Margaret Thatcher dies

[eighthobstruction]

I think the benefits culture started when New Labour made it a plausible life style choice.

....and how was that done??, what new schemes, policies and structures did NLab put into action that were any different to the previous 17 years of Tory Govt....what's your analysis...???....

You seem to have a problem with English
I don't think it showed "Guts" at all
I don't think "Guts" is a characteristic a "nation" can show
and
I don't think that it's the right question
as I don't go along with the narrative as presented

(is the problem with Apples is that they don't taste loud enough ? )

You can't escape GG, your mind is churning over, unable to respond coherently to my fairly simple statement.

So, my conclusion, again, is that GG does not deny that Mrs Thatcher and the nation showed guts to deal with the Argentinian aggressors so many thousands of miles away.

My conclusion is the clowns on this thread might be younger than me, I'm able to recall pre-Thatcher years, I was at university during the power cuts of 1972 and the three-day-week of 1974 and was a young graduate worker during the winter of discontent prolonged by feeble trade union management.

I think there are clowns on both sides of the argument.....and that by the sound of it most of us are about the same age....I left school 1969....

YOu appear to be recommending your own posting ?

Repeat it enough and folk will believe you ?

She really set the tone of being Off Task completely ....... is this really where the "with us or against us" nonsense started ?
Answers like that would FAIL a GCSE for answering the wrong question .........

wrong question

and my question (which is equally "logical") would be

Do you think that all cheeses are loud enough ?

Can't you READ man ?

I don't think that a "nation" can have "guts" in the way you describe ..........

(and 6926.0 miles is not really "so many thousands of miles" is it ? It's just less than 7 )

that Thatcher clip....so good we had to see it twice....here one of the erudite comments underneath the clip, posted today....I'm sure folk on both sides of the argument will enjoy it's....it's....it's panache....

>>>>I dunno what she did to be so unpopular.But she was the first woman prime minister in this country.I don't remember what she did really but she was a very strong leader.And she boosted this country's popularity in the world esbescially America and even russia.She was always on the telly and one of the defining people in my early life.I feel like i'v lost a relative.R.I.P Margaret Thatcher.<<<<

And the Cabinet liked her so much they kicked her out a couple of months later....Hmmmmm????!!!!

Welcome aboard MrGG!!

You're not alone, I've had a few PMs from people who are real lefties (they asked me not to name them until tomorrow) telling me they've seen the light

"Democracy" what a quaint idea

[amateur51]

Mr GG often writes incomprehensible gibberish. Don't worry if you're having difficulty understanding. You're not missing anthing worthwhile.
