So yeah, fuck Margaret Thatcher!!!
Whatever else may be true of her, Thatcher engaged in incredibly consequential acts that affected millions of people around the world. She played a key role not only in bringing about the first Gulf War but also using her influence to publicly advocate for the 2003 attack on Iraq. She denounced Nelson Mandela and his ANC as "terrorists", something even David Cameron ultimately admitted was wrong. She was a steadfast friend to brutal tyrants such as Augusto Pinochet, Saddam Hussein and Indonesian dictator General Suharto ("One of our very best and most valuable friends"). And as my Guardian colleague Seumas Milne detailed last year, "across Britain Thatcher is still hated for the damage she inflicted ? and for her political legacy of rampant inequality and greed, privatisation and social breakdown."
To demand that all of that be ignored in the face of one-sided requiems to her nobility and greatness is a bit bullying and tyrannical, not to mention warped. As David Wearing put it this morning in satirizing these speak-no-ill-of-the-deceased moralists: "People praising Thatcher's legacy should show some respect for her victims. Tasteless." - Harsha Walia

Yes. So great that she had a hand (was indirectly) responsible for thousands of deaths, among other things.
Of course she will be missed, by those in positions of power and the mis- and ill-informed.
Peace!

Even more appropriate.
If nothing else, she was definitely polarizing. And these actions speak much louder than words.

first off,you`re an ass...your parents obviously missed the opportunity to inform you that it`s bad form to say this kind of garbage of the recently deceased...
secondly,why the hell isn`t this in political?...has this place been so dumbed down that people can`t find the shithole that is the political forum?...
please go over there and spew your leftwing, socialist tripe...

You do, since you always show up in threads like this to discuss how much better you are then the rest of us.
Thanks again. :0074
Don't worry about my parents. In fact, you'd probably get along. They're as old and "proper" and clueless and as sanctimonious as you appear to be.
And speaking out against those who perpetrate atrocities has absolutely nothing to do with being "leftwing." Lest state sychophants continue to worship deceased tyrants.

Peace!
Not a nice way to speak about your folks especially considering they continue to let you live in their basement instead of getting a job/residence.
