You fucked her, didn't you?

Well, she fucked all of us first!

I'm not missing the point of what I just replied to.

I get that there's catharsis involved. I just don't think it's particularly edifying.

Sincere apologies, but I rather think you were. It's an additional reason as to why some people may feel pleasure at her passing, rather than going "Meh, it was all a long time ago, wo’eva" – for the very reason Plissken posts and you responded to, the effects of her policies are still being felt and so it's not surprising that people will still harbour negative feeling towards her, rather than letting it go and moving on.

The point I was replying to was that her effects are still being felt because the current government are still harking back to Thatcherism as being an ideal worth pursuing. And I was stating that won't change if she dies. Indeed, as Grim... pointed out, her dying is likely to make it worse.

Plissken clearly wasn't suggesting that it would, so your response is apropos nothing.

Makes your 8-odd replies to it since a little redundant then, doesn't it?

Oh fuck Forums, I wrote the below in response to a post I can't even find now. Hate that. Anyway...

Exactly. Plus, there's little point in debating the crone, and this isn't the thread for it in any case. She'll be dead soon, loads of people will have a really good night out as a result, a handful of people will complain about it, probably on Twitter, and then everything will go normal.

Possibly. Possibly some people will stop thinking of the horrendous conditions they've spent their lives living in as being the fault of a living person and focus more upon what they will do to get themselves out of their situation. That's her great irony really, looking at the entirety of the 'no society' interview - she's worsened the problem by a huge degree, over what is coming up on four generations now. She did the usual Tory thing of bulldozing their way to an ideal without accepting the plain and horrible truth that some elements simply will not cope or move towards independence without state intervention and if you try to encourage them by simply removing support, they just become substantially greater and more costly problems to be addressed, which is usually by an incoming Labour government throwing pretend money at everything that looks appropriate. Then the Tories come along again and hack the bloated but functioning systems to shreds and we rinse, repeat.

She was supposed to be cleverer than that. She certainly believed she was. Facile politics, brashly practiced.

You should get her moulded for your Fleshlight while you can, Craster.

Indeed. She'll become some kind of martyr figure. *shudder*

Thought about it. Went for Mark Thatcher's gob instead.

In 2007, Carol Thatcher travelled to the Falkland Islands and Argentina for the documentary Mummy's War, in order to explore the legacy of the Falklands War. Whilst receiving a highly positive reception from the pro-British islanders (who regard her mother as a heroine), her reception in Argentina provoked protests and demonstrations (including the cry "your mother is a war criminal!"). During her stay in Argentina she met a group of mothers who lost their sons during the conflict and stated, "We were fighting a war; we won, you lost" and reminding them that it was their country that invaded the islands, thus initiating the conflict.

Clearly inherited the family talent for diplomacy, there.

For clarity, I'm not calling Thatcher a war criminal.

We do seem to have a number of Dead Threads on the go.

We don't, people are just searching for them and then bumping without actually reading them. This one specifically us just myp being a twat.
