    I am surprised. She snatched milk away from the kids because she believed they ought to have got it themselves ie milk it/work hard for it themselves. She was outraged at the fact that city dwellers got milk for free whilst her parentage/family had to work hard to get it. City kids were therefore penalised for it. Why else do you think she snatched the milk out of their daily diet? out of charity for the poor? she was angered her family had to do work hard for it and city kids only had to wave money at it to get it.

    Completely wrong indeed.


    Maggie however was no no simple but more a complex stoic with no denouement if I may say so. Very randy and ferocious. I would not want to cross another like her again. Let's keep farmers to their lands it is best kept that way and fair. City is bad air for peasants.
    But you just said in two separate posts that she was a country girl. After I clarified why it was laughed at the first time, you said it again. And are now denying it? I'm confused.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    I am not denying I am saying she is a peasant girl. where does it say I have denied it?
    I said she was no simple she was more a stoic duplexity in the sense that she was both a peasant and brought up in a city. It is a kind of a cultural mix up and a very bad one. not a cocktail by any means but a more a lethal potion.

    I misunderstood your last post. I was genuinely asking for clarification, which you have now provided

    I would say someone in her position came saw and conquered but also destroyed and uprooted evil from its own grief. The worse ever to happen to the UK. That is my opinion. She was devisive and still is and tories and labour will suffer as a consequence of it because they saw something in her they could not quite get and yet revere her. That is shocking and it will cost them their politics.

    This must surely be the most disingenuous post in the history of Litnet.

    Joan of Arc said she heard the voice of God commanding her, but Mrs Thatcher wouldn't have let him get a word in sideways and, although he does look weak and weedy, John Major not only holds Oliver Cromwell's old constituency but actually went to bed with Edwina Curry: a proposition that even the Lord Protector would have quailed at.

    Is that when they started keeping cows in their garden?

    Knowing Maggie, I am sure she would get up early before the Cabinet meetings to make sure that milking was done just so.

    And then laugh at all the children who didn't get milk that day?





    Weren't we supposed to be talking about death, anyway?

    Tasteless no doubt, but this song is challenging for number 1 in the charts. The BBC is considering whether to play it. Given that the last song banned when it got to No. 1 was the Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen", if it is banned, it will join a notable list of the politically uncomfotable and will go down in history.

    I just don't think people who weren't involved, part of or living in an affected industrial area in the 80s really understand how negative the policies were for those people. So many were affected. As the figurehead - like Blair with the Gulf War- she took, and is taking the flak.

    Edit - Newsnight is running a piece on it as I type.

    I'm finding all this silliness very cathartic, especially the battle of the songs. Years of Thatcher bitterness leaving my body.
