Hey, what is this reasonable post doing here? Reported as abuse.
I think the correct description of what it's doing is 'looking for trouble'. Clearly I should upvote myself in glee at its success.

Better her than the Trots who lied and cheated, who opened our borders and who taxed us to death in order to create a benefit society filled with undereducated children with no hope of a future. Still, that is socialists for you, spend all of your money and have nothing to show for it.

They could go work in the mines. Oh wait, Maggie capped them all.

Didn't she lose a vote of confidence?
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower
If by lose you mean won the the first ballot by securing more votes than her challengers (of the 372 votes, she won 204 of them), then yes, she lost.

I started saving my urine the moment I heard the news. I'm hoping we can convert her grave into a man made lake... :laugh:

Yep. Reduced the Income Tax they paid, brought in more health and safety for workers, ensured we were not frozen out of Markets by EU Regulations, increased competition for essential services resulting in lower bills/better service, broke the back of the over powerful unions so that people were free to work without having their wages docked by the Trots, increased employment, enabled more people to be home owners than at any time in history and encouraged and self-reliance and entrepreneurial society. The Girl Done Good. Better than the Smug Socialist Gifford you are lumped with.

It's really a bit of a dirty trick putting a political statement like that in an RIP thread in the Lounge, where we can't really have a go at her or it. "Greatest" my arse and if you knew anything about the north or England, or Scotland or Wales – actually that's everywhere outside the comfortable south east where she centralised all the wealth, a problem we still haven't dealt with – you'd never say that.

In keeping with the great lady's legacy, Margaret Thatcher's state funeral should be funded and managed by the private sector to offer the best value and choice for end users and other stakeholders. The undersigned believe that the legacy of the former PM deserves nothing less and that offering this unique opportunity is an ideal way to cut government expense and further prove the merits of liberalised economics Baroness Thatcher spearheaded.

She is at least a significant figure in British politics, but I also think she was highly overrated. To9 put it another way, I like Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincon better ;)

You do know that the South pays for all the rest don't you? There has to be a capital city and London is it. If things were better in the North then they would have all the money. These places are hotbeds of the Trots and Unionism that destroyed this country in the 70's. Are you old enough to remember the Winter of Discontent? Crisis? What Crisis? as Jim Callaghan flew back in from his foreign holiday to be greeted with rubbish on the streets and bodies unburied. THAT is the legacy of socialism. How very caring the socialists were back then, condemning families to not being able to bury their dead. Instead of complaining about how unfair the North was treated, they should have been busier trying to improve it and making it work. It was the Labour Govt. of the 70's that destroyed more jobs than Thatcher did, and by the end she had created more than she destroyed. Facts, eh, don't you just find they get in the way of perceived political beliefs.
