims of the health service,dismantling the Welfare State,declaring the miners strikes of 1985 " illegal ",imposing the poll tax on her guinea pigs, Scotland,trying to tax Live Aid for Christ's sake and if that's not enough publicly supporting the figurehead of a regime responsible for the suppression and murder of thousands of innocent people !
If the current British Prime Minister finalizes his cabinet's policy then she surely Thatcher dictated it in what we call " Thatcherism ".That roughly translates as the suppression of the poor for the benefit of suburban living snobs.
Now I'm no authority on political criticism of any kind,but I know fine well that Margaret Thatcher could NEVER be considered a national hero among the vast majority of working people in Britain even more than a decade on since she was finally forced out of government by her own Cabinet.I've read all of your posts and understandably,the vast majority of you being American, seem to have very little idea of the situation under Thatcher's government in the 1980's and her effect on the country as a whole - the truth is that some of you seem to hail her as a champion of American style capitalism on British soil.Well here's my response.
Ideally,if it were up to some of you,Britain under Thatcher would be like a" little America", yeah that's right just an extension of the world's self-proclaimed hyperpower into the world while Bush " liberates " people in distant lands, all the while under the god almighty shell of so-called American morality where there is " justice " and " equality ", the streets are teeming with FedEx, and McDonalds and oh , not to mention , violent drugs and gun crime,racial tension,MTV, and a floundering education system all courtesy of an organization of senile, self-righteous, totally corrupt and incompetent scumbags that we call " Congress" where a superior,simian looking twat sings the praises of the Lord on his all-conquering armies while they are slaughtered in their thousands for the pursuit of liberty,justice and oil as a rich economic resource to be reaped and later dumped in the Atlantic with no regard to environmental issues ... oh , oh excuse me , did I say that ? OIL ?! Oh no no, it's ok it's ok let's just get Canada to stop leeching off us and brutally murder some innocent seal colonies while we hoard our cash to fund our multi-million dollar corporate industries which ruthlessly crush all opposition and suck up natural resources to further pollute our environment so some fatcat can get his paycheck every Friday.
Oh my god, I guess some of you are going to be really pissed off with me,basically criticizing your great,great nation's entire society and all , me being an ignorant little " Britisher " and therefore,the citizen of a inferior socialist government, which,did I mention occupied large parts of American soil at one point !? Face it - Britain will always be Britain -America will always be America so damned be the day,that all conquering American capitalism replaces the catering of the needy and poor in these dangerous times.
Oh and don't forget ... GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!! * drapes himself inthe stars and stripes and dances in an outrageous show of patriotism*
PS :
I'M MY OWN MILF , whatever the hell your name is/ supposed to be, Margaret Thatcher's son is a deceiving,arrogant bastard who deserved to be left in a West African prison cell to contemplate his stupidity and all, along with all the other so-called celebrities and the " Royal family " that continually piss me off with their absurd public appearances.
If you don't like the fact I found the desert incident vaguely amusing then sue me or go to hell.
Thankyou !

I found the whole "I wasn't part of a coup, honest" incident a lot more amusing than the incident in the desert, but to be frank, they're both hilarious.
Fixed.
Ok, no problem. If your family or friends are ever in a dire situation, I'll be sure to laugh at your weakness for giving a crap about them.PS :

Lord, and people think us Capitalists are the heartless ones?
I was just saying,Thatcher was only demonstrating her deepest humanity by crying in public.Not the Iron Lady typified in the media.
Yes, well, I don't care who you are, I'll forgive you for crying (In public or private) if your sun is missing in the middle of the desert. And I won't care about what the media has made you out to be, either.
Edit: Of course, I meant 'son', but the irony is too delicious to be deleted.
Thatcher may be a b*tch but she is damn sexy
I've only heard bad things about her, but I know nothing of British politics.
Thatcher didn't adopt an american style of captilism she simply reintroduced the pro buisness attitude of the country at it's height during the mid to late 19th century. American economic attitude as with most things in America is based on the British model. The introduction of the welfare state was in the mid 20th century and mostly on accepted due to the poverty caused by the second world war. It has far outstayed it's welcome and created an workforce that is lax in it's own initative.
P.S Thatcher was forced out only over her dislike the further European intergration an issue which i may point out the majority of the country agrees with her on.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

Oh, Miss Thatcher. I hate her, of course. Basically, she represents the opposite end of the spectrum in my political beliefs.
Funny how Alan Moore did V for Vendetta in the 80s. In the introduction, he said before miss Thatcher got to the goverment, he would have never believed England could fall into fascism. Yet, with Thatcher on the goverment, he said he felt like "we are getting close to it".
So yes, the good thing of Margaret Thatcher is that she inspired Alan Moore.
My god I hate most British people
Because we're not right-wing, heartless capitalists?
What a shame there, we're so hurt you hate us.
I'm the opposite. xD I think I like British people too much, they're the only people I talk to anymore.My god I hate most British people
No, because you're heartless, greedy socialists who would enslave its own people. I mean, what the hell kind of brainwashing program were you raised on? "Capitalist" is hardly an insult.
Lol, greedy socialists.
