Off Topic The Politics Thread

The North is Newbury to me, if that helps?

 

Been to the North ‘ave yer?
Eat babies do you?
Rainbows in black & white down your way?
I went to the North once and it was ****ing closed!

(Alexei Sayle)

 

It does.

 

This argument that Blair wasn't really Labour doesn't wash. If they had over 10 years to correct what you thought Thatcher got wrong, and didn't, then blame them Labour. Remember, Thatcher inherited a **** economy from the grunge years of the 1970's. Blair's inheritance was in a better condition, after Ken Clarke sorted out the ERM mess.

NIMBY's flourished under New Labour. Not in towns, but in the countryside, people value green belt and views of nature without a housing estate in the middle. There is an esthetic side of life that needs to be valued.

 

It snows there a lot and Trump wants to buy it

 

The North is a wilderness and occupied by Neanderthals. Still at least the main language is english, albeit broken english. All are welcome. I can sign some day passes for anyone for a small fee.

 

There are plenty of parts of London like that. I have friends that live in Harrogate - it's beautiful town

 

Live about 5 miles from harrogate. It is a lovely and expensive place.

 

Fabulous place to live. Went winter walking in Pateley Bridge a few years ago - wading through 4 foot drifts. Loved it, a beautiful part of Yorkshire

 

Absolutely and widely accepted now at last thankfully now the story has been fully told

Still plenty of people still about who think she was a queen type figure.

She set the tone no argument especially for my generation imo

She is directly responsible and ruled as a dictator far too many examples to list in fact

Many seem still stuck in the crap she brought about thankfully she is dead and as I understand it got her just rewards in her final years. Can only imagine the guilt she took with her

 

Beautiful area that Bob

 

Can't you change the print colour to white, Kiwi?

 

Same same every post.

 

Pretty charmless perspective. I wouldn’t mind betting that much of the economic landscape within which you thrive can be attributed to foundations that her administration laid down.

I wouldn’t wish dementia on anyone.

 

Absolutely. Lovely countryside

 

Exactly .

Sums up the hatred that those on the left exude.

 

I went to college in Harrogate - nice area.

That's not the North though, ya bunch of southerners....

And yes, Thatcher was a **** up here too - lots of joyous singing on the terraces when she died. I had a lot of time for her until I moved up here abd saw the havoc she wrought upon the industries and people of Scotland.

 

I have a lot of family up in scotland who were directly affected by that old witches decisions. She didnt care less for people up north of the bubble. As for hatred from the left, as Col put it, then if you weren't affected by her regime then you wouldnt have a problem with her. If you were then you would understand the celebrations at her death. She created misery up here for thousands. Good riddance to the evil bitch. If it had been a labour or any other party leader that inflicted the misery she did, then I would say exactly the same about them!

 

Done

 

My old man lived with me for 15 years and suffered from it and a lot . We adjusted fine and as he would say I can only live in the now anyway. Thatcher no way I did things my own way and proud of it one thing very close to my entire being is that I rebelled against that landscape.

Remember I have had property in France for over 35 years now I think about it accurately.

Anyone even mildly suggested that I have in anyway Thatcher to thank face to face then they would fall foul of the deep resentment that fuelled everything I am.

Charm and Thatcher do not mix.
She was an awful dictator and would never receive anything but hate from me.

I am ****ing livid just being reminded of her.
