Just Watching Thatcher A Very British Revolution On Bbc4

[ToraToraTora]

wonderful, just how lucky we were at the time, even you 5C types she saved though I'd never expect you to realise it. Forgive them Mags for they know not what they do.
Wish we had her today. Poltroons do your worst, a ton of you is not worth an ounce of her.

Thanks Tora

ynnafymmi, Labour would have had to call an election in the five month following the No-Confidence vote even if they had won it.

Do you think there would have been a different General Election result had it been held a few month later?

Episode 5: Downfall, is really good.

[FatticusInch]

Is a TV programme about a former PM really News?
Unless it’s going to do a follow-up about the imminent demise of the current PM?
Or is ToraToraTora just a bit weepy and teary-eyed that his current poster boy TGL(The Gigantic Liar) going the same way as his original wet dream TGL?

[FatticusInch]

Lol at Gromit.

[tonyav]

I'll skip the first four then, thanks Gromit.

// judge you said it better that i ever could. Stay here we both will have to deflect the 5C onslaught.//

Have you been at the sauce? The 5C onslaught is coming via the 1922 Committee, best you sober up and realise that.
Must be gutting to think that even Thatcher was ousted by her own too?
That was the problem then as it is now, zero loyalty among their own eh?
Just can’t trust ‘em, can you? Pmsl.

Ohhh that 1922 committee have always been a bunch of poltroon bunch of 5C's, FatticusInch.

Just watching episode five the now.

Exactly Tonyav, I remind ToraToraTora on a daily basis but he can’t grasp it.
It’s everyone’s fault except Johnson’s and his cabinet.

[tonyav]

End of, pmsl, savages etc.

[tonyav]

It’s everyone’s fault except Johnson’s and his cabinet.

Of coarse it is :-)

Is it on iplayer, THE CORBYLOON ?. If it is I might watch that tomorrow I could do with a laugh.

[FatticusInch]

What ToraToraTora fails to realise is that under Thatcher there wouldn’t have even been any sort of Partygate, she’d have had them all publicly flogged for behaving like lager-louts in Downing St and Whitehall and a buffoon like Johnson with his alley-cat morals and boorish behaviour wouldn’t have been allowed within 5 miles of Westminster, she at the very least knew what standards in public life were about.

Thatcher has Galtieri to thank for her good fortune in winning the 1983 election. Up to the invasion of the Falklands, Thatcher and the Tories had made a right town halls of the economy, with unemployment at record levels, even worse than the ad which said: Labour Isn't Working. They were massively behing Labour in the polls.

Having won the election, Thatcher then proceeded to wreak more carnage on the industrial base of this country than even Adolf Hitler could manage in WW2. Industries were being sold off to the venture capitalist cronies of her husband.

If you think she was good for this country, you mustn't have been affected by any of her govts actions and at the end of her tenure, had profitted financially from the hardship she brought to millions.

Those people who egged her new statue the other week should be ashamed of themselves for not pulling it down instead. They wouldn't have been prosecuted. A precedent has already been set on that. I was pleased when she pegged out and I went to a street party in Yorkshire with a few friends to celebrate. It was just 35 years too late. Good riddancce to The Ghasly Lump.

Apart from that, everything's fine thanks! :o)

BA there, 10 ClarionSt.

NJ @ 22.25:
//When you look at the way Mrs T sorted the country out, there's nobody that even comes close to her level of determination and grit that we sorely need.//

What industries would you like to see closed down for good, NJ? Like Thatcher did. Which ones are causing the problems that require closures followed by mass unemployment? I presume the ones which would not affect you, as they didn't under Thatcher. You weren't the only with a mortgage to repay at 15%. Lots of people who were unemployed had to pay that somehow. How much of your unemployment pay did you allocate to your mortgage?

Can't imagine an helmet (s) like BJ or his soft lad cronies intimidating or frightening me.
