Margaret Thatcher

[Aussie Rules]

But wasn't she fighting in order to win the 1983 election (allegedly)?

 

That was my understanding too JA. Her electoral stock was low and she needed a rallying point. Falklands it was.

Pint of milk to mark the occaision?

 

Given her "anti-Europe" stance wouldn't a litre be more appropriate?

Another option would be to drop her down a pit shaft.

[aspins-revenge]

It doesn't reflect poorly in my eyes. I quite like a spot of the dark carnivalesque.

She was PM during the Falklands.She would be closer to what she was fighting for.She would be a long way from here.Quick ceremony put her box on the slide.tilt the slide and watch her sink.

 

Make no mistake Melv she is a massive hero in the Falklands.I went to Port Stanley ,only about 5 years ago,and her picture is still everywhere.The Marmite PM is probably the best way to describe her.RIP.

So if she used it to her own ends all the more reason.

I was there when it was going on.Still don't like her or what she did.

I'm sure there is an easy answer to that and some people willing to help open one up.

I can think of several better ways. Unfortunately, the swear filter blocks them all.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

One could argue that what she did needed to be done to free the Falkland Islanders and then she exploited that politically; can't blame her for doing that

 

One could also argue that the did what she did because of it's political benefits for her and her govt which would be a whole different kettle of fish.

[Markie G]

One of the greatest Prime Ministers of all time. You can not argue with the fact that she was British through and through. She was the Iron Lady and will be missed.

 

I am not a conservative btw, I just had respect for what she did. She made mistakes as do all Prime Minister but she believed in what she did, whether she was right or wrong she did what she believe in.

 

R.I.P

[JOHNNYAITCH]

whether she was right or wrong she did what she believe in.

Put your tin hat on and get ready for the 'so did Hitler/Stalin etc' responses:rolleyes:

I dont think the timing of the Falklands was down to her was it? She did what needed to be done and the right thing in my opinion. She used it politically but who wouldnt.... Blair would have.
