Anybody celebrating Thatcher's death. Remember one thing.

Bitter failure signing in.

yup me too

I celebrated in 1990 when she got hoofed out by her own party - I dont celebrate the death of an old lady.

Wurzel...she werent no lady.

trouble is every time you turn on the tv now you will see the hag that is Edwina Currie

Total bolllocks of an opening post, on 2 forums.

yup OP is garbage, lots of successful people opposed to the ideology of Thatcher and her cronies, people far more successful than the OP included

Her greatest achievement was selling the public what they already owned and every Govt since keeps trying to do the same thing. . .

the irony is that she destroyed hundreds of solid communities with traditions and moral compass to destroy the unions and allow fat cats to take control, and now those broken communities have morphed into the feckless underclass so hated by Tories today

well done indeed! way to take hard working people making stuff and turn them into people you hate even more than trade unionism

how about acting like a gentleman then. You don't agree with her policies, you have every right not to but to wish her dead doesn't reflect well on you or anyone else wishing the same.

I personally dont wish her dead because she is dead i wished her a painful death. .

^^^ you seriously have to worry about people who write this stuff and I wasn't her biggest supporter. The internet has shown how many truly sad individuals there are out there.

They're not sad today, Howdi.

Howdi you dont have to worry about me just you and yours like i do, its what she taught me during my formative years. . .

Her administration got rid of the cane in schools back in the 1980's

wheres my milk gone?

Liverpools plans

Even by his own low standards the opening post is absolute bollox. Overcome with grief perhaps?

In fairness she did give council tenants the right to buy their house and they are still paying the mortgage yet. The majority are struggling to pay it because they are working for minimum wage. They would strike for a better wage but can`t because they won`t be able to pay mortgage if they do and the bank (who actually own the home) will put them out on the street. If this happens the council can`t rehome them because there are not so many council houses now. Council were thinking of building some more houses but can`t find any UK bricklayers.

the classic Tory part of the 'Right to Buy' was that not only could people buy houses at huge discounts, the Councils and Housing Associations were expressly forbidden from using the proceeds of the sales to invest in new housing stock

insane ideological BS as usual from the Tories. Call Me Dave and Gideon are proposing to bring this policy back whilst at the same time inflating the housing market by giving 20% deposits to people who have 5% saved.. in a housing shortage crisis

you couldn't make it up

Add to this that these were otherwise unsellable properties, so could only really go to those living in them, then later be sold to potential landlords (or personal buddies).

David Cameron has just sent his official letter to the Thatcher residence.

It starts "I regret to inform you that due to recent events you now have too many bedrooms..."

The objective behind letting tenants buy their council houses was to get workers into serious debt so they couldn`t strike. FACT

i don't think there was an oppportunity to do well if you were talented back then ,unless it was in a few small areas .


today there are much better opportunities if you are intelligent enough

governments will never see talent

The failure to invest in new council houses was a big mistake but huge numbers of people benefitted from the cheap sell off.

Most if not all have paid their (very small) mortgages off by now and are enjoying a rent free retirement whilst sitting in houses worth 10x what they paid.

The deregulation of lending/borrowing showed too much faith in the financial sector and the public. It was a mistake but her supporters will argue the 100s of billions of taxation that came from that boom paid for the public sector we have now.

thought the OP was going to say "the party hats".

_______________________________________
most of those tenants or family before had probably bought that house 10x over ...and why do we need more council houses ?,surely better help folk buy their own home - the problem is high prices ,not lack of

besides Council estates are far nicer places these days ,manicured front lawns etc ,unbroken glass in the windows etc

Top post mighty mac...

absolutely obsessed this dude ...ffs Dave given back his benefits and let him chill out.

not really obsessed, just not going to be lectured about taste by people with a moral superiority complex and by the looks of things multiple personality disorder.

you are following me like a lost sheep. You are making yourself look daft as a brush today, going on the internet with my 'listen to my opinion' hat on...pathetic.

am I? really? I thought I'd mostly been communicating with  howdi, who as we know is no longer here.

Personally I would like to say how sad I am at the passing of Maggie Thatcher today.

Now we will have to endure weeks of all the weasels coming out of the woodwork to lavish her with praise.

Now there will be an inevitable lift in Tory support, as the media rally round the flag giving valuable airtime to Tory after Tory (or New Lab) who will drone on about all the ´wonderful´things she did for the country, while conveniently overlooking the destruction she caused.

Now there will likely be a state funeral, unseen since another Tory baztard, Churchill snuffed it.

Now, the media will conveniently choose to ignore the devastating effects of the government´s cuts.

Personally, there is nothing to celebrate in the death of an 87-year-old, piss ridden, Alzheimer suffering geriatric irrelevance. Now if she had snuffed it 30 years ago... now that would have been a party!
