Thatcher is dead.

Done deal. I'll try to leave Miami and the Glades intact, unless that's where Jen is. In which case I might have to send Godzilla if these damned hurricanes can't get it done.
 
Regardless of our respective positions on Thatcher, I think we can all agree that vetteman remains a first-class twit.
 
I truly appreciate threads like these on LIT...

...they serve to remind one why the English statists demand Queen mummys and King daddys to represent the girth of their political maturation.
 
Best comment I heard today: "If Thatcher was such an important conservative, how come Sarah Palin never heard of her before 2008?"

One wonders whether Palin even knows who Winston Churchill was. As for Benjamin Disraeli, don't ask.

Back him up with Rodan and Mothra if you have to!
 
Thatcher wisely pointed out that liberals are far more interested in lessening the income gap than they are in helping the poor. And if you read most of the libs in here she's right.

Well, the Cold War is over; the GWOT is pretty much won; we're out of one of the two wars the last Pub POTUS got us into and slowly easing out of the other; same-sex marriage is on its way to national legalization, and pot has been legalized in three states; and we've got at least some real half-assed first-step effort at universal health care. Yeah, the U.S. is much better off now than it was in 1989.

Better now than in 1989, when we were unknowingly teetering on the brink of the S&L crisis that Reagan/Bush deregulation caused. The present economic picture is grim, but better than when Obama took office, and better than when Reagan left office, and almost certainly has no such surprises in store for us by this point, knock . . . plastic. (There once was such a thing as wood, I've heard . . .)

And FDR was the longest-serving POTUS ever. Suck on that.

North is good! Though Birmingham is a grey, depressing hellhole.

It was. It is much better than it used to be.

I had an office there in the 1970s and 80s. Going there was depressing and arriving at Birmingham New Street Station was a suitably awful introduction. The people were great. Their city centre surroundings were awful.

I visited Birmingham for a few days last year and enjoyed most of the culture, the Museum, the revived and cleaned up canals, the arts scene. Talking to Birmingham people is still great. They have a unique sense of humour, even the ethnic communities. At one point while driving my car I had to ask directions from a traditionally dressed Muslim man. He said "I'd normally give directions by the names of the Mosques. They're my landmarks. But for you? Turn right at that pub, go to the next..."

I didn't enjoy the Saturday night drunks - but Birmingham isn't unique in having too many of them.

As I said previously, I was 7 years-old at the time, so that sort of thing was beyond my ability to comprehend.

But I do recall a trip to Birmingham once....what a grey, dark place that was. Even the sky was grey the entire time we were there.

Make up your mind...you either remember people buying houses and cars and don't understand the hate for her, or you were 7 and don't remember anything

The movement from a production to a service economy and the housing bubble and crash are DIRECTLY attributable to Thatcher's policies.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Got any more knee slappers?



Some people just don't want to grow up. Notwithstanding that fact, they nevertheless refuse to accept adult supervision.
