I don't get it! Double standards on AH!!!!

Margaret Thatcher was mates with, and an apologist for, this man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Pinochet Therefore, fuk Thatcher. Oh and anyone who sings her praises - how attention-seeking interesting of you to go against the grain like that... And yes, the fact you're Irish makes a difference - how betrayed would nationalists in the North feel... But going all Conor Cruise O'Brien seems to have been "in" in Ireland for quite a while now. I appreciate Thatcher had the kind of economic vision, elements of which might help Ireland get out of its current bind, but seriously, you know she's a ****... pretending otherwise might be all controversial and different of you but it doesn't take away from that fact.

Putting 3,000,000 people out of work makes no economic sense, particularly as you have to pay them social welfare! Selling off nationalised industries and essential services didn´t improve them. Raising interest rates to a level where good business´s couldn´t afford to borrow (constriction policy) so only the most efficient survive was a horrible experiment. A tw4t like her would have out of the eurozone in a flash, waving the flag like North Korean lemmings, creating a fabric where only the fittest prosper.
