she broke the unions and that was well deserved

[Islay]

She broke the unions and stopped the miners in their attempt to hold the country to ransom. Well done Maggie

Fender, Zero Hrs?
Nurses 1% in 7 years,
Low Min Wage,

Must admit I was always a bit of a fan of hers.

[Old_Geezer]

"Greatest" is certainly not an adjective I'd use for someone whose attitude to society, determination to remove all power from the working classes, and blinkered devotion to monetarism caused our country so many problems and division of the people. Even riots over the poll tax. Well, not unless it was followed by "problem" or some similar word. The only place she seemed to shine a little was in dealing with the EU, and even there she didn't make the changes we so desperately needed. This seems to simply be a sycophant's delight for those unable to admit the issues she caused.

[mikey4444]

Well said OG !

[Togo]

//issues she caused// ???

For those 3 false words read "issues She addressed". Thereafter earning the single minded focus of the poor decision makers in life who need someone to blame for their own follies, and their venomous hatred of a woman with more honour than the lot of them put together. :))

norman tebbit..get on your bike, i remember that one

[Teacup99]

Tebbit did not say that. He said, "My father got on his bike to seek work"

[fender62]

people still took offence to it, specially if they live where there was not work, unless you had a car? and the buses jsut happened to run in the direction of said work and at the hours required to egt to sadi work.

[fender62]

sorry typos

[Teacup99]

Shame you feel that way. I ♥'d MT and ♥ TM.

you are 69 10CS? then you must know the state of the country pre TGL, with your lefty union buddies holding us all to ransom. MrsT is a product of them, thank red Robbo and co for they were the disease in need of a cure. As TGL herself said the cure is indeed harsh but the patient will not survive with out it. Politicians of the era had already resigned themselves to managing decline into a Soviet Bloc member. open your eyes mate.

[ummmm]

It looks good.
