Thread Name: BS: Margaret Thatcher's Birthday-13 Oct 1925
Subject: RE: BS: Margaret Thatcher's Birthday.
I think you are all mad.....You live, and as far as I can see, want to live in a Capitalist system, Thatcher was oneof the great Capitalist leaders, her "right to buy" was a masterstroke, she knew we were becoming uncompetetive globally in heavy industry and did what had to be done from a Capitalist viewpoint.

When the Blair "liberals" took over, we got an illegal war and a financial meltdown, the outcome of which will cause more suffering amongst the poor than Thatcher ever did.
The seeds of that meltdown were of course germinated in the Thatcher years, but New Labour embraced capitalism with all their strengh.

Question the system, rather than pile hate on an old woman who believed in what she was doing
To equate Thatcher and Scargill shows a marked lack of political understanding.
