Recall someone did a pretty good dub/mix of some of her speeches a few years ago, you know how the left loves a good bit of domination/flagellation/sharp heel on the spine and she was that personified.

This obseesion with Mrs T in the Labour supporting media is a New Labour tactic to try to rally their crumbling core vote with memories of the hated Thatcher.
A sure sign of desperation on Brown's part but expect lot's more of this in the run up to May.
Did anyone, like myself, seriously toy with the idea of what it would be like to give her one? I reckon, at her prime, say between 1982-86, she'd have been a top shag. Especially if she'd have been prepared to look back at you over her shoulder as you were giving her one up the cat flap. It's a scenario Mrs Street and I often imagine, her as Thatch, me as Sir Alan Walters.

Music was better in the 1980's something you could dance to not like all this guitar caterwauling. Porsches were better, big fins and noisy exhausts Women had big hair short skirts and high heels not skinny jeans. Houses were cheaper taxes lower, although drugs were more expensive. Handguns were legal and Gerry Adams was a pariah , and we regularly used to tag the odd paddy (no offence Guido) Imagine cecil parkinson or Alan Clark banging on about co2 emissions, plenty of banging and plenty of emissions but it had fuck all to do with the environment.

Tory Gay Boy was most proud to be out and about last summer in his Lady T, in the style of Che Guevara, t-shirt purchased from his good friends at 'any old icon'.
In fact, Tory Gay Boy was so proud he popped into the Prowler Store in Soho (to purchase some postcards of the late and much missed Queen Mother).
The Nancy Boy behind the counter became most excited at the sight of Tory Gay Boy's t-shirt and in fact went so far as to compliment him upon it!

Music was better in the 1980's
something you could dance to not like all this guitar caterwauling.
Porsches were better, big fins and noisy exhausts
Women had big hair short skirts and high heels not skinny jeans.
Houses were cheaper taxes lower, although drugs were more expensive.
Handguns were legal and Gerry Adams was a pariah , and we regularly used to tag the odd paddy (no offence Guido)
Imagine cecil parkinson or Alan Clark banging on about co2 emissions, plenty of banging and plenty of emissions but it had fuck all to do with the environment.
I for one will shed a tear when the great lady passes on.
Go to Red Molotov for a cool Che Thatcher T-Shirt.
I wear mine in bed. The Ladies love it.

I take it you pull it over your head disciple?
Or do you use it to mop up the damp patch?
"Funny that, isn't it. Somehow Thatcher ended up having to battle against a total no-hoper for the top spot. I suppose you think that was an accident?"
Care to offer an alternative explanation?
This thread reminds me of the hoary old one:
Q. "What's the Thatcher legend?"
A. "A c**t with the characteristics of a great white shark!"
The fallacy in this NuLab ploy, if it exists, is that many of those who weren't too sure about her in the 1980s (I voted for Foot in '83) are now absolutely convinced that she was right all along. 'Thacherite' and 'Churchillian' go together like Moët & Chandon.
All hail Maggie, our greatest Prime Minister ever!
Guido - here I am - no longer an 'anonymong' as you so kindly call me.
I challenge you to a 'walk-off'.
Place - Hoxton Square
Time 8pm
Dress code: You in a maggie tee, me in a Guido tee, - they are selling them for 4.99 on Brick Lane.
P.s. I am afraid to break it to you but 40 is hardly spring chicken.
Say what you like about Margaret Thatcher,she was a patriot first and foremost. Highly unlikely that anyone will ever say that about this bunch of self serving arseholes that we are about to get rid of.
ps: anyone else having problems with the word verifcation not working?
Beat you to it Guido. Wore my Thatcher tshirt to a party around Hoxton Square a few months back. The trend has already been started. That is all.
I think the past is better viewed with rose tinted specs, you only see what you remember , Maggie a good badie , put her on stage now and she would creme these toerags.
Maggie maggie maggie yeh yeh yeh
Maggie would have wiped the floor with a huge number of the current bunch, both Labour and Tory. At least the Tories managed to win seats in the North under her leadership, but then she had something to say, unlike Cameroony's Style Council.

Oh dearie dearie me. Let's hear it for Spandau Hitch, the new romantic, or Billy Hitchel, the piano man, or Macca Hitch yodelling Ebony and Ivory with his Bro.
1980s music - Now that's what I call crap.
I won't buy Poundland cd's with 80s music on ugh.
"1980s music - Now that's what I call crap."
Clearly you were not a fan of the heavy metal scene.
Ah, in that case
"Tramp the Dirt Down" by Elvis Costello...
hahahaha
Before any business meeting I always like to get ready by playing "eye of the tiger" to myself , then I swagger in ready for the kill.
Dear god, please! Thatcher cool? She started the "screw everybody else, just look at how much money i can make" attitude, her friends were dictators who killed thousands of their own people, and don't start me on her son! How can this become cool? May the bitch die as painful a death as she inflicted directly & indirectly on others.
There, had my rant, feel better.
If it's Costello, carl, it's gotta be "Watching the Detectives", surely.....
anonymong, 6.28
You poor deluded leftie jellyfish.
Thatcher may have made mistakes, but she was a patriot, not like that snivelling little traitor Blair.
"she was a patriot, not like that
snivelling little traitor Blair."
So, of these two scoundrels, patriotism was her last refuge and his first?
Idle 6.33. I'm not a leftie or a rightie, Thatcher was morally corupt but not a crook, unlike Blair. However, tell me what bit is inaccurate and I'll take it back.
"Tony Blair and Lembit Opik have been meeting Shipa Shetty"
I always thought that Sheep a shitty were constituents of Winshester?
This Tory Gay Boy just loves Margot (as he wouldn't dare call her, well not to her face anyway).
Tory Gay Boy was most proud to be out and about last summer in his Lady T, in the style of Che Guevara, t-shirt purchased from his good friends at 'any old icon'.
In fact, Tory Gay Boy was so proud he popped into the Prowler Store in Soho (to purchase some postcards of the late and much missed Queen Mother).
The Nancy Boy behind the counter became most excited at the sight of Tory Gay Boy's t-shirt and in fact went so far as to compliment him upon it!
"Dear god, please! Thatcher cool? She started the "screw everybody else, just look at how much money i can make" attitude"
Better that than the "I'm entitled to your money because you have more than me" attitude.
"She started the "screw everybody else, just look at how much money i can make" attitude""
This attitude started with the invention of money. What else is it for?
Imagine what Britain would be like if James Callaghan had won the 79 election.
Imagine what Britain would be like if Tony Blair had won the 97, 01 and 05 elections.
However, tell me what bit is inaccurate and I'll take it back.
If you had listed some facts rather than a teenage lefty opinion, there might be an argument to be had about accuracy.
The real screw everyone else attitude belongs to socialism.
The good Lady was not morally corrupt. She was given a hospital pass on the economy and had to find a way to get Britain going forward again. This she achieved, in spades. If you think her relationship with Pinochet makes her morally corrupt, you don't know the history of the Falklands War.
she was.............
I believe Martha Stout has replaced Margaret naked on a cold day.
"mrs thatcher did something good like smashing the NUM" - are you mad? these were ordinary young men mostly, supported by a great deal of the country. what a very misguided twat. go pay a visit to the ex mining towns now and see what joy "smashing the NUM" brought
