Margret thatcher the milk snatcher.
I despise her, everything to do with her and her "views".
Apart from her tory pro middle class anti working class views, her stance on Prisoners of war was disgraceful. In 1981 the Irish hunger strikers (the IRA) where in prison as criminals, instead of POWs. They went on hunger strike for thier rightful POW status and where still denied, under Thatchers government. 10 men died. But ofcourse, once her son is lost in a desert, the British army is right out to find him, which is disgraceful and sick.
Amonst other things to do with Thatcher was the Protection for the wealthy, and defence of the privileged, but what do you expect from a tory government?
I put her on par with Hitler. While she didn't openly kill thousands, she wanted it and even raised it in Parliment (The ethnic cleansing/removal of republican irish in northern ireland)
She'll die standing.
Over here, Thatcher, was, is & always will be loathed. My father called her 'Mussolini in tweed', it was fascism with a small 'f'.
She did nothing for the Catholics here, her policies here led to more deaths than in any other PM term. She sat by and let Political Prisoners die in a hunger strike when all they wanted was Political Status and to wear their own clothes. She made Martyrs out of 13 simple Irish Catholics who were willing to die for what they believed right. Naturally she is loved by the middle classes & Unionists here as she 'made the rich richer and the poor poorer'. Let's not even start on the Poll Tax debacle & the Minor Strikes which caused the biggest civil unrest seen in Britain since WWII, or her backing of a Peruvian dictator called Pinocet who regularly massacred anyone who opposed him just to re-conquer a group of small islands in the south Atlantic. Lastly her deep flow of prejudice against anything that didn't agree with her.
So to answer the original question as to if she is liked or loathed, it very much depends on your racial, social and financial status.
Yes. More security cameras and such than any other nation on Earth.
Best thing I've read on this thread, and likely the forum. Sums it all up very concisely.
What is going on? ignoring the posts by Gerry Adams and Martin Mcguiness. Britain is the most un-socialist country in Europe mostly due to 18 years of Tory rule and 8 years of Labour rule under tory economic ideals. We have one of the lowest tax rates in europe and are an highly competative Captilist society, with low levels of regulation. We are not as some seem to have concluded an stalinist commie country.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

Ignoring posts by Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness? Aye, alright Prince Harry :rolleyes:
Just what is your problem mister ? Am I not entitled to my beliefs , that overzealous American style capitalism is the bane of the poor and needy or am I wrong ? Is your society perfect,and moral and just ? Or am I just going to sit back and shut up while everybody maintains the illusion of " the Land of opportunity " - yeah, America the fabulous mountain of gold - you can take it, it's yours ! Oh , that is, if you're white.Yes, Hard to imagine an actual civilized debate could occur, even with your completely baseless anti-American stance throughout the whole ordeal.

I'm not saying that either government is perfect , but I oppose anybody who considers a socialist government inferior because it doesn't thrive on corporate greed !
To answer that: I am against any government that thrives on human sacrifice.
To get on the actual topic: I was annoyed with your "tone", not your words. Well, your words were annoying, too, but I recognize your right to your opinion. But you didn't disagree with America - you mocked it, which is why I made the parallel (did you miss that?).
Hate capitalism for whatever reason, but don't make a public mockery of every American who lives (happily) under it.
The last time I checked, I had been told that her protege was none other Tony Blair (due to the fact that Tony worked for her during his high school days).
The legitimate beef I have against her was the fact that she was actually more xenophobic than what the BBC claimed about Jean-Marie Le Pen back in 2002 about his xenophobic act (--sometime during the Thatcher administration, she had been targeting Filipinos when they were escaping Martial Law, which was blessed primarily by Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and occasional support from Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and that speaking of the devil, Margaret Thatcher).
