Just Watching Thatcher A Very British Revolution On Bbc4

[ToraToraTora]

wonderful, just how lucky we were at the time, even you 5C types she saved though I'd never expect you to realise it. Forgive them Mags for they know not what they do.
Wish we had her today. Poltroons do your worst, a ton of you is not worth an ounce of her.

TTT , I have to say I detested to woman and all of us from mining communities did, she broke families up, a fathers and sons and brothers, she decimated pit villages in the NE and other mining areas,
Why then did I ‘turn Tory’?
Tony Blair , that’s why

[Bobbisox1]

N.B
I wish we had someone as strong as she was now

Someone will pop in soon with 'Labour closed more pits' stuff.

Poltroons is already wearing very thin BTW, are you OCD?

[ToraToraTora]

the most wonderful times:"I can't bear Britain in decline I just can't we who either defeated or rescued half Europe who kept half Europe free when otherwise it would be in chains and look at us now, does it matter whether it was a man or a woman?" no it doesn't Mags thank you.

bobbi they did that themselves by being led by a rissole. Scargill took his salary the whole time he gave nothing to the miners.

The SNP were fans of her back in 1979.They enabled her.SNP-the Tartan Tories.All the SNP nationalists on here have just gone into hiding.

[ToraToraTora]

even Kinnochio is praising her now!

[ToraToraTora]

Yess ynna, they were the tartan Tories !

[ynnafymmi]

Aye,the SNP.Nationalists then,nationalists now.

[ToraToraTora]

I can remember my Grandad saying the Unions ran the country and they probably did, not when TGL came in. Gutless sheet bags were hammered.

[Bobbisox1]

I was there Tora, it was a horrible time

[ToraToraTora]

then why did you hate her bobs? she fixed Britain.

[ynnafymmi]

@22.16.Blame the SNP,bobbi.The SNP enabled her.

So do I Tora. So do I.

Coincidentally I've recently been watching "The Crown" and I'm up to the part where TGL has just been asked by Her Maj to form a government. It's very well done and Gillian Anderson plays MT extremely well. Mrs NJ and I almost shed a tear as we recalled that day with utter joy. The relief we felt on that day, when we realised that at last it looked like somebody would rescue us from the utter nightmare that the shambles of the previous few years had become, was indescribable. Yes, the next few years were difficult at times, especially when interest rates hit 15% and we had a hefty mortgage. But it had to be done and we were quite prepared to endure the pain for a longer term gain.

This country now needs another Mrs T. It needs a bloody good shake up because it has descended into a torpid state brought on mainly, though not entirely, as a result of some of the ridiculous measures and practices that followed from the pandemic. Alas I have no confidence that any of the current lot have the vision or the ability to deal with the current malaise. When you look at the way Mrs T sorted the country out, there's nobody that even comes close to her level of determination and grit that we sorely need.

I hated her when I witnessed family’s at war with each other , the spitting and shouting that was a part of where I lived

[ToraToraTora]

judge you said it better that i ever could. Stay here we both will have to deflect the 5C onslaught.

[ToraToraTora]

bobs: "I hated her when I witnessed family’s at war with each other , the spitting and shouting that was a part of where I lived " - why was that her fault?

[ynnafymmi]

@22.26.SNP bastrads,eh,bobbi.

[Bobbisox1]

I have to say , there’s no way she’d have been bullied by those in Europe, she was a strong leader , I concede

[ToraToraTora]

bobs i get it, but it's a lot more complex.
