The day that Thatcher died

^^What?

Was Thatcher involved in killing Diana?

No but she probably causes cancer.

So has someone changed the song words to American Pie ....especially as it has the line the day the music died.

More like gruber/Uden circling each other to reenact the Thatcher vs Scargill conflict. This thread needs to present the chronological dramas of her life so we're nearly finished now.

Are you saying VU has a vagina?

I'd prefer it to end on a cock-joke if I'm honest. Or something like 'if I wanted loads of come back I'd have wiped it off your mum's chin when I was leaving this morning'.

Come. Cum. Back. Geddit. Night folks.

^^What?

Barstard, it took me a while to figure that out........someone quote me :P

From other areas of the internet:

Margaret Thatcher was the most divisive and polarising politic leader of the last century. This is an incomplete list of why many of us fall on the side that does not regard her with anything other than odium…

1. She supported the retention of capital punishment
   
2. She destroyed the country's manufacturing industry
   
3. She voted against the relaxation of divorce laws
   
4. She abolished free milk for schoolchildren ("Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher")
   
5. She supported more freedom for business (and look how that turned out)
   
6. She gained support from the National Front in the 1979 election by pandering to the fears of immigration
   
7. She gerrymandered local authorities by forcing through council house sales, at the same time preventing councils from spending the money they got for selling houses on building new houses (spending on social housing dropped by 67% in her premiership)
   
8. She was responsible for 3.6 million unemployed - the highest figure and the highest proportion of the workforce in history and three times the previous government. Massaging of the figures means that the figure was closer to 5 million
   
9. She ignored intelligence about Argentinian preparations for the invasion of the Falkland Islands and scrapped the only Royal Navy presence in the islands
   
10. The poll tax
    
11. She presided over the closure of 150 coal mines; we are now crippled by the cost of energy, having to import expensive coal from abroad
    
12. She compared her "fight" against the miners to the Falklands War
    
13. She privatised state monopolies and created the corporate greed culture that we've been railing against for the last 5 years
    
14. She introduced the gradual privatisation of the NHS
    
15. She introduced financial deregulation in a way that turned city institutions into avaricious money pits
    
16. She pioneered the unfailing adoration and unquestioning support of the USA
    
17. She allowed the US to place nuclear missiles on UK soil, under US control
    
18. Section 28
    
19. She opposed anti-apartheid sanctions against South Africa and described Nelson Mandela as "that grubby little terrorist"
    
20. She support the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and sent the SAS to train their soldiers
    
21. She allowed the US to bomb Libya in 1986, against the wishes of more than 2/3 of the population
    
22. She opposed the reunification of Germany
    
23. She invented Quangos
    
24. She increased VAT from 8% to 17.5%
    
25. She had the lowest approval rating of any post-war Prime Minister
    
26. Her post-PM job? Consultant to Philip Morris tobacco at $250,000 a year, plus $50,000 per speech
    
27. The Al Yamamah contract
    
28. She opposed the indictment of Chile's General Pinochet
    
29. Social unrest under her leadership was higher than at any time since the General Strike
    
30. She presided over interest rates increasing to 15%
    
31. BSE
    
32. She presided over 2 million manufacturing job losses in the 79-81 recession
    
33. She opposed the inclusion of Eire in the Northern Ireland peace process
    
34. She supported sanctions-busting arms deals with South Africa
    
35. Cecil Parkinson, Alan Clark, David Mellor, Jeffrey Archer, Jonathan Aitkin
    
36. Crime rates doubled under Thatcher
    
37. Black Wednesday – Britain withdraws from the ERM and the pound is devalued. Cost to Britain - £3.5 billion; profit for George Soros - £1 billion
    
38. Poverty doubled while she opposed a minimum wage
    
39. She privatised public services, claiming at the time it would increase public ownership. Most are now owned either by foreign governments (EDF) or major investment houses. The profits don’t now accrue to the taxpayer, but to foreign or institutional shareholders.
    
40. She cut 75% of funding to museums, galleries and other sources of education
    
41. In the Thatcher years the top 10% of earners received almost 50% of the tax remissions
    
42. 21.9% inflation
    
    

Most people recognise the massive changes that evolved during the 1980s. However, to ascribe the positive changes to one person, as though they never would have happened in her absence, is laughable.

Would you include care in the community as part of the NHS or would it deserve its own number?

What's wrong with care in the community?

Or did she fuck it up too?

Care in the community - the way we look after with enduring mental illness that need individual care and replaced with a one size fits all.

no, I'm on Twitter

Pffffffffffffff!!!!!!!

Care in the community - the way we look after with enduring mental illness that need individual care and replaced with a one size fits all.

The way people were moved from horrid asylums to eventual homes that are catered to their individual illness. Possibly forced upon a few too many people that had too many troubles in the community but an overall good thing nonetheless. I've overseen the moving out a person from an asylum to a home and have heard firsthand stories from others, they were not a nice place to be. No idea if Thatcher had owt to do with any of this and I know care has improved a lot of late and still has lots wrong with it.

F*ck the pseudo-socialists that can afford to shed a tear over pan-seared salmon on a bed of rocket. I will be raising a glass of Drambuie to Thatcher tonight, I may even follow it up with a sweet British sherry, while gloating over my free toy motorcycle from the Poll Tax Riots. Most of you kids would have filled you nappies when faced with 40 coppers in full riot gear.

I digress but one funny incident I do remember was a bunch of Chelsea supporters turning up out of nowhere and facing off the coppers. The fans all linked arms to form a human wall and stood their ground while the coppers advanced. Bear in mind when I joined the march with a few other mates heading into Trafalgar Sq. it was all really peaceful, families, kids, just a quiet march. When we stopped at Trafalgar Sq. and the police started to wade in it all kicked off, it really was a free-for-all.

You went and stole stuff. You are a cunt of the highest order.

You might like to think some of us lived in the North during this.

Just finishing my cider and this ones to celebrate the passing of worst person in uk politics ever.

Also morrisy is a twat (sorry WW)...

Does anyone else sense some sexual tension between UG and VU?

#drunkslikehashtags

Yup, it's got me going.

I'm pissed! And I'm supposed to be on a diet...

Oh also was going to rep oli for his first post I this thread, which I thought was well measured and put. But then he started argueing.

Also will, but he negged me and I'm still bitter.

And otters but apparently I've repped him too much...

The rest of you have mostly been dull.

More memes.

#whichthreadisthisagain?

Also can't be arsed to read VanUden's drivel over more than 4 pages.

It would be interesting to know who was born before 1979 to 1990 however?
