She had balls, I'll give her that.

Oh and by the way, It's Falklands not Malvinas, and the Archipelago belongs to the British.

FREE MARKET CAPITALISM IS THE BEST PATH TO PROSPERITY

American flags should have been flown at half mast at the White House today.

We've lost a big one, but we haven't lost the fight.

I thought she was already dead, she has been so removed from public life. Anyway RIP to an important person in Polish history as well

yeah, if you think prosperity is defined by a society clamoring for the almighty dollar completely void of any kind of social ethics......

THATCHER'S WAR ON ACID HOUSE

quote:
First she came for the milk. Then she came for the mines. Then she ran out of things to come for, so she went after the football fans arranging recreational punch ups and acid house.

It might sound unlikely in an age where there are a pair of decks and TV screens showing Sky Sports in every pub, but if you wanted to go toe to toe with the establishment at the tail-end of the Thatcher years, the fast track to getting filled in by the police was to watch football or listen to a series of repetitive records with the intention of dancing.

If you were looking for a measure of how the country has adjusted since Thatcher's reign, you could do worse than consider how two constants of the modern mainstream – football and electronic music – were once painted as folk devils by a regime fast running out of new things to point its police horses at.

Granted, football fans had been under few illusions about where they stood in the perceived scheme of things since the 70s, and anyone with industrial or union connections would have been aware of Tory policy well before Thatcher came to power in '79. But for anyone younger, and especially anyone younger and southern, the harshness of the establishment’s war on the twin evils of football and dance music came as something of a surprise.
