Being an anarchist, and all in favour of free speech, etc, it pains me to agree with an admin. But Aegis has a valid point. Swearing at each other achieves nothing.
This entire thread, the entire rejoicing about Maggie's death says a hell of a lot more about the posters than it does about Thatcher herself. What have we achieved, what has the entire "ding dong" movement achieved? Sod all, all it shows is that there are many embittered people out there who can't put things behind them, and will likely go to the grave cursing, and wishing ill of all and sundry.
And before you lay into me, I'd like to clarify a few things:
I am a Breton, more so than a Brit. the Bretons are known forn their stubborness and refusal to forgive. Yet this outpourong of undiluted hatred would shame the most embittered crone of the deepest cranny of Brittany
I am too young to have lived under Thatcher. I do know, however, that blaming todays problems on Thatcher is daft. We've had enough politicians between her and now to fuck us sideways twice, and still have time to flip our pension funds over for seconds.
This thread is very ironically being kept alive by anti-Thatcher sentiment. Surely if you're so happy she's dead, you should want to put all thought of her behind you, and achieve some kind of closure on the matter?
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I do have respect for the dead. Just because Hitler and Stalin were evil bastards does not mean I will go and dance on their graves. I would not like to stoop to their level.
The way I see it, an old tired woman has shuffled off this mortal coil. As a Catholic, I believe there is retribution in the next life. What ever the mistakes she made whilst alive, she's gone now. Time to move on, and let her go.
