Well, come to think of it, anything north of the Watford Gap was pretty much shit as far as she was concerned. In the late 70's and early 80's she went on an "anti-working class" crusade (that's what we called ourselves back then. not "middle class". Those were the jumped up prats who drove Rovers and wore Trilbies and voted Tory no matter what that put that worthless bitch in power) I spent months in the South Atlantic fighting a war that should never have happened, but did because of her. Just before the Falkands War (and yes, it was a war, not a "conflict") as SOB says, she was the most hated leader ever. She rode a wave of British patriotism back into power and continued to destroy the manufacturing base of our country. Turned one of the greatest nations in the world into a damn Service Industry country. To this day I am amazed at how many people still think she was great. I would not piss on her if she was on fire. What she did is why I left Britain to come to somewhere better. I hope she lives for another 20 years in a wheelchair, shitting in her pants and not knowing who she is. If I was her I wouldn't want to know who I was either. I've got to admit that I'm quite surprised by how much you Britshate this woman. I never liked her all that much either, but I remember her beingextremely popular, especially during the Falklands War. I happened to be inSouth America as a student when this war was started by the corrupt Argentinianmilitary junta, desperate to do anything to remain “popular” and stay in power.Everybody believed at the time that Argentina would start a war with Chile overthe Beagle Channel, but the junta decided that it would be easier to send anill prepared army to invade the Falklands instead. The rest is history but I think Maggie made the right decisionwhen she decided to send troops to retake the Falklands. I don’t like war, butsometimes it’s the only option… Cheers Joe Awards
