Between them those three Lib-Lab-Con politicians have wrecked the economy and manufacturing base of our country and we're now suffering the worst recession in living memory as a result.

OK, it wasn't Mr B.liar and Mr Brown who deregulated the stock markets, instigated the cult of privatisation and unleashed the hounds of greed that Thatcher's policies encouraged but they are loyal to Thatcherism and the treasonous love of the European Union nonetheless.

She was a tough old cow who held her own in a mans world. She certainly did that in Spitting Image in the scenes in Gents in the house of commons. I loathed her at the time but 30 years on and I put what she did into historical perspective. Its a bit like football, we had to have our Pulis and Tinnion eras to get to the Gary Johnson. And although Tony Blair gets a bad press now, he was at the forefront of making Labour electable again, and was doing OK until a combination of 9/11/The so-called War on terror/George Bush/WMD and the invasion of Iraq. Its just unfortunate that all these things were inextricably linked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Tony Blair was revelling in being an allied Iraq war leader his son was sent to the Bahamas to be as safe and as far from the conflict as possible.

Markman Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Sadly I could not resist this thread - I think what amzes me is that some people still genuinely say they admire her - and wasn't she firm and strong - and they mean it??!! Maggie T - her actions and visions were so extreme she would have been barred from joining the 4 horse riders of the apocalypse. I will be at the party celebrating her demise she was a an evil dispicable rat bag - watch out Satan when she joins you she won't settle as one of your Lieutenants I would not "p" on her if she was on fire or puke on her if she was starving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Labour ministers are the new Thatcherite Tories with their second homes and lavish expense claims paid for with our hard earned taxes.

(clues are there...) So according to record... 1st June 1947 ....? / 1st June 1967....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about 1947, but 1st June 1967 was the release date of The Beatles' iconic album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. And you have given the clue "it was getting better" - 4th track on the album was "It's Getting Better" not to mention "A day in the life" the last (official) track. As I write this I now realise what happened on 1st June 1947! It was the day Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play!!

Think I've fixed that hole Oh bugger... thought that was going to be harder than it was.. ... Well done Dazzler! Back in the 60's/70's things werent 'easy' but 'we' (the youth) did have a kind of 'togetherness' & optimism for the future ('A' Bomb permitting ) ... The word 'us' meant 'you & me' - then it all started to go pearshaped, greed & selfishness became the politics of the day & all that togetherness went out the window.. Milk Snatcher Thatcher finally putting the nail into the coffin of Britains youthful dreamers.. The Beatles etc were a big part of that shared optimistic future of the post-war sixties- until 'us' became 'ME' & 'them' ... ... Thatchers council house sell offs sold false dreams for some (I'm all right Jacks) but those dreams became nightmares for many others who to this day continue to stuggle just to get roofs over their heads. Bankers, Profits, Company Streamlining, Asset Stripping etc, Shareholdings, Corporate Bonuses big money for some crumbs for everyone else, service industries replacing once respected British manufacturing (& working class skills) ... Rip Off Britain (ripping off our own) began to emerge.. Twenty Years Ago Today - Sgt Pepper taught the band to play... Thirty Years Ago today Thatcher began making Britains people pay!!.. & we've given it all away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy you a pint because I know that Sheffield suffered far worse than Bristol under Thatcher. For those that don't know - Sheffield had a world famous steel industry until Thatcher and her cronies had it destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 More importantly it's 30 years ago that the mighty 2Tone record label was born against a backdrop of recession, unemployment and Thatcherism. Somehow the Specials launched a generation of politically-aware kids that just wanted to dance: No war, no racism, "**** Art, Let's Dance!" And so moving forward 30 years we have this generation of geezers, late 30's, early 40's, football fans, patriotic Brits the lot of em, who would gladly see all of those war-mongering polititian bastards dead, and will dance at their funerals to 'Gangsters', 'Ghost Town' and - in the case of Thatcher - 'Little Bitch'. The good news is that the Specials are touring again for the first time in 28 years and I'm off to see em in Leeds in a couple of weeks. A certain symmetry with BCFC maybe? - a dramatic return to glory in the midst of a catastrophic political and economic decline? Hope so.
