it was indeed, pure demagogy

that said, banking reforms were necessary, growth was anemic in those days because of the destruction effect of inflation, so a change at the Federal Reserve and a new economic approach was necessary. Of course, this brought the perfect conditions for "economic religions" of all sorts to be tested, and here we are now. It did work quite well in retrospect if it wasn't for the abuse of the system. Her decisions were purely political ones, not economic.

Selling government assets was a pure scam, and a few European countries followed the same route. I am sure a few government officials are feeling sorry for it now.

Thank you. If he had the least idea of what it entailed, he would be pleased it has gone. Have you looked for my old school on the web ? Do so and learn.

^...or read some DH Lawrence....

However, Mrs T was all about not allowing the Unions to dictate Government Policy, which was clearly undemocratic. She put England back on the Map after the unrest of the 1970's. Anyone who lived through the 3 day work should be thankful rather than being ungrateful.

Pinochet was also a great admirer...

Well, that's what he was along with his modern-day protege Mugabe.

Lovely living conditions in Rhodesia & S. Africa these days for the White & Black, eh? :chitown:

Whoever bumped this thread is a bell end, I was hoping she'd been hospitalised again.

'Mark Thatcher will be jailed for role in coup,' vows dictator | Mail Online

I hope they catch up with the bastard and jail him.
I had dealings with him a long time ago and my opinion that he is a complete cnut has never changed.

Conisdering his background, growing up as a child in a criminal household it's hardly surprising he's turned out to be a rotten apple. Only the continuing presence of the old hag has prevented him from doing stir.

If President Teodoro Obiang has any trouble finding a suitable executioner then I will gladly do the job.

...and vice versa, I believe Thatcher was particularly impressed with the way he went about keeping his detractors down...she just didn't have the opportunity to do it herself.

Margaret Thatcher 'absolutely fine' after surgery.

Good News or What? :)


https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/12/2228.jpg

London (CNN) -- Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher "has undergone surgery to remove a growth in her bladder" and is currently recovering in the hospital, her spokeswoman, Gillian Penrose, said Friday.

Thatcher, 87, is doing "absolutely fine" after the operation, her spokeswoman said. She was admitted to the hospital Thursday and is expected to be kept overnight.
Britain's only female prime minister, Thatcher served from 1979 to 1990 as leader of the Conservative Party. She was called the "Iron Lady" for her personal and political toughness.

She enjoyed a close friendship and working relationship with the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan, with whom she shared similar conservative views.
Thatcher retired from public life after a stroke in 2002 and suffered several strokes after that.

She makes few public appearances. She missed a reception in honor of her 85th birthday hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron in October 2010 and skipped the unveiling of a statue of Reagan in London in July last year."

Long live Lady Thatcher! :)

^Good, long live the great woman.

I see that CNN doesn't bother checking basic facts. She was leader of the Tories from 1975 and PM from 1979.

I worship the ground thats coming to her.

so sad to see the slow decline of this brave politician, brilliant economist, down to earth housewife and saviour of britain after the dark years of labour.

she was everything tony blair wasnt and i, along with i'm sure, all other hard working self reliant decent people, wish her a speedy recovery.

Agreed.

I'm going to drink a lot of beer in the queue to piss on the hag's grave.

It's probably an age thing. Those who were too young to remember her bigoted ignorant destruction of the economy and the lives of thousands of hard working people have only the Murdoch press and dumb arse BBC to rely on for their opinions. The rest of us know better.
