    +1. I know plenty of working class people who stood up to Gerry Adams , and who emigrated to England in the 1980's and who got work there and were treated fairly and well there. Shame on Gerry Adams, but then again what do you expect from a pig but a grunt?

    ahhhh it must be awful to live with such bitterness inside you. :D:D

    Yep, the way a vast amount of the wealth of Britain is concentrated in the services industry in the South East is an illusion.

    It would be cruel to tell her that if she were alive and if it were undeserved.

    Whether or not it is deserved is a personal opinion but I think it accurately represents a large portion of those who were affected by her politics.

    No one, alive or dead, deserves to have someone wish that their grave be used as a toilet.

    To be cool and dispassionate about the rights and wrongs of that in terms of her deserving/not deserving it is wrong.

    Lets be realistic here; there are plenty of people, dead and alive, that deserve a lot worse.

    Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first female PM, dead at 87. A spokesperson has said she will also go down in history as the first person to have the 21 gun salute aimed at the coffin.

    If true, they were probably as surprised to be killed as the people they were going to murder would have been.

    You are an absolute scumbag. I've seen footage of that, and it really shows your mentality for what it is. Absolute knacker.

    "ooh i'm british and the IRA were murdering scum who got what they deserved!"

    That makes no sense. Repeating it does not make any more sense. You are trying to argue that Thatcher - who never cared what anybody thought about what she thought was required - suddenly decided she needed to appear like a fan of Nationalism in Ireland? :confused:

    perfectly well with most right minded people, as it stopped them blowing up an army base.

    my fúcking god, why wouldn't we be happy with it? scumbags dead, lives saved. happy days. the IRA always claimed it was a war, the british army should have treated it as one more often and wiped the lot of them out.

    Yes. Wasn't there a war on at the time?

    The Movie shows the public and private life of Maggie Thatcher and all her idiosyncrasy's . You don't have to be a fan but as a historical figure I think Streep did a great job on her .

    I lived in the six counties in the late 70,s/80,s and saw what thatchers hypocritical approach did to the nationalist community, As a recruiter for the Provisionals she was as good as Ian paisley a decade before, but I was brought up better than to rejoice in the death of anyone, friend or foe.

    So I will leave you all to it.
