the socialist and trade union apologist simply hate that they can't produce a competent leader let alone woman leader. Look at the long list of corrupt or failed trade unionist who suck the public purse and have given nothing back to society. How that hate a woman who stood up to the rotton socialist and called a spade a spade. The vile prostitute on Q & A slagging off at Thatcher just shows how self righteous yet putried their brand is.

Hugo Young, Margaret Thatcher's biographer
wrote:

"Thatcher is remembered for her achievements, but
more than that, for a presence - she became a
phenomenon. A supremely self-confident leader -
she cared little if people liked her. She wanted
to win - but didn't put much faith in the quick
smile. This is a political style that has
disappeared from view..."

"Respected, viewed with awe, a conviction politician.
Her unforgettable presence - her policy achievements -
she was prepared to take risks ... she had a severity
of will."

As the old adage states:

"To practice what you preach and to maintain your
integrity you need to have strong convictions in your
beliefs and ideas."

Baroness Margaret Thatcher had that in spades.

Rest In Peace.

Poirot,

<<So was Morrissey the only person to ever raise anti-Thatcher views?>

No, there were many other contrarian celebrity opinionates who also attracted media attention for their advocacy of vegetarianism and animal rights” who publicly voiced their opinions of Maggie. What has that to do with your adopted opinion from Morrissey versus the British public?

The issues you fail to address is why, in your opinion, should we accept the views of a few such celebrity cretins against the overwhelming views of the British electorate over three elections?

You can yada, yada, yada as much as you like but sixth form juvenile adoption of a “Pop Stars” political view cuts no mustard with the British electorate.

What would you actually like to say to the British? Let me know as I can send a letter to the editor in the UK newspapers and see what sort of response your views get from them.

I'm sorry I asked that question because we all know on OLO that you won't answer the issues you have raised.But hey! Who cares about OLO when you are POIROT?

spindoc,

I don't really care.

I didn't like Thatcher's style and I've said so.

So what?

There are myriad pubic personalities in this world. Some appeal to me and some don't.

She's one who didn't.

No big deal - just an opinion and a couple of links.

It's a bit hypocritical for the same people who continually slag off at Gillard to complain about spiteful remarks made about Thatcher.

Of course, that should be "public".
