So you loved Thatch but hate ELO!! I'm worried you must have suffered some kind of emotional abuse in your formative years. What else could account for it?
Never voted for the Thatch. Took the view then as now that they're all see you next tuesdays. But all this 'victim' squealing 30 years after (specially by kids not even born at the time) does my tree in. And to think we'll have to endure this all this angst & posturing again when President Blair snuffs it......
I feel the same way about the 'Hero Worshipers' who had no personal experience of Thatcher or the 80s but still feel informed enough to lecture those who did.
He's called Patten and he's the greatest prime minister this country never had. And his daughter hot.
Apparently there was no silence for Callaghan or Heath either. I always find that regardless of which side of a dispute I was on before I hear him speak, by the time he's finished I'm supporting the opponent. WTF? I know it can't possibly be true, but I so hope it is when I watch it later. I heard it's going to be an £8M policing bill for it. Obviously the Met Police are joining WYP in living in the past and are drafting in extra officers to prevent our high risk supporters saving another old woman's life.
the FA are thinking of having a minutes silence out of respect for the Iron Lady. cant see it being respected in Barnsley and other pit towns.
How would anti-Thatcher spectators react to the applause though? I suggest possibly with booing and other noisy disturbance making the whole idea of involving spectators counter productive.
And the country is paying for those policies NOW. The communist system would of fallen anyway as it was a flawed system.All policies that have made the bankers and Shareholders rich and the people who really earn the money poorer. This country is fast approaching been the poor man of the industrial world. The class system is NOT dead, it is growing and we are fast emulating Brazil where the super rich live in Penthouses and the super poor live in wooden shanty towns, in fact the only reason this country cannot be described as third world is the fact that our poor have not yet been put in wooden Shanty towns, but mark my words if the policies of Thatcher and her followers(this government) continue we will get there. Thatcher policies are Robin Hood in reverse, rob the poor to feed the rich.
Agreed, Madejski is deluded if he thinks the Scousers will observe a minute's silence for her only a couple of days before the Hillsborough anniversary. It's likely to cause more trouble than its worth and I don't think the fires need stoking anymore. I'd rather hear about the football on Match of the Day, not some people observing or not observing a minute's silence.
