Re: Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013
No problem, Adriana. I'm certainly not going to pick a fight with you. But I do believe that anything which forces the UK out of the EU and into that hopeless Little Englander/Daily Mail crap about somehow standing on our own is simply deluded. It isn't how the world works these days.
If I went back to Scotland I would be hoping that by unshackling itself from the stupid xenophobia which seems to infect far too many of the English, Scotland would strive to remain part of a united Europe.
An independent Scotland would not be making a contribution to the ludicrous and utterly wasteful cost of Trident and would also be asking England to remove all of its nuclear weapons from Scottish soil.
The Scandinavian countries seem to cope quite well without nuclear defence. Scotland would too.

Re: Ding dong,
Yea going from over 13% unemployment to 5.5% unemployment was a terrible thing for her to do.

Re: Ding dong,
I was - thankfully - briefly unemployed during her time in government and it was no fun. She engineered the 13% unemployment rates of the early 80s with her dogmatic monetarist policies. Unemployment rates varied wildly by region during her tenure as well. The south east hardly felt it, whereas in parts of the north and Scotland it rose to between 16 and 18%. I was one of those casualties.
She also pretty effectively closed the mining industry in the 80s throwing thousands out of work and destroying whole communities in the process.
Just sit there in the US with your handful of statistics and your rosy view of her because she was sucking that lazy and corrupt windbag Reagan's cock for the whole decade. You weren't here and you don't know what you're talking about.

Re: Ding dong,
^ Also the cover-up to that football stadium disaster was pretty horrible.
