Ex girlfriend of mine is from a very political family.........i couldn't give a ---- to be honest.

Anyway.

We watched a Mandela 'concert' one night and I commented he was a terrorist.................whoa............end of nice time lol
He planted and arranged bombings I said................that was different she said !!!!! wtf hahahahaha

A terrorist is a fkin terrorist full stop...................that includes, in my humble opinion, anyone or any government who explodes bombs against people...........Mandela/IRA/British government.............no difference whatsoever:)

You can't pick and choose who you think is a terrorist as they all have different ideals.
 
No, but i can be for the purpose of this thread lol.

Trev, guess what...i've always voted conservative...

Tin hats...:leaving:

last time i voted was for lord sutch, but since he died, i ain't bothered. if anything, i'd vote ukip. get out of europe.
 
Before she came to power I worked in a large engineering company as a Training Instructor charged with the selection, training and welfare of apprentice engineers - about 80 - 90 of them. The company had won the Queen's Award for Export Achievement, we had a full order book and overtime was worked 2 night and Saturday morning regularly.

We needed to expand and create more jobs so a new site was bought and work commenced on the construction of the new factory which was budgeted at £6Million. It was anticipated that 300 new jobs would be created on the opening of the new factory, with a further 300 at the end of the first year of opening.

Then Thatcher arrived and just before we were due to move to the new factory, redundancies were announced. Three years later we were all out of a job.

Today, that £6 Million custom- built engineering works is now a Cash & Carry warehouse.

You can guess my thoughts about Thatcher, and that's before I get started on the mines, shipyards, steelworks, and Shildon (google Shildon sometime) We have a dock here in Geordieland and it's called Tyne Dock. It was built to export coal from Geordieland to all parts of the world - including London. Today it imports coal from all over the world where it is sent by rail in wagons made in Romania and hauled by locomotives made in Canada to our power stations which are sitting on top of millions of tons of coal in Yorkshire, and all this while Shildon which was a major wagon manufacturing plant is a museum and the locomotive works at Darlington is an ASDA supermarket and Doncaster, Crewe and Loughborough are doing SFA.

What she could never get her head around was the fact that it was never "just" a mine, or "just" a steel works or just whatever .... it was ALSO about the infrastructure - all the other businesses and people who survived to serve the industries and the folk who worked in them whether it be the factories making the steel, the castings, the machinery to wagons to carry the products, the corner shops, the pubs & clubs and the breweries, bakers and candlestick makers - they all fell just like dominoes.

Her "policies" were all for a short-term fix and her replacements for the lost industries were / are finance & banking etc. and look where that led and that's before we even think about the privatisation of the energy, water and rail companies.

There's a joke doing the rounds just now that Thatcher's been dead for only a day and already Saint Nick has been to the Jobcentre to sign on and she's closed down 3 furnaces so far. It may be a joke, but I'm betting it isn't far from the truth!!

I have here a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale that I'd like to pour on her grave - just after I've filtered it through my kidneys. The woman was pure evil personified.

That sums up that woman very accurately

Unless you are old enough and lived in the areas where the impact of this womans vindictiveness was felt, you may never fully understand the deeds of that woman,I will speak of that woman no more in this post

Germany closed mines shipbuilding and large engineering etc around the time that the UK began its carnage
Germany and the UK had parity with the number of apprenticeships at that time

The poilicies were implemented in both countries Germany promoting and encouraging investment in the areas to be affected,the UK closed everything and did nothing,a whole generation andwhole communities were destroyed,not just affected, they were destroyed,the woman had no empathy with the victims of her hateful revenge and carnage

Germany today has 10 apprenticeships for every 1 apprenticeship available in the UK
Germany has heavy industry and the skills to man that industry,Germany has well paid employment,it has been recetion proof in comparision to the UK
Germany had one very distinct advantage,it never had a conservative and vindictive no care female running that country at the time

RIP Thatcher and lets hope her legacy will never ever be inflicted on any future generation by anybody with the same warped thinking

In Wales the overwhelming reaction will be sympathy for her relatives loss at this time,but as for the woman and her actions,she waged war on us here and decimated our country, we may never be forgiving to a self made "enemy" of our communities and our way of life
