What a lovely woman...

I'm loving how people who weren't even alive in the 90's let alone the 80's are jumping on the anti Thatcher band wagon.
I'm no apologist, but it strikes me that there have been more than enough opportunities for people to direct change and give us a different history to the one that people are are passionately distancing themselves from.

the falklands, a colonialist hangover.
- I'm from Gibraltar and my father lived in the Falklands. I think the peoples of those two 'colonies' would disagree with you.detritus
- you.detritus
- wel, i'm not 'from' gibraltar - but it's been my family home for nearly 30 years.detritus
- they may disagree with me but that's life. i have no bones with themlowimpakt
- so what does 'a colonialist hangover' actually mean then? or is it just a a random stab? it means nothing.detritus
- it means that the islands is a battleground between 2-3 colonial powers.lowimpakt
- No it doesn't, it implies it's some anachronistic injustice that undermeans some New Order.detritus

Not sure if it has been posted. But great piece by Russell Brand today in the Guardian. I know he can be an annoying ponce, but I cannot help but put him higher in my estimation with every piece of his I read.

@detritus - are you into Cameron and Osborne as much as Thatcher?
- Nope, I don't particularly like Thatcher either - I just dont demonise her.detritus
- I respect Thatcher, I guess.
More so than most, anyway.detritus - you obviously were not affected by her growing up.fadein11
- I'm from the north - i grew up there, under thatcher, seeing what went on there. We left.detritus

I wonder why Americans did not have the same type of feelings when Reagan died? Maybe because we forget so easily.

I lived in the midlands in 1987-88, and the feeling I got was that, yes, her policies were horrible to segments of the country, but what really was so bad was her "fuck off and die" sentiment, it seemed she took joy in the misery she caused,
to me, it was the "fuck you factor"
....there wasn't the least bit of remorse from her for the hardships she caused....
- What use is remorse though, I mean really? "I'm fucking you over, but hey - I feel quite bad about it"?detritus
- Especially where the 'fucking over' is backed by a cinviction you're doing The Right Thing - what use remorse then?detritus
- Ftranky I'm glad she wasn't a hypocrite. Better than can be said for those before and after her.detritus

my personal obsession with thatcher's death is more to do with the 30+ years of art it's inspired and it's commonality across non-mainstream political ideologies. TBF it's mostly gesturing - the first video in this thread 'the day that thatcher dies' by hefner explains it beautifully. a lad in a schoolyard trying to prove that he's socialist to win over a girl - by fantasising that he'll dance and sing all night when thatcher dies. to me that's a beautiful romantic sentiment.
- Exactly. Us weak, lazy, useless humans are at our most creative in times of hardship and need.Ianbolton

Fucking get over it! She was a tit, we all know that and she fucked up. But fuck me, kids partying in the street over an old womans death?! Threats of her funeral being targeted?! Are we going to sing and dance over every other world leader when they pass away? They've done worse things on a global scale.
Now she's dead "Yeah, lets dance on her grave because we didn't have a voice over the last 20 years when she was alive".
Haven't given a shit about her over the last 20 years and still don't.- you fuckin' get over it - you're the one ranting. I'm not gonna party fuckwit.fadein11
- Yeah best not talk 'the big stuff', that changed our society. Get back to reading Chick of the Day!qTime
- @qtime- lolfadein11
- I wasn't talking directly at you fadein you paranoid fuckwit. As for the big stuff, I grew up with her as PM so spare me your bollox which I'm sure you'll spout.goldieboy
