It appears that these Brits thought is was sick when Thatcher was still breathing.
Oh what a relief it is. :0)

Yeah, because Thatcher and coulter are anywhere near the same level. Coulter is a bufoonish self promoter, the likes of Rush, Olbermann etc...
Thatcher was one of the best leaders of the past century.

Well the graves of the Newton kids were getting pretty worn out. They had to find a new location.

What happened to the general state of the UK economy under Thatcher? Oh yeah, that is what the left doesn't want to talk about. They instead prefer to find a photo of a group of people celebrating the death of another person. How compassionate.

It appears that your argument is with these real happy Brits .. all who know more about Thatcher and her reign than you do.
More importantly, what in the Hell would make you think that her enemies would not dance on her grave? What in the Hell would make anyone believe that this wrinkled-up shell of a woman was universally loved or even respected?
Margaret Thatcher's children deserve our sympathies at her death but there are no tears for Thatcherism
She was a Prime Minister who split Britain down the middle and the country will never unite in mourning. I shed no crocodile tears for her nasty politics

No, my argument is with people who post pictures of a few people celebrating the death of another person. It is also erroneous to suggest that everyone in your photo knows more about Thatcher than I do.
1) No one suggested she was universally loved or respected. But she was a great leader.
2) I knew her enemies would dance on her graves. They are a bunch of uncouth morons.

They are BRITS. It's incredibly arrogant of you to think that you know more about their country and leaders than they do.
What the fuck is that .. supremacy?
That's YOUR opinion .. obviously not the opinion of a great many who lived under her rule.
Again, that's YOUR opinion.
Fuck Margaret Thatcher.
That's my opinion.

Well here is a site that gives quite a cross section of this morning's front pages. Read what the author has to say. Like me, he was there.

Thatcherites were not for nothing referred to as vegetables by Spitting Image. Rather as much of America castigated the blind sheeple of bush.
She was such a friend of Ray Gun that when he unzipped his fly her head popped out so they could both piss all over the workers of America and UK.
Pissing on a country doesn't mean you own it. that is cat law, not human law. (after R Gervais)

There are many BRITS that know more about our country and leaders than the average American. It is a question of whether or not a person studies history or not. It is a question of whether a person pays attention to politics or not. It is incredibly stupid to think that every Brit in that photo knows more about Thatcher just because they are British.
Not in the least.
and yet the great many kept returning her to office... it is just like Reagan here. Liberals hate him and proclaim that he was not good, yet he won in landslides. Thatcher is one of the most respected leaders in the past century. It doesn't mean everyone loved her. It doesn't mean every decision she made was gold. She had flaws just like everyone else. But overall she was a great leader and led the UK to a recovery.

I lived for a while in Toxteth. Enough said. I am quite familiar with Liverpool docks AND I remember the words of Arthur Dooley, a wonderful scouse artist whose site is here:
http://www.arthurdooleyarchive.com/major-works.php
I watched (with mixed feelings at the time, how the liverpool docks were treated and the hardship it brought to the city. I remember thatcher saying that Liverpool did not deserve to be saved (or words to that effect) I attended (as a voyeur) union meetings at the Pier Head.
As I understand it you live in coal country, I had an office in North Derbyshire from '83 - '86 (I think). I saw at first hand the hardship that thatcher caused to the local villages. Most of our staff had relatives working in the pits. I was regularly stopped and checked by the police as I drove to work.
As a southerner I saw, also at first hand, how her regime advantaged the south. relations of mine hardly knew about the terrors of her war against the workers of Britain.
Please dont tell me I am talking bullshit, Tom. You know, I hope, that I am not.
Once again lets have a chorus of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.
The only question left is will the police arrive at St Paul's on Wednesday mounted on horseback with batons akimbo and will they be paid the obscene bonuses they were paid to beat starving miners into submission?

I will celebrate when that cunt Scargill dies, he deliberately took on the government fully expecting that they would collapse like Ted Heath did in the '70s. I was watching something earlier and one of her ex-ministers said that they were only able to amass such large stockpiles of coal in power stations because the electricity workers were totally sick of the antics of the miners.
I know exactly what happened in the pit villages of South Yorkshire and it was terrible but I blame Scargill for using the miners for his own aims. Isn't it funny that the NUM, or what's left of it, has been trying to get the bastard out of his grace and favour apartment in the Barbican but he won't go.
I also ask you the question again, how many miners would have been left after all the coal power stations have been shut down by treehuggers, Greenies and the EU? In fact it was Michael Heseltine and the Dash for Gas that did for the miners and that was in the nineties!!

He does that a lot. Remember the photos of all the "adoring millions" of Ghaddafi in Tripoli and likewise in Venezuela for Chavez.

I am a Brit who live through the '70s and '80s. I doubt that you have even been out of the US.

It's an arrogant assumption to assume that you know more than the millions of Brits who disagree with you.
It's your opinion .. that's all it is.
Didn't really think so brother .. just wanted you to know how it sounds.
You mean we kept returning like George Bush to office .. now considered the worst president in American history .. you mean like the applause and Nobel Peace Prize for Obama .. now a corporatist warmonger who conducts the Bush foreign policy on steroids and being investigated for war crimes? You mean like that?
C'mon man. Surely you don't belong among those who so easily fall for the bullshit.

That's because you're a moron.
There are millions of Brits who also live there AND who also say fuck Margaret Thatcher.
Why the fuck are you here talking to me. :0)
Isn't your argument with your own mates?
.. and yeah dude .. I've been out of the country several times.

Yes and that is exactly what I'm doing as well on Facebook. You would have been very happy in '70s England, it was highly taxed, bankrupt, with a command economy that was hardly distinguishable from Eastern European puppet states. That's why I have to smile when you spout on about socialism, we had it in spades in the '70s and it was fucking awful.
