Margaret Thatcher is no different from Tony Blair or Alistair Campbell (I always put them together, as for me, they were like siamese twins) All three are to be despised. I have no leaning to right or left in my politicians, I only care for the politics of humanity, and none of those people cared about their fellow human beings.

Alistair Campbell has now written his memoirs, Tony Blair his, and no doubt Gordon Brown will too. Where are the dissenting voices about that? Gordon Brown is responsible for more pensioners having no pensions, or vastly reduced ones, but that is never brought up by those on the extreme left. Why not? Why weren't you up in arms at Cherie Blair? A woman who spends vast amounts on her image, who makes vasts profits from being Tony's wife, and who thinks that being 'just a mother' is a terrible thing. She is one of the most patronising, two-faced, using people I've ever seen in a prime minister's spouse.

Don't any of you look at what has happened over the last decade and a half? Do you think this country is any better?   Margaret Thatcher left a long time ago, and thank goodness she did, but how long does the hatred carry on for? It is that hatred, that 'division' which has ripped this country apart. It is that hatred that stops the wound from healing over too.

There are many people who don't give a damn about their fellow humans, other than those close to them, Margaret Thatcher was just one, although even her children struggled to love her it would seem. Blair and Campbell are right beside her in my view.

On the day that a young soldier was brought home from Iraq, in his coffin, to his small Devon village, Tony Blair was to be seen on 'Red Nose Day' doing a 'comedy sketch' with Catherine Tate, because that was 'Our Tony' part of 'Cool Britannia'...the prime minister who thought he was 'a celebrity' Can you imagine what the family of that soldier must have felt? I felt absolute outrage that any man could be so insensitive.

There are many politicians that we are far better off without, she is just one of them, Blair is another. There are many others who deserve the voice of the far left aimed at them, just as much. Sadly many of those are in their own politicial party. I'd suggest they now use their voice to bring them out into the open, although they'll find their freedom of speech to be somewhat gagged by their own party.

I was on the march in the West Country against the Poll Tax, but you try and orgainse a march like that nowadays, in every city centre, as happened at that time...and see how far you get! Life has become even worse under her successors and they should be hanging their heads in absolute shame for what they have done, with their greed, their insensitivity, the craze for power and control. It was all going to be so very different wasn't it? Is Pinochet any worse than Bush? Bush just controls his population and kills some of them in a different, more subtle way. Blair was his yes-man though, his 'buddy'.

Thatcher/Pinochet - Blair/Bush ?

Tell me though, WHERE are the Unions now? WHY were they not given back their powers the moment New Labour came in? There are no voices now raised in anger, there are no strikes for a population that is paid a pittance, yet who live in an increasingly expensive country, way beyond their financial means! Yet, no-one is on the streets protesting. No major strikes are being organised. There are no strong 'Union Men' around. They'd all be arrested these days anyway. You can't even get within one mile of The Houses of Parliament, protest-wise, without being arrested now.

Maybe this thread should be called The Last Days of Apathy, because then, it could mean that rather than waste time vomiting up words of bile about Margaret Thatcher, the far left has finally seen the light and realised that the way forward lies with openess, honesty, integrity and compassion, with them taking the lead, turning their hatred for Thatcher into something useful, which starts within their own party, as well as all the others, for never have we lived in more controlling and dangerous times as we now do.
