Re: The curious ghoulishness of Thatcher-death celebrations
Anyway, to return to the assertion by the OP that it's 'ghoulish' for people to celebrate the death of Thatcher


why ghoulish ?

You think people aren't going to be delighted when Kissinger croaks

ditto the Bushes

et al

??


Thatcher's dead. Lived a long time. Some would say 'too long'


That's not the worry though for the other Thatchers and worse out there

Their worry -- and it's justified -- is that the mob is going to flay them alive and THEN celebrate before going out to flay more of them

It's going to happen
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33124088


Oh I have no doubt that the left will celebrate the deaths of all of the above, but isn't it interesting and isn't it indicative of the difference between the left and the right?

When Ted Kennedy died, there no celebrations as a matter of fact I signed a condolence book. I recognized that his philosophies were as diametrically opposed to my own but in his mind he was doing what he thought best to represent this country, wrong as I thought it was...

We on the right are far more mature and responsible than those on the left. I do believe most leftists are stunted emotionally.

We were celebrating the death of a tyrant just like they did after saddam hussein went, like they did when gaddafi went, even like the fucking ewoks on endor when emporer palpatine went.

Re: The curious ghoulishness of Thatcher-death celebrations
"OMG, how ridiculous you are. Are you incapable of understanding that people are responsible for their own actions?

You say she was responsible for the murder of that little boy? How do you say that with a straight face?"

Learn about human psychology and social engineering. Why are so many people in 3rd world countries so savage and barbaric? Poverty and despair creates an animalistic predatory mindset.

"And who is responsible for the crime ridden cesspools that is Britain today, she hasn't had any influence on policy for TWO decades? So who is to blame now?"

Thatcher may be dead, but Thatcherism is not. The same policies are still in place. We are forced to compete with masses of economy workers from eastern europe for jobs. Greedy employers prefer to employ them because they work for less.

"Feral and dysfunctional people are those who are dependent on government and she attempted to lessen that dependence."

And what happens when they target areas for economic decline? High unemployment and government dependency.

Not a very smart idea.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5872656


LOL, have you ever thought of working for our Dem party?

I would guess that your economic decline can be match to massive immigration coming to your country for massive government benefits. Was that Thatcher too?

What you suffered from and what you suffer from no is the Left's vengeance of massive immigration. And you will have it forever until Britain is no longer your country, that will teach you to defy the left...
 Quoting: davvi


It was in fact Thatcher's Tory predecessor Ted Heath who took the UK into the EU. So, yes, EU migrants can freely claim benefits, as well as take jobs.

The irony... Thatcher 'saved' us from communism, yet all the people from 'former' commie eastern blocs are now here pillaging our lands.

That's a no shitter. But she didn't HAVE to sell out, and if all of our leaders had the courage not to sell out and do the right thing like JFK tried to do and cut them off at the roots, we wouldn't have this jew conspiracy.

All a fucking President or Prime minister has to do is activate the EBS over ride on the satellites and tell the goddamned truth on the tee vee. The people would take care of the problem knowing they have support in high places and weren't going to be mowed down.

Let's face it, we all know what the problem is. Ignoring it or denying it at this point is suicidal

Thank you...it is sad for the family, regardless of what she did who she was her family will still miss her.

I have never understood this...when Bin Laden was killed I didn't celebrate. He needed killing, and he got it, just fact, no celebration...same with Saddam and his sons.

I guess I save my emotions for those who I care about and let fate take care of my enemies.

I still think the "celebrations" are ghoulish, but then I find pretty much everything on the left rather ghoulish...

Re: The curious ghoulishness of Thatcher-death celebrations
"What exactly were they celebrating? Thatcher hadn’t been in power in over 22 years. An entire generation has gone by since Thatcher left office, and the Tories have held power only briefly since. If these people are so miserable and put her in the center of that misery, perhaps they should ask why their lot in life hasn’t improved since she left office.

Normally, this kind of celebration takes place when brutal dictators die while still clinging to power, not when elected leaders pass away 22 years after they honored the will of the electorate. That’s a key point, too — Thatcher didn’t seize power and rig elections to keep it, like the mullahs of Iran or (arguably) Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The voters of the UK made her Prime Minister, and kept her in place as she rolled out the policies that returned the British to economic, military, and diplomatic strength. If these ghouls want to protest, they should probably protest their own people instead of a long-retired popular leader whose place in history won’t be threatened at all by people who struggle to spell correctly (see pic at the article):

Why has their lot NOT improved since she left office? Good question. Blaming someone else for your own failure is so much easier.

Did you get it for "free" and then one day it wasn't there any more? That is what happens to free stuff eventually you run out of other people's money and all the beloved free things go away.

LOLOL, On another subject our leftist media is trying to claim Mrs. Thatcher as one of their own and are calling her a "good" socialist.

There is NO such thing as a "good" socialist for no matter how you dress up a pig it is still a pig...

Oh and by the way moron, dictators and tyrants force their way into power, she never did. The GOOD people of your country which there are fewer and fewer every year, put her into office....she did a hell of a job keeping you from slipping into communism.
 Quoting: davvi


Well they may have put her into power but they soon regretted it...

Below is from a 1989 news report:

"British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's popularity sank to the lowest level of her 10 years in power in two new polls. Only 24% of voters sampled in a National Opinion Poll said they were satisfied with her performance."



seen on facebook,made me chuckle

"Authorities, in seeking the proper acknowledgement of Lady Thatcher's death have decided to take milk from poor children and call Nelson Mandela a terrorist". Stiff upper lip children.




and here's an example of the character of the type of person that supported Thatcher...

Best moment of the day was Piers Morgan telling someone on twitter to show respect for the dead - to which the response was 'You hacked a dead schoolgirl's phone!'...



and this popped up on FB as well,seems to sum it up for me...

I have only said this about one other person but I'm glad she is dead. She was a hateful woman who sent many to their deaths, who made the lives of many very, very miserable and whose vision of how to treat others was completely at odds with common decency. And yes I am aware of the tradition that one should say nothing bad of the dead - this is my polite opinion of the woman who started her political career stealing milk from children and went downhill from there.


All in all,a very divisive person who changed the UK utterly.

Re: The curious ghoulishness of Thatcher-death celebrations
nice too see you picking fault at everyone who offers an opinion maybe if you were british you might understand

margaret thatcher was the beggining of a long running decline for the UK

she made life as hard as hell for the poor while looking after herself and her freinds at the top

quite simply the poor became poorer and the rich didnt give a shit

she was the cause of tens of thousands of protests all of the country during most of her time in office she was very hated even while in power

she was the cause

too simply say well you voted for her etc etc....is absurd everybody knows the people who get into power are not kind caring intelligent people with good morals you have ltd choice so they can control it more .......the people in office are the people who go along with the financiers of this world and allow them to play there game with peoples lives whilst lying about everything of importance as YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW SLAVE......


It might be instructive if you were to read some history,


in particular the deliberate destruction of British manufacturing industry, the wilful devastation of mining communities, the cancelling of London elections and sale of County Hall, the cover-up of a series of state murders, the obscene suggestion that 'unemployment was a price worth paying,' the institutional hate crime of Clause 26, the gross incompetence that led to Black Wednesday, the even grosser incompetence that led to the Falklands War (for which John Nott was foolish enough to carry the can, when it was a Cabinet decision and thus on Thatcher's watch)...oh, and the Poll Tax.
She basically spit on the working class of the UK.

She made Councils sell off all the council houses so that working class families can't get decent housing these days and are forced to rent from Slumlords at high prices.

She sold off the Utility Companies to Private owners so that now pensioners freeze to death in winter because they can't afford the expensive fuel prices charged by these profit-hungry monstrosity companies. (Hopefully this current Government will stop this practice).

She stopped free school milk. for young children

Poll Tax/Council Tax (making everyone pay a huge chunk of their income to the Local Authority in Tax with no regard as to their ability to pay this)

Decimated our Heavy Industries costing millions of jobs - at the height of her power there were 3 million unemployed!!

Destroyed the Trade Unions, robbing the working man of the right to stand up for himself

Turned this country from a place where people lived in strong communities with a sense of culture and heritage into a capitalist hellhole where everyone is laden with debt, morals and tradition has gone to the dogs and noone gives a sh*t about each other and only cares about credit cards and consumer crap.

Maggie is the reason this country is in such a mess today. Evil horrible woman, she's hated by everyone except the businessmen who made money under her.
