Wrong, she created the under class, unless you grew up on a working class estate you would not know how thinks changed when it came into power.

 

ermm, my parents and all our neighbours all worked...my dad doing 60 hours a week

 

so please don't preach to me about growing up on a working class estate

 

if you mean a council estate maybe you should have said so ;)

 

you're not on one anymore are you

 

you reckon the commies had that lined up for you?

Wasn't nice leaving school when Thatcher was incharge, YTS etc but after years of Labour overspending it was never going to be a honeymoon. I'll never forget the Falklands conflict, her speech for the lads victory was something I'll never forget, heaping praise, not on herself or cabinet, but soldiers. Made me a very proud teenager at the time :)

I did mean council estate, where do the commies come into the equation? I don't think that's relevant. For the record my old fella worked peacework for 30 years and is still stuck on a council estate so I'm still in touch, she and her blue blood tossers vindictively sacrificed millions of British jobs, destroying countless working class towns, most have never recovered. Don't give me that flag waving bollocks, she shat on the working classes, the same people who built the country, and whose sons and daughters fought in the Falklands. Granted UK plc needed sorting out but the way she went about it was all wrong.

The most divisive politician in modern UK history. If I'm honest, while I have vague memories of her being in number 10, I was too young to really make a judgement of how she did in office. I know what things are like now, but I've only got stories to go off about what things were like before, all of which tend towards hyperbole depending on which side of the fence you sit.

 

As to how she did, I know if you ask my Father's side of the family, she was a sociopathic monster, hellbent on destroying the working classes and who spawned a generation of greedy, self centred, purely money orientated oiks with no soul. If you ask my Mother's side of the family, she turned the country from an ailing, flagging no hoper into a modern, forward thinking land of milk and honey where with hard work and determination, you can rise up the greasy pole to riches.

 

Consequently, I have grown up wearing a flat cap and clogs with a monocle and a top hat, and my hero is George Orwell who despite being born into money, isn't afraid to jump on a cheap Easyjet flight Spain and fight in the International Brigades.

 

It's very confusing - but goes to prove my original point about Thatcher splitting the country down the middle.

She certainly does divide peoples opinions.

 

Having said that, I believe that she won 3 general elections and was Primeminister for over 10 years - so she can't have been that hated, as the British public had plenty of time and two opportunities to get rid, and didn't

If 49% of people ahted her and 515 loved her it would.

 

The Falklands is a funny one, yes she 'defended' english soil, but was it worth the lives that were lost?

 

I honestly do nt know, would a better politician stop the situation occuring ?

True enough! 10 years, bloody hell. The way a lot of people talk about her, you'd think there would have been civil war after about 6 months!

 

Apologies for not sticking the time bomb smiley in my last comment about the Belgrano btw before I get pilloried! Here's a belated one.... =@
