    He could have kept interest rates low and that would have given him a second term too. All previous prezzes who struggled with inflation, LBJ, Nixon and For dofr instance, had the Fed chair cut rates before elections to make sure they got re-elected even though this fucked the economy long term,. Carter actually appointed a Fed chair he knew would crank up interest rates to whatever needed to end inflation once and for all, and he went into the election campaign with rates heading for 20%.

    No subsequent president ( or any of the guys preceeding him in the modern era) would have done either of those things. Either one would have cost Carter a second term, but the guy had the courage to do what was right for the country even though he knew he was committing political suicide.

    Cool story but lets not derail the stirring debate over Thatcher.

    Just read that Thatcher supporters have said they are happy that people have reacted negatively towards her because she saw it as evidence that she had won.

    This shows you the mindset of the people we are dealing with. They have no moral concern/understanding about the pain, stress and hurt they caused families and communities. Her attitude towards people less off or different to her was that they were beneath her and that philosophy and impact is still felt today.

    The more I think about it the more of a bitch she was.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The more i watch that show the less it makes me want to visit the place purely down to the self imposed numb fuck jobs worth's that work for customs over there.

    If she wants a private funeral then don't go parading her body through the streets costing us all fortune or let her family pay. My friends mum just died, basic funeral is costing her £5k, she doesn't have the money and is having to sell of all kinds of stuff to pay for it as well as asking for donations.

    I also hope whoever your friends mum pissed off in her lifetime don't turn up to fuck up your friends last memory of her mum

    Old bitch was a member of Ted Heaths Tory cabinet, when the Miners got the Torys , in the 70's
    what did she get her revenge. We were industrial giants, now the land of supermarkets , and
    wanker bankers.

    yes mate but what did she actually do? was it really her fault? can you prove it without using anecdotal evidence or first hand source material?

    What they actually done, was tell us the mining industry was none profit making and all but a hand full
    of our deep mines needed to be closed down. Lot were very profitable she had a deep hatred for
    miners, lots of lies and of course revenge and of course the rest is history.
    That woman privatized everything in sigh, are we better off for it are we bollocks, we have Billions of
    tons under our feet, and we import 55 million tons ever year.
    Just think of the jobs it would create, and of course start off our heavy industry again, I'm sure we
    could open one of them old pits, and drop the bitch down because deep down she's alright.
