Thatchers Dead

[Mars_ax]

I haven't seen a day where so many statements have been made that could equally have been made of Hitler or Stalin. Martin Luther King said that he would never celebrate or take joy in the death of an enemy. Frankly, I can't say that I am so forgiving, she was the figurehead for an administration that tried to bring the populus back down to the working class plebs who had no say nor interest in what the ruling class did. Her successes are all championed by those with bank balances running into seven, eight, nine and ten figures. The fact that she died at the Ritz hotel clearly shows that she had betrayed her relatively humble roots to grasp towards the upper class a long, long time ago.

I don't hope she rests in peace, I hope death gives her all of the punishment and penance that life never gave her. It is an unpleasant glee I take in her death, but I can't imagine anyone else dying that would trigger the same emotions.

I'd heard some bad things said about Thatcher here in the States, mainly said by liberals here who didn't like her close association with then President Reagan. I didn't have a clue that she was so loathed by her own countrymen. Now I don't feel so bad about despising Hillary "rodman" Clinton, who may run for U.S. president in 2016 and/or when Comrade Dingle-Barry finishes his 2nd term.

yeah I've got some US friends who just don't understand why she's so hated and talked about not being petty....hmmm no. They have no idea.

I don't believe most Americans (including me) know much about what goes on with British politics. To be honest, it's confusing, and I don't understand it. I suppose this will make you laugh, I liked Tony Blair and never understood why he seemed so hated. (not that I cared)
As for Maggie T, I always thought her husband was a dope, I can't say I disliked her, but I can understand some of the reasons why Brits wouldn't like her after reading this thread.

I think Blair and Obama share the trait that the people bought in to the idea that they were something different and that lost the trust of the people. Blair whilst appealing to 'New Labour' was someone who had plenty more in common with thatcher...and let's not get started on his biggest conjob with the war in Iraq.
It's harder to pass polarized law in the US than over here, just how your system is set up.
People were lied to. We know all politicians do it

British politics seem far more complicated then what we have here in the States, i'm sure however if you've lived in the UK most of your life, politics are old hat.
As for political and social issues here in the States, I know all about that. Thanks mostly to "liberals", this country has been on a fast track down the toilet the last 25+ years.

What policies and politicians do you think are responsible for this fast track down the toilet you speak of?
