What were you doing when Thatcher was at the peak of her power?

I was on the dolio, bringing up a kid. desperate for a way out. Then she brought in her much maligned schemes

and I was one of the lucky ones

To only comment on things that affected me personally - well her opposition to the German reunification was pretty outrageous. (I am however utterly amused that Kohl and Merkel have somehow completely forgotten about that, judging by their official reactions to her death.)

Thatcher was right to be worried about German reunification: it could have upset the Russians at the time.

Anyway, a fat lot of good reunification has done the Germans. With 87m people and a strong economy they are now the dominant force in Europe, which is exactly what they don't want to be.

If you see it as ongoing hatred for actions now well in the past, as I suppose would be reasonable if you were not around then, then you might well find it ridiculous. I can let the past go, but to me this is not the past: for me, she took my civilised country and broke it, and it is still broken.

That's one view. Here is another, you're talking sh!te.

Thatcher saved us from ever being held to ransom by unions again.

Not THAT lucky though EO. You ended up in the REME didn't you?

Well now we have the bosses of the big banks who have been bailed out with billions of tax-payers money holding the country to ransom.
Why are million pound bonuses being paid to employees of failed, now state owned banks?

The failure of the banks happened under labours watch. If you are saying that Thatcher should never have deregulated the banking system then say itcand argue it or make some sort of attempt to argue the link.

Your obsession with Thatcher is a bit freaky.
Try and argue ( to use your demotic argot) my point about banks holding the country to ransom you little retard of a man.
