Re: Thatcher has Dementia

It's not the 'blood on the hands' that annoys me, or is even an issue, just that Blair is more of a slippery cunt than Thatcher, Heseltine, Ingram or any of that lot. For all the brutality metted out by the various Thatcher governments and sub-governments, Team Blair truly raised the bar for contemptability with their dishonesty, corruption, whitewashing and backstabbing. That'd be bad enough if they held the politics that they claimed to, but up until recently they were instigating policies further to the right and more authoritarian than anything the Conservative party front bench would dream of putting forward.

I'll concede that my seething hatred of Blair and his cronies over Thatcher is in part due to my having lived adult life through his reign and not her's, but the distinctions between the two in ideological and policy terms are so little as to be negligible.

Personally I think Thatcher at least looked us in the face when she was going to make it rough for people. Blair and his government just shuffled it under papers and juggled the figures to appear good.

Regardless of this Thatchers a Monster attitude you can't seriously say that Blair hasn't been just as bad. Actually you can probably seriously say that but I'll completely disagree with you, mainly for what Metallideth has said and were normally on opposite sides of the political fence.

Re: Thatcher has Dementia

Blair worse than Thatcher...only on this forum would you ever read such utter pish
Anyone who agrees with this pish, in my eyes is a misguided moron, not a bad person, but quite simply a moron,
I know I'm wasting my time in this thread so it's probably going to be the last I'll say on the matter

If I'm being completely honest I actually feel very disappointed and rather sick to my stomach that anyone who who's Lived in Scotland could ever have a good word to say about that woman, she was a monster plain and simple, yes as I said Blair is far from perfect, however I'd far rather someone like he was in charge of this country for the rest of my days than have to suffer 1 day under the rule of a murdering cold hearted cow like Thatcher

Re: Thatcher has Dementia

Thanks for that. People were on the edge of their seats, there, wanting to to know the political viewpoint of the complex intellectual who uses the word "pish" in each of the first two sentences of his radical, Luther King-esque speech.

Re: Thatcher has Dementia

"Let's be big boys and girls"? Are you being condescending...? WAY TO TAKE DIGS AT PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET, M8!

Listen, buddy, we're in the same boat here. Don't take it as a dig. I don't know shit about politics either! That's why I swerve all discussions on the matter! I suppose I could make some horribly over the top "x is a murderous cow~!!" or "y is ruining the country~!!" type commentary in response to posts that vaguely agree with my own opinions, and try to look like I know what I'm talking about, but honestly I know that even the people I'm agreeing with don't want me coming in and "backing them up" with that kind of garbage patter. So I just leave it alone.

Very much doubt it's the last you'll say on the matter seeing as you seem to have an answer for everything. But fair play to ye big man, know what am saying, New Labour aren't the Tories or whatever other bogeyman's lurking under the bed so we can all sleep tight tonight!

fair enough, I get what you are saying, however I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to politics, actually is my chosen subject in school/college
I was just in a bastard of a mood and saw what you had typed as a dig, no offence taken mate

ah fuck it, I may even take your advise and just leave politics alone on this forum, cos lets face it this forum is full of know it all little baw bags who spout utter pish day in day out for no other reason that I can see other than to wind other people up, tragic if you ask me

as for metallideth, lets just agree to disagree on the matter of Thatcher,
it's fair to say that neither of us is really going to agree with the other, and again if I'm being honest this thread is starting to bore the arse of me
