Thatcher's pussy is haunted

Unfortunately, young pups like Hut*Hut (he's not really 26, is he?), weren't around to actually expeirience Britian in the 1970s, so a lot of revisionist history going on here.

There's +'s and -'s for every leader in every country, so singling out Thatcher for whatever decisions/mistakes she made is kind of pot-kettle-black when you consider what transpired when Tone and Gord got in... ::

Comparing a really big shit to a big shit and a shit doesn't really make any of them anything other than a collection of shit together, does it?

Don't give me that crap about the 70's. Unions went on strike for better conditions and pay. Big fucking deal. It's called collectivism and happens in every western country. Thatcher waited, and waited, and waited, stockpiled and stockpiled and then sent the army into striking workers, smashed industry to ribbons and then sold everything to the highest bidder, destroying millions of lives in the process.

Revisionist my arse.

Except not because the reason New Labour were so ineffectual (and that her legacy is so poisonous) is that they took on all her core assumptions about how the economy worked. That low inflation was key, that Britain was moving into a 'post industrial' age where finance replaced the need to make anything, that progressive tax would cause a wealth drain against all evidence, that unrestricted capital flows would increase efficiency & investment in the real economy (while continuing to dismantle it), that privitization would create efficient public services, that shareholder value maximization meant good business performance, that housing was an asset market which would make us all richer by alchemy. They were rowing down the river she sent Britain down, just slightly slower.

No pluses with Thatcher.

I love you Hut.

The movie indeed sucked. Not totally because for a drama and historical piece I was fairly entertained. The sucked part comes from what Ugotabe Kidding described when he mentioned how the film showed so much of her present life where she spoke to her dead husband or did insignificant things like set out his clothes.

Why they chose to show more of her pointless present life then they did of her significant past is beyond me, but it was really frustrating and ruined what could have been a much better film.
5.5/10 - with zero rewatchability.

Eventually got around to this movie. I thought it was really good yes it kinda skips a lot of important part of history but hey its a movie.

On a human level I think that is a terrible way for a person to end up, a tortured mind would be hell on earth.

Questions for some of the Brits, the industries that should wipe out, where they profitable?
