I celebrated her death Joe. I'm 60 and have woked all my life, the last 30 in healthcare where, I hope (know), I've contributed to helping people recover from various problems.
Good riddance to her. I've seen first hand the effect her brand of politics had and continues to have on lots of people, and her total disregard for the welfare of thes people. |

no street parties here when Saddam died, or Gaddafi.
Won't be any for Mairead Philpott, or Mick, or Huntley, or Brady, or Sutcliffe, or Rose West. Admittedly mainly no-nothing kids who want to sing 'ding dong, the witch is dead' but still a despicable act beyond the realms o human decency. People need to get over it and take responsibility for making something of their own lives instead of wallowing in self pity and blaming all their woes on somebody who has not been a force in British politics for a generation. |

Please do describe some of the effects these policies have had.....in detail please? I'm 60 and have woked all my life, the last 30 in healthcare where, I hope (know), I've contributed to helping people recover from various problems. I said vast majority. |

100% spot on. God forbid they look at themselves in the mirror and try to better themselves. |

i did find this amusing line
'I've heard that she was only in hell for 20 minutes and already closed 3 furnaces'.  |

whether you love her or hate her, she was the last of the true conviction politicians - since her, we've had populist Tony 'I'd sell my grandmother for your vote' Blair.
You knew what she stood for, just as you did with Kinnock - now we've got that insidious creep Ed Balls who will be totally against the Govt's reforms to welfare system until he gets an opportunity to reverse the coalition's policies at which point he will bottle it and tell us there still is n't any money. |

C4 News - usual bullshit from some community affected by redundant miners/steelworkers. The bitterness is simply staggering. 'Communities have never recovered'. Japan and Germany recovered quicker than some of these towns I wonder why...
One bloke didn't work for 7 years after the mines closed and MT gets the blame! I was made redundant at the age of 21 and got a job inside 3 weeks. I got on my ****** bike and made things happen. I'm no Thatcherite but geez the self pity from some people beggars belief. |

I see both Blair and Miliband are condemming street parties celebrating her death
as 'pretty poor taste' It is a pity they do not condem the government for holding a full ceremonial funeral for her her death has been turned into a political celebration of her policies She should have had the normal quiet funeral appropriate to any prime minister so those who mourne her can pay their respects |

Thatcher ruined so many lives....the way she treated the miners, steelworkers, dockers....appalling. It was a matter of sack the lot of them and tell them to get on their bikes to get non-existent jobs. Appalling. She killed communities and caused endless suffering.
She also helped her son become an international arms dealer. |

Bunch of self pitying scroungers who she decided would no longer soak the state for money it could not afford. She goes down as one of the UKs greatest citizens. |

Naming yourself after a corrupt (albeit fictional) politician and then supporting Thatcher so strongly. Says a lot.

09 Apr 13 13:59 When trains were powered by coal and steam and everyone had a coal fireplace I guess there was a big market for coal. Not much sense in selling it overseas for 30% of the cost of digging it out. Times change, businesses reach the end of their natural life and the mines had to close. In 2012 the UK imported 44.8 million tonnes of coal accounting for around 40 % of our electricity production . The coal mining industry continues to increase in value world-wide and the value of coal has massively increased. Uk coal is of the very highest quality and should production have continued the Green Agenda would have ensured it was by far the most profitable in Europe . Thanks to Thatcher's lunatic short termism we're now living hand to mouth on dirtier imported coal that is subject to ever increasing tariff and shipping costs when we are sitting on over 3 billion tonnes of high grade coal that needs less processing .  |

I'm no expert but wasn't the mining industry losing a great deal of money when the decision was taken to close the pits and concentrate on gas production instead?

The vast majority "Celebrating" her death are 5cumbags who contribute f**k all to society. She took over a cesspit of a country which left its dead and rubbish to rot on the streets. The UK was not a perfect place in the 80s but it was progressive. Unions who had f**k all interest in the country were defeated. The UK is alot better place today because of her. She rewarded people who wanted to work and contribute towards society. ...................................................................................................................................... I left school at fifteen and I've never been unemployed. In all that time I've only ever claimed sickness benefit (or equivalent) for a couple of months. I always wanted to work, and did, and contributed to the society which Thatcher said did not exist. She did not reward me, or indeed many millions of people. I do remember her rewarding her son though, with £12,000,000, for signing an arms deal with the malodorous regime in Saudi Arabia. Which regime was the more corrupt is a different question. If the UK is a better place today because of her, why are there so many people happy that she's dead? If she was any kind of good at all, why is she still causing such obvious division? |

Alias people will always help their own or would you not help your own son/daughter get on?
people could not get jobs because they would not join a union and plenty of people could not get jobs because no family member was already employed in said company or son of director/union chief |

Not if it meant kow-towing to evil. - That's the diference between her and normal human beings. people could not get jobs because they would not join a union and plenty of people could not get jobs because no family member was already employed in said company or son of director/union chief..? Capitalism has always tried to refuse work to union members. It's not in their interest - get it? |

About 1/3 of the pits ran at a loss in absolute terms but this fails to take into account the extended cost , the loss of supporting industries , social benefits , etc . It net terms it would have been cheaper to the treasury to keep them open . Particularly galling given that it was fairly obvious that the continued rise in oil prices meant that coal would continue to increase in value . Instead the Tories chose ideological war and short term gain turning to a reliance on millions of tonnes of cheap South American coal produced on the back of slave labour to burn for power . Incentives were given to build gas fired power stations despite the fact that British gas reserves were only a quarter that of coal. As this century progresses im sure we'll come to realise what an economic disaster this has been . |

If we ever need to take coal from under the ground again all the skills to do so have been all but lost. Never mind though , I hear those Poles are quite good at mining. |
