You really think so Wobbley?

Thacher saved & rebuilt a country, not destroyed a country & sent it broke.

If Thacher said I will do something, you had better believe it was about to be done, & done properly.

She kept her promises.

Yes Poirot, I do understand.

I understand that you are walking backwards so fast you are about to go over the cliff.

You did not know Maggie, you knew nothing of her policies, what she was trying to fix, what was happening in Europe or how the British were feeling about things, which is wildly contradictory to your perspective.

But that’s OK because no cognitive skills are required to adopt someone else’s ideological hissy fits.

Can you please go back to your little book of “mean comments from other people of everyone you are supposed to hate”, and find the next sentence you are required to utter.

You will find some interesting stuff in the section headed, “Thoughts from the Great Political Minds of the Drug Induced Paranoia of the 1980’s Pop Group Intelligencia”

Many thanks in anticipation and please let us know when you become capable of original thought.

I know, I know, somebody really does love you.

Hi there LEXI...

Thank you for your evocative words on this most worthy topic of yours. As usual, you have such a lovely turn of phrase that, that personally I find it difficult to follow up with anything nearly as elegant as your words.

BELLY ol' chap, I hope you're well ? Your comments relating to the many workers losing their jobs, as a consequence of the policies of Mrs Thatcher. Her main protagonists were the Mining Unions NOT the miners themselves. The head honcho of that particular union, a gentleman by the name of Arthur Scarsdale, was both a dedicated thug and a standover man, who occasioned some dreadful 'punishments' to those he determined as 'scabs' all in the name of union unity.

These punishments were so diabolical in their execution, both police and even the military had to spread the word to 'ease up' or else ? After all, it was just an Industrial Dispute, not a IRA attack ?

How do I know I you may well ask ? You recall me speaking sometime ago BELLY, of training I did with the RUC, Ulster ? Well back then, it also involved personnel deployed from 21 Sqn, SAS Hereford. Several of them had recounted to me, directions they'd received to interdict the activities of unions with their threats of violence, and actual violence.

For some political expediency, apparently it had been determined it should be removed from the usual purview of the various county constabularies, and was subsequently allocated as an additional remit for the Army to undertake ?

So serious and protracted was the miners strike, it was perceived as an actual threat to the fiscal stability of the United Kingdom. Many striking miners, wished to return to work, but the hard core executive and Scarsdale said no ! Many miner and his family were virtually staving, but NOT the union executive ? By all accounts this Arthur Scarsdale was a real piece of work !

to understand the refugees from her Briton, just to get work.
Belly,
You mean workers like those at Holden right here in Australia ? The ones who believed their unions would help them get better conditions ??

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

Exactly right Wobbs.

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

What does lack principle is to deliberately misquote, making things up as you have done. That is to lie.

If you go back to my post you will see that I criticised two things:

- first, those who are falling over themselves to say disgusting things while the family and nation is so recently bereaved and in mourning. Good taste alone should preclude that tacky behaviour; and

- Secondly, Foreign Minister Carr, who who fell over his own feet and contradicted what his own PM was saying in his indecent haste to play the racism card while the body was still warm. Carr is a loose cannon.

Now what about answering those points instead of making up your own as a scurrilous Strawman argument to score a point?
