Gagamel 3,410 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 So Tony Blair's invasion of Iraq didn't "ruin thousands/millions of people's lifes"? Or Russell's handling of the Irish famine? She's not unique in British leaders to (inadvertently) cause harm through economics policies. Thatcher's actions (or lack of) have arguably led to death on some occasions (namely the Falklands and Northern Ireland issues) but the reasoning you're using to compare her to such extreme characters to Hitler is completely unjustified and frankly your self-interest in solely Scottish issues is doing nothing for how people view Scottish nationalists. That guy is a mess, he made a thread about Thatcher a week ago about how much he hates her. He loves his country yet doesn't even speak the language properly, should just ignore him.

What do you mean "yet doesn't even speak the language properly" sorry gurl I have better language skills than you do. I may be a mess towards ALL politicians but you are judging me on my hatred towards one politicians whereas I could be a really nice person. Together You And I!

Gagamel 3,410 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I am talking how those horrible beings. I am talking about one person, if I was addressing Tony Blair etc I would of talked about them. I just view Maggie Thatcher as the person who shut down all the industry which ruined the working class man in Britain. What do you expect? For me to support the UK which I believe Scotland would be without. It is natural to support your own country (despite my belief that the world should be one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

faux 2,190 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hate Margaret all you want, but she was a strong person. I respect her for that. This quote is inspirational. Like other quotes of Margaret Thatcher. ´The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.´ ´Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.´ ´The spirit of envy can destroy; it can never build.´´It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.´ ´I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.´ Preach.

StrawberryBlond 14,898 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I disagree with Thatcher politically but I can appreciate what she has done for women in politics. I think that's what Madonna was doing as well It's odd you say that when most women believe Thatcher did the worst disservice for women in politics. For the first time ever, a woman came into power...and she messed everything up. That only seemed to prove all the misogynists and s-xists right - that women weren't up for the job at all and could make worse decisions than male politicians. It's no wonder that women have never even come close to being PM ever since. People who lived through the Thatcher years admit that they get flashbacks every time they see a female politician and are scared that by voting for a woman, any woman, she'll win and turn into another Thatcher, especially if she's conservative. If that's not a disservice to women, I don't know what is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he ends up screwing everything up then I would probably feel the same way you're describing right now. I just would like to think that at least some people will be able to divorce womanhood with Margaret herself and that they will be able to vote for (hopefully) a more liberal female PM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uo111 5,265 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 She is famed for a lot more than anti-gay policies and literally everyone was anti-gay back then, the ignorant fools.But lambasting one person about their ignorance when they are one in a sea of ignorance is, well, ignorant.
