Swedish Stina D interviews the ironlady Margaret Thatcher
-
She's a dirty old bag of shit, they should dig her up and drag her carcass through every northern town and let us all kick her as she passes and then re-bury her underneath Jimmy saville face down with him hanging out the back of her.
Fucking absolute cu nt she is
-
great woman. had to make tough decisions and stuck by her guns.
unfortunately she will always be hated by many of those that can't understand that a country cannot keep subsidising loss making industries indefinitely.
she completely restructured the uk economy and turned the "sick man of europe" into a thriving economy.
the one big mistake she made (apart from poll tax) was to rekindle such a close relationship with the US. it was ok back then as the US wasn't dragging us into loads of stupid sht but that relationship has cost us dearly over the last 15 yrs and will cost us further in the future.

Can you explain for us Americans what she did to the North. From what I understand she sold off a bunch of government owned companies. Why is this a bad thing?

Moron. ::)

She destroyed all heavy industry, we now make next to nothing.... Where as they could have invested like Germany and had a dual economy instead of half the country working in call centers or on the dole

shut it you northern pr1ck. the north is and always has been an unproductive sh1thole that leeches off the south. what pride does a man take from doing a job in an industry that is in constant loss. with the rest of the nation having to pick up the tab so you can stay in your shtty job.
i'm working class was brought up on one of the shttiest council estates around. now i own a £900k house, two properties i rent out and my own business. my mum and dad bought their council house at a snip of the market value under thatcher's right to buy scheme. this was at a time when the working classes didn't even dream about owning their own properties.
thatcher did more for social mobility for the working classes than anyone in uk history. of course there were losers, there had to be. the unions needed reigning in and non viable industry had to go. in 1979 29 million days were lost through strike action compared to 2 million in 1990. the unions were strangling the country.
here's a few stats from thatcher's legacy
"Between 1984 and 1991, 33 major companies were privatised in what the old guard, such as Harold MacMillan, called “selling off the family silver”.
Associated British Ports, British Airports Authority, British Airways, British Gas, British Steel, British Telecom, 17 electricity companies and 10 water and sewerage companies left public ownership.
According to the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS), the state companies went from costing the Treasury an average of £300m each a year in subsidies to contributing between £3.3bn and £5.8bn a year in corporation tax from 1987 onwards.
British Steel needed £1bn of Treasury support in 1980 on a turnover of £3bn, earning itself a place in the Guinness Book of Records for inefficiency. Soon after privatisation it was profitable and contributing £200m a year in taxes.
British Telecom had a £300m cash injection in 1980; in 1995 it paid £1.1bn to the Exchequer.
The consumer also benefited. By 1995, domestic gas prices fell 25pc and commercial gas costs were 50pc lower. Telecoms charges fell by 40pc and airport charges dropped 10pc."

Those industries needed investment to modernise, as they did in Germany and Holland, Scandinavia etc... That cun.t put all her eggs in one basket...and it could have been done, she was making a political point at the time.

why should the taxpayer have kept indefinitely 'investing' in companies in constant loss where the employees downed tools every 5 minutes when their ever increasing demands were not met?
these industries were not losing money because of lack of investment. they were losing money either due to inefficiency(mainly down to the unions) or because they were simply not viable. how long do you think you can keep pulling coal out of the ground when the cost of getting it out is greater than that of which you can sell it for?
private investors invested in companies that were viable, the rest died. which as hard as it may have been for some, was the right thing for the greater good of the country.
btw, you do realise that germany has a significantly smaller public sector than the uk, right?

Are you for real, they needed modernizing..whats so hard to comprehend about that mr 900k house?, she was on a Tory moral crusade to crush the unions and end heavy industry

typical northern mentality unable to grasp grown up reality. she was on a crusade to turn around a basket case economy known as "the sick man of europe" that had to go cap in hand to the IMF for a bailout (a la modern day greece) and turn it into a prosperous flourishing economy. and she succeeded emphatically.
the unions needed crushing and "heavy industry" needed to stand on it's own two feet.

Swedish Stina D interviews the ironlady Margaret Thatcher
The Iron Maiden helped to put the great back in Great Britain.
"The trouble with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money." She is a goddess and up there with Reagan. In Trump we have our balls, our testicular fortitude back. Great Britain is finding theirs.
Here's a quote for the pussified of the world that speaks to their safe-space, cuntlette ways..."Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people that you are, you aren't."
TransJenner, are you listening? Dickless dude with implants. Just one of the poseur-boys for libtardism.
Liberalism - Taste the rainblow.

Unimpressive stats for a getbigger
hahaha i realise this :D tbh a £900k house in the area i live really is nothing impressive either. it's only a pretty standard 4 bed semi detached victiorian house and i am far from being anywhere near rich.
only reason i pointed it out was to show it's complete bllx that thatcher crushed the working classes. before thatcher working class people had little aspiration, they left school at the earliest opportunity and went to work in factories or other low skilled employment like the generation before them.that was what expected of you. if you were very lucky you learnt a trade.
they never went to university or thought they could do any better than their parents. that all changed under thatcher, it become possible for working class people to break through the class ceiling, and if they had the ability and drive to get on they could.
obviously there were some losers as well as winners but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs as they say.

Of labour had been in charge they would have done exactly the same, lol at anyone thinking political parties have different agendas

Seems fair enough, but what we're really asking here is WYHI? (Solo of course, you wouldn't have to spit-roast her corpse with Jimmy....)

And half the people in the call centers are foreign to boot.

where did all the North Sea Oil revenue go ?
where do you think it went?
-
some of it was used to subsidise the dismantling of the declining heavy industies, the decline was not unique to the UK - the European Coal and Steel Community (genesis of the present EU) was set up partly to address the effects of the decline.
My point was more that it was an enormous strategic mistake that the revenue was not invested in education and training but then the UK has a unique attitute to education and training
don't know what you've been reading (?) but it's complete nonsense. it wasn't a dismantling as such, it was a sell off of badly inefficient publicly owned companies. well the parts that anyone would buy at least, and those companies went from being a drain on the taxpayer to being net contributors within a few years of privatisation.
how much do you think north sea oil receipts are? over the years NSO revenue has averaged approx £6 billion ave per year, whereas the public spend on education is £80 billion +.
what is it you think is so "unique" about uk education?
it seems to fare ok in most of the world ranking tables compiled by various organisations i've seen ( better than the US in most) and many private international schools around the world base their system on the UK curriculum.
