Margaret Thatcher is dead - Alexei Sayle & Louise Mench give their views (Channel 4 News, 8.4.13)

[@KussePikken666]

Thatcher made life worse for many many people, and better for very very few. Nobody remembers her as a good spirit.

[@NewsRedial]

lol You and your lefty pals ran the country into the ground. Then when Thatcher was fixing it, you act like add the damage you did was her fault. Everyone with half a brain reveres Mrs Thatcher and no one remembers your marxist cronies who she stomped.

Yes, I remember the three day week under Margaret Thatcher, the corpses piling up in mortuaries, the constant strikes, and the complete shambles. Hang on, no wait, that wasn't her was it? So many statues to Michael Foot, and Dennis Healey, those savours of the British Isles. But I'll give you that, public sector parasites and state leaches didn't get such a good ride as they do now, as they suck the work sweat of the working man. Still next Labour government, sure will fix that, don't you know.

Louise has a right to her views. Nobody compares Pope Francis to the Yorkshire Ripper. I was a child in Yorkshire during the time of the Ripper, believe me he caused far more fear than Louise Mensch has done. Louise is clever, beautiful and witty, she is a credit to the 90s generation.

The sad truth is that many deluded (and increasingly greedy) people DID vote for Thatcher. My father, to his eternal regret, voted for her in '79 despite voting against the Tories in every other election before and since. Thatcher was a single-minded menace, but she rode on a wave of like-minded greedy aspiration of people who weren't happy with what they already had. People are, unfortunately, like that and not much has changed.

I never quite understood how being 'strong' (narcissitic/sociopathic) and intransigent (stubborn to the point of psychopathy!) could be seen as virtues or somehow to be aspired to. Thatcher did have a t the very least a borderline personality disorder and was in fact a terrible politician. She almost single-handedly decimated British manufacturing, she sold off all council houses leaving very little social housing for future generations, she privatised things like energy, trains and telecommunications (hence all the problems we have today!) and she sold off energy companies to foreign conglomerates and thoroughly wasted north sea gas. She was truly appalling but made everybody believe she was a goddess. She was truly awful

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

The former Conservative prime minister was responsible for "every real problem" faced in the UK today, as she had led millions of people out of work. Of course she was popular, she was offering people their homes at a cut price. But she didn't build any houses. She created today's housing crisis, she produced the banking crisis, she created the benefits crisis. It was her government that started putting people on incapacity benefits rather than register them as unemployed because the Britain she inherited was broadly at full employment. She decided when she wrote off our manufacturing industry that she could live with two or three million unemployed and the legacy of that, the benefits bill that we are still struggling with today. In actual fact, every real problem we face today is the legacy of the fact she was fundamentally wrong. She will be remembered by many for the destructive and divisive policies she reigned over which in the end, even in the Tory party, proved to be her downfall. Her legacy involves the destruction of communities, the elevation of personal greed over social values and legitimising the exploitation of the weak by the strong. Margaret Thatcher laid the basis for policies which wrecked the lives of millions in Britain. But she should also be remembered as a warmonger. She led alongside Ronald Reagan the escalation of the Cold War. She introduced cruise missiles to Britain and fought the Falklands war. Her arms deals with Saudi Arabia were notorious. She famously said "theres no such thing as society. Well there certainly wasnt after she had finished. About to lose an election she manipulated a war with Argentina by ordering her defence fleet to withdraw from The Falklands knowing it would encourage the Argies to attack. THATCHER- THE MOST HATED WOMAN IN BRITISH HISTORY !!!

3:11 Just because someone retires undefeated in a general election does not mean their policies were sound in the grander scheme of things; nor does it necessarily indicate that the election results were not manufactured to suit a murder group high end takeover of the political system said to be votive in question. That Margaret Thatcher was not independant, on the murder group level, that she was (appalled to discover herself) subordinate to the Americans, galled her immensely. She was no paragon of political virtue: she was a prick at a time when Right Wing people began to throw Enlightenment values out the window in favour of reciling toward l'ancien regieme. That the Left Wing (or people of human principle, if you prefer) took so much time to respond, and in many ways have yet to recover from an apathy of acute awareness somnambulized of an affluence more befitting a newly freed Medieval serf than a modern Democratic citizen body, is equally appalling, if not quite so galling, given that there is, in the end, no such reciling possible as the Margaret Thatcher's and Helmut Kohl's of the world might lead one to believe.
