Thread Name: BS: What qualities in Thatcher do you admire
Subject: RE: BS: What qualities in Thatcher do you admire
I have no intention of becoming a Thatcher apologist, but this thread saddens me.
Comparisons with Hitler, Pol Pot and Ayotollah Komeini are absurd and ludicrous. Wishing here a slow, agonising and long drawn out death, is basically barbaric. I trust that that was a joke (abeit a poor one), ced2?
Thatcher certainly made lots of bad decisions, but she also did a few things that were really needed to help the general prosperity of the average Joe Bloggs.
To simply dismiss everything that she ever did as wrong and bad, is to show a show a small mindedness of the worst kind.
