Ding dong the witch is dead

[Streetbudgie]

Before Maggie this country was going down the shitter (dead not buried, car plants striking every other day, 3 day week, streets full of rubbish, inflation at 22%, the pound worth F all, petrol rationing etc.) and that was under Labour.
Many of you on here really don't remember these days, I and my fellow war babies remember all what went on in this country before Maggie got in in 1979 and this country was well fucked, the IMF had to bale us out for fucks sake (Greece now) the 3 day week was the shits you could not even sign on the Buroo cos the Labour Government had no fuckin money to help families out, just like they left us after Broon & Darling had fucked us again.
So don't take your ire out on someone who had all that to contend with--short memories these Labour lefties have.

Bullshit, she used a sledgehammer to crack a nut and took great delight in boosting her ego while doing it.

This country was into debt for lots of reasons, one being the war debt we were paying to the USA - where were they when Thatcher slung our defenses into the Falklands because she wouldn't negotiate?  I'd have said stick your debt up your arse after that.
