Thanks. Everyone tosses chairs at me.

Sometimes that's how I feel swatting chairs away.

No, with you it's more a case of a series of chairs bouncing off your head while you stand there going "Ha! Missed again!".

this isn't true at all, and i think it's something that many people misinterpret, both in the UK and abroad. thatcher’s political outlook was not one of randian hyper-individualism, but one rather based on nationalism (and racism, and homophobia etc.), "law and order", contempt for civil liberties and local accountability, as well as (and i would argue, more so than) right-wing economics. it was her successors who carried on with the right wing economics while dispensing with the more conservative elements of her programme, and this perhaps explains why her legacy has been cast in such a light.

people who lived under her didn't have these illusions; there's a reason that v for vendetta is set in a fascist rather than a neo-liberal dystopia.

I love how you just glossed over the whole "throwing loyal subjects of the Crown under the bus" thing.

Sorry, that is not the action of someone who loves their country.

whenever i see kid and ben arguing with someone:

You mean feminazis who hit people with chairs? I only ever talk to them on the internet where they can't pull that ****.

i'm talking about the reality of her political perspective. your view of the issue seems rather ill-informed.

Kidicious is the greatest Poaster on this site.

To be fair, giving you less than what's advertised is probably much healthier for you.

Also, what's advertised isn't actually food.

Once again you're dodging it, perhaps because you know there's no way someone can honestly say she loved her country if she wasn't willing to even undertake the most basic, fundamental steps that a head of government is expected to do.

Kenobi, no-selling chairshots better than the Undertaker.

i have explained why your first statement:

Thatcher loved business. She had ambivalent feelings towards Queen and Country.

is incorrect, and why many people hold that incorrect view.

as your response neither provides evidence to support your first statement, nor contradicts what i said, and is itself uninteresting, there is little point in discussing it.

The majority is not always right. it takes a certain amount of courage to stand in the face of adversity and odds to to do whats right!!
