Subject: RE: BS: Punishment for riots
Responsibility?   When she called me "the enemy within" for having a job down the pit, what perspective should I have put on it?

When she personally ordered the sinking of The Belgrano after being told it was retreating away from the battle scene, what words of her order don't we mention? (Or her face when the BBC reporter asked her about it the next day, and she thought we wouldn't get to know the order came from the top.)

Or how about her overall philosophy that opportunity is another way of saying "Devil take the hindmost."

Oh, hang on. She didn't have any the above philosophy. SHe as a product of others. The Keith Joseph and Nicholas Ridley lunatics of the time, who saw this gullible woman as an ideal front for their social experiment. You don't think the conservatives of the '70s really stomached the idea of being led by a woman do you?   She was a blame hound for if it went wrong and a target for the ire of those disaffected by it. Perhaps Dave "I used to know some poor people" Cameron hasn't worked out yet that you need a bogeyman to blame, not a decent chap, as he undoubtably is.



Oh, hang on.. riots.

No. Prefer Thatcher bashing.
