A friend of mine, who now lives near Sydney, regretted that she would not be in London to throw rotten veggies at the funeral cortege. Don't worry, I replied - she'll burn her way through to the antipodes in a few hours.

With great sadness I have to let you know that the Greatest Prime Minister this country has ever had has died. RIP Margaret Thatcher. She served this country well and I am deeply saddened.

Best peace time PM ever. Changed the UK for the better - if not for her the UK would be a bankrupt communist state, probably a forgotten part of the United States of Europe. She got it right and the only people who have the utter gall to slag her off are jealous, small-minded socialists, people who weren't even born when she was in power and scum like Galloway. :rose:

She put us in the safe hands of the bankers and city slickers, and the media tycoons with impeccable morals such as Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black.

No, Gordon Brown's 'light touch regulation' did that. You might like to read the cabinet papers from 1979, when Britain became the first ever European country to take a loan from the IMF - £3.9Bn. I particularly draw your attention to the late November and early December memoranda, where the cabinet is doing a perfect imitation of a coop of headless chickens, and admitted that the 1974 'economic' policy had totally failed. The papers, originally top secret, have been declassified. It was this that ruined British industry, and Thatcher had to put it right.

Weak. It's probably a fair assumption that industrialized countries are contributing more to the problem so expecting them to contribute more to the solution is only fair.

I graduated in 1980 with a science degree, but it took me until 1985 to find anything other than bar work. Whe I did get a job, I joined a government department and then spent years where my skills and commitment were denigrated by our lords and masters (and mistress), telling us how poor we were compared to the private sector. I was then sold of to this wonderful private sector, where I found that we were at least the equal, and in many cases better than them.

It's always been the same - what makes you any different from any of the youngsters I know during Blair/Brown who couldn't get work and whose skills and degrees became virtually worthless? Was that still Thatcher's fault? No one forced you into government and no one forced you to stay. Everyone has choices: it's up to the individual to follow through and take charge of their own life.

Assuming that 'Greenhouse Gas' emissions are the primary cause of the current climate change, it would be reasonable to assert that the industrialized countries were contributing more to the problem.
Mike Mullikin wrote:
so expecting them [the industrialised countries] to contribute more to the solution is only fair
A truly democratic decision to introduce practical changes to our societies that mitigate our future impact upon the climate (again, assuming that our emissions are the primary cause), that would be fair. Retrospective penalization of citizens for having the temerity to enjoy the benefits their society offers, that would not be fair. (No one could tell us in 1989 - and no one can tell us today - what the regional effects of climate change might be. Currently, many severe weather events are described as 'unprecedented', and attributed to 'Climate Change' or 'Global Warming', until found in historical, but not necessarily scientific, records. In countries with little recorded history, such 'unprecedented' events would be almost automatically confirmed as due to man-made climate change. Open-ended entitlement. They would very soon run out of other people's money.)
