o wonder she and Reagan worked so well together.
-
Gonna see it Sunday. Not the biggest fan of Thatcher, but I figure why not see the movie since it will bring out her good parts (cutting some government waste and saying "no" to the public sector unions). Any reviews?
-
Im thinking about seeing this but I dont really now all that much about her.
-
If you look at all the policies, the economy, state of the military...of Great Britain when she came in, and the immedite changes she made to turn the country around...its very impressive. When the Brits went into the Falklands, Reagan put the 2nd Marine Div on elert to help out..she refused our help because she knew that the Brits had to stand on their own to feet, send a message to the Soviets and the British people that they were back.

Anytime I see her or hear her name, this is the only thing I can think about. lol

The UK is really chugging along now. Videotaping students in the bathroom and all.
And by "UK" I really mean the "Islamic Republic of the Britainstan".

Her classic line skewers the Obama-worshipping, "Thrill-Up-My-Leg" mantra the libs keep spewing:
What the honorable member is saying is that he would rather the poor were poorer, provided the rich were less rich!
PRICELESS!!!

Before Thatcher Came To Power, The UK Was Literally Covered In Gigantic Piles Of Garbage

Margaret Thatcher came to lead the U.K. in 1979 after a series of disputes between the government and Britain's then-powerful trade unions.
The new British Prime Minister set out to wage war on what she saw was the "enemy within" the U.K., and many people supported her in this fight.
To understand why Thatcher had this support, check out these photos of central London from 1979s "Winter of Discontent", which show trash piling up on the streets after U.K.'s dustmen (a.k.a. garbage collectors) went on strike.
It's worth bearing in mind that Leicester Square is pretty much the epicenter of London's glamorous West End — a tourism hot spot where movie premieres are held.
These photos show the incredible effect the unions (and union strikes) had on the average citizen's life, and — amazingly — they occurred under Thatcher's predecessor, Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan, a left-wing leader who relied on the union's support!
Just a few months after these photos were taken, Callaghan lost a confidence vote in the House of Commons and was obliged to call an election. Thatcher was voted in to power in the U.K., and the Conservative Party enjoyed 18 years of government.

These are very visceral images, but they really only scratch the surface of how much tensions between unions and governments affected the average citizen's life in the 1970s.
In another notorious example, the British government imposed a 3-day week in early 1974 for commercial users of electricity after industrial action by miners.

Now that she's dead, I see no reason to develop amnesia and canonize her.
Ya... she accomplished alot on a personal level, ...but she was far from a saint.
I remember much of what she did, ...and alot of it wasn't pretty.
