A truly evil bitch, I hate her with a passion.

So what are you talking about with your 60% reference?
Where do you get media blinded from, how about an adult ex troop who liked her. and to make a bold statement such as you can disprove everything either makes you arrogant or extremely intelligent. Please don't assume things.
And by the way I was brought up in the biggest anti Maggie environment possible ( a South Yorkshire mining village ) so media or outside influence has no bearing on my opinion.[/quote]
Media blinded is what Thatcher projected when pulling the wool over peoples eyes.
Waving the Union flag, does not make someone a national hero.
Ex trooper? Then respects. However, had I been a trooper under her, sent to that bog land to eject an invader and knew that her government could have avoided it, I'd have been pissed off.
She used it to get re elected after she was about to be booted out of office as one of the worst leaders this country had ever seen.
As EP says, I have more compassion in my left testicle than that woman had.
Want to reminisce with her reign?
Try these
Could we have a poll of who supports whom
Conservative : Romanis, 45red
UKIP: TrickyTreeReds
Abstain: Dam
What about you EP? Lib/Dem perhaps?
Es***lad is probably Labour, he gets as confused as 'Red Ed Miliband'.![]()
NB: If Boris Johnson ever becomes PM, I'm switching allegiances.
Just 1 thing about Maggie, I never liked her, I preferred Heseltine to her. She had her plus points for sure, but wasn't my cup of tea - but I didn't like Foot or Kinnock that much either. I thought John Smith would have made a great PM. Blair was ok for a while until he suddenly fell in love with the Americans. The decision to send troops to Iraq maybe even Afghanistan was a huge mistake. Maybe we should learn a thing or two from the Germans, just look at how well respected Merkel is and Germany ain't doing too shabbily either.

You're stoned aren't you?
Look up the Westland affair. Tory back stabbing scandal event. Resignation
Oh yes, I'm very well aware of Westland. But the culprit was Leon Brittan not him.
As I said I didn't like Maggie, and Heseltine was the only 1 at the time who had the balls to stand up to her, hence my support of him.
