When I joined the army we were paid buttons, Maggie sorted that out and paid us a living wage. Another thing in her favour as far as I'm concerned.
That`s spooky, i was going to write a thread on the perils of scotch bonnets. I made chicken and black bean sauce and added a little orange bastard to the mix to zing it up a bit. My fingernails were so low from peeling them that i cut a few , both hands were in agony and i too had a jostle and managed to heat my plums a bit, this was surprisingly quite pleasurable.. <Also today>
What did Margaret thatcher do wrong? Answer: Through policies such as anti-union legislation, poll tax, selling council houses, privatisation of national industry and massive deconstruction of Britain's social wealth (e.g. NHS, public transport), she deliberately annihilated any area of British life that was built around community, responsibility to others, collaboration, shared destiny. Two quotes from her sum it up: "There's no such thing as society" "Economics are the method; the object is to change the heart and soul." The fragmented culture Britain suffers today (Cameron's 'broken Britain') - the anti social behaviour, the selfishness and greed, the lack of cohesion and responsibility - is a direct result of her obsession with uncontrolled competition and the way she gave it to the country. She has done Britain enormous damage, knowingly and without compassion, to support her ideal of a ruthless, dog-eat-dog world. She also supported Pol Pot, General Pinochet and to a lesser extent the Apartheid regime of S Africa.
Ah now hash man. She made Mark Thatcher go to bed with no tea when the terrorist that came out of her fanny was acting up.
