Tueday's Loose Women

[mickthemuppe]

How bitter and twisted is Jane McDonald on today's loose women. She used to be one of my favourite singers but not anymore. The subject is mainly Margaret Thatcher and the hate is on her face even when she is not talking.

[tonyav]

I'm afraid that Thatcher has that sort of affect.

[Connemmara]

I too like Jane but did not see Loose Women today - I am wondering was she very angry at something that Maggie done regarding miners - maybe I am wrong but I think Jane's dad was a miner. Perhaps I am off the beaten track. If I am - sorry.

[Maydup]

Never talk money or politics, especially with someone you admire.

[Connemmara]

don't really understand your point maydup - sorry - don't talk do you mean Jane or me.

[Connemmara]

sorry maydup - am laughing at my posting reading back - at someone you admire - and I say "me".

[Maydup]

Politics comes between the best of relationships, even if the connection is simply mick admiring someone from afar.

Jane McDonald is entitled to her opinion !

So, you only like people if they share your views - how odd !

She's STILL one of my favourite singers.

[China Doll]

How does her political view have any bearing on her singing?

[emmie]

a programme devoid of any use.

[anneasquith]

is she a northern lass ?

[Jubz]

Her father was a Scottish miner, could have something to do with it.

[ummmm]

Yep...she's from a mining family.

Many women disliked Thatcher because after a major victory for the female gender, she did nothing more to further the admirable cause of female equality. If anything she epitomised a third gender, one with more balls than the men.

[ummmm]

Maybe none of the women were up to her standard.

It's not 'bitter and twisted' to care about your country – and be angry at what one mad old witch did to it for personal glory. If you don't agree with that view, that's fine, just keep trying to convince yourself that MT was a good thing for the UK.

[emmie]

what makes you think that women hate her for not standing up for more women, frankly that baloney. As to what she did for personal glory, did she do things for that, or was she as been pointed out by her enemies as well as her friends, she did for the country she so obviously loved.
i will print this as i think it's pertinent.

"
let me give you my vision: A man's right to work as he will,
to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state
as a servant and not as master - these are the British inheritance.
They are the essence of a free economy...
and on that freedom all other freedoms depend"
MT October 1975.

i see nothing in those words that are shallow, mean and self serving.

[wimp]

Easy to tell where your allegiance lies em10!

[emmie]

it doesn't matter where it does, but to level charges at her that are patent nonsense, she was a patriot, loved this country,
those were her words not mine.

[wimp]

she loved this country!!! she hadn't got the guts to give the poll tax to her country in 1 go but used Scotland as a guinea pig,and when it was brought into England...well, you seen what happened then!

[emmie]

well you have the council tax now, i am sure you are thrilled with that.
