Margaret Thatcher

[JOHNNYAITCH]

It's relevant though if people are going to lay incorrect blame for some things on Thatcher it's right to point out where blame should perhaps really lie.

[davidatpreston]

But in this context old bat means old battleaxe or is short for batty...another derogatory/sexist term;)

 

The use of such terms doesn't really offend me but I am surprised that so many protesters against here feel comfortable using such terms that they would probably oppose in most other circumstances

 

She was no dog..quite attractive in a dominatrix sort of way:blush:

 

 

Batty in a sexist way is used by Jamiacans as an put-down to gay men as I understand it, so how does that fit here ?

 

The terms are quite mild and I for one never wished her dead, but canot bring myself to feel sadness or respect and wont waste time watching the funeral.

Birdy's list of 42 Thatches ills rings very true.

 

It is irrelevant whether Blair also did bad things (he did !) and that is just a tactic by her supporters to deflect criticism. I just hope we never see the like of her again, above all else she was an insult to the female sex and its natural traits of caring, nurturing and empathy.Look at the 2 creatures she has mothered, especially Mark, a fine example of British values (NOT).

 

Dominatrix ? - I think I'm going to be sick at the thought of her and Denis at it. If you found her attractive, then I have a link for you

Batty means crazy, insane with the abbreviated form bat referring to a crazy, insane woman

As i said i am not ofended by them, just surprised that lefties would use such terms when in most other circumstances I belive they would find such sexism unacceptable...I guess it depends who the target is

Certainly agree with a lot of them

 

It is irrelevant whether Blair also did bad things (he did !) and that is just a tactic by her supporters to deflect criticism.

 

In some cases that is probably true but then most of her supporters accept the criticisms..it's the anti-Thatchers who won't accept her successes

 

I just hope we never see the like of her again,

 

I'd rather have conviction politicians than the wet popularity seeking careerists that we have now (in the main)

 

above all else she was an insult to the female sex and its natural traits of caring, nurturing and empathy.

 

Well, I've read many different accounts of her and I certainly don't see her in any way as an inlsult to the female sex..quite the opposite on many levels

 

Look at the 2 creatures she has mothered, especially Mark, a fine example of British values (NOT).

 

Creatures? A son,husband and father and he's referred to as a 'creature'? Nice

Maybe I was being tongue in cheek? Like yourself?

 

Can't say for one second that I have ever thought of her and Denis at it...what kind of weird sick world do you live in where people have such thoughts??

[For Us All]

What about the passing of almost the entire pottery industry under the leadership of Blair and Brown?

 

Still haven't forgiven that clown Brown for raiding the pensions in 1997 and destroying final salary pensions.

[philpvfc]

Brown is the worst prime minister this country has ever seen, and was never voted in by the British public.

[mr.hobblesworth]

 

Phooaarrr! She could snatch my milk!

[mr.hobblesworth]

She could sink my belgrano.

[mr.hobblesworth]

She can decimate my mining community.

[blackdog]

She can decimate my mining community.

 

No need to Arthur Scargill and Joe Gormley did that

[Aney]

It's been a memorable event..set the right tone, truthful, very human

 

As to thet family not appearing emotional..well I suspect that's how they were raised to be..to only show emotions in certain circumstances, stiff upper lip and all that; doesn't mean they aren't feeling emotional

 

**** off John, they hated her as well.

[Aney]

Brown is the worst prime minister this country has ever seen, and was never voted in by the British public.

 

Agreed. Thatcher 2nd tho.

[Aney]

No need to Arthur Scargill and Joe Gormley did that

 

History failure alert!

[valiantms]

She can decimate my mining community.

 

The one you're looking for is....

 

She could have my pit prop.
