Dear Mrs. Thatcher, my medical advice is for you to take a mud-bath, three times a week.

It won't do anything for your broken arm but at least your body can get used to the soil.

I nearly had the bunting out when I heard the news.

There is so much wrong today that can be attributed to that woman

Utility Bills - She sold the companies to shareholders

People - She taught ppl to tread on the next guy to beat him to the loaf

Naughty Materials - She allowed her husband to deal in all sorts of things that an MP would be struck off for.

Unions - She ensured the bloke you went to to get you a fair deal at work was crushed.

Tony Blair - She inspired him and I'll bet he's sent flowers.


Never mind about Gordon Clown, she sowed the seeds of modern horrible Britain.


You are number 2, I am not a number, I am a free man, hahahahahaha.

Also:-
She privatised the railways and bus companies.
Allowed building societies to demutralise;where are they now?
Watched over the decline of the UK's manufacturing base and encouraged the service sector.
Starved the NHS and state education of funds,whilst her supporters voted with their feet and went 'private'.
Lowered income tax for high earners which led to higher inflation for most of us.
Homes became commodities to trade in.

Not only but also-

Sold the masses the "dream" of being an home-owner, thereby breaking the workers "right to strike" by stealth. no more sympathetic councils letting you run up rent arrears (to be paid post action), just the threat of eviction from the banks and building societies. It also has had the long term effect of there being no LA social housing to rent for everyone caught up in the present crisis.

Allowed businesses to invest unlimited amounts abroad, thereby decimating Britain's industrial heartlands.

I could go on, but the big rubber rope attached to my driver's seat is pulling me back to work.

A truly wonderful woman :oops: But she did give us the beauty of our Country back! no more ugly slag heaps dotting the skyline, except her of course :lol:

I hate to say it, but when she pops her clogs they will probably have a national holiday down here :shock:

That's just standard, the opposition object but when they come to power they do nothing about the things they objected to :roll:

I don't see Labour backing their union buddies either.

what, you think this goverment is Labour?

The labour party decided in the Kinnock days that they would never rule with true Labour politics, the old regime had to go, Prescott hung on, god knows how

New Labour = Old Tory

the unions went along with it to get power at any cost, but they got a slap in the face

Kinnock struck gold moving over to the EU trough....

Never had a real job, never won an election....

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/ne ... nocks.html


Keep it the family?

Unnoticed and unannounced, an attractive young woman has quietly become the newest member of staff of firebrand MEP Glenys Kinnock. Her name: Rachel Kinnock.

So the family circle is now finally complete and the Kinnocks, led by Labour panjandrum and former Party leader Neil, can justifiably claim they are all aboard the Brussels gravy train.

Not so long ago, Neil and Glenys were arch critics of Europe. Not any more - now Lord and Lady Kinnock have more reason than most to thank the Euro dream because, in one way or another, the entire family is being financially supported by it.

While Baron Kinnock, 63 - who repeatedly criticised the House of Lords before accepting a peerage - is no longer an EU commissioner, he still enjoys the lavish fringe benefits.

His retirement package, which kicked in two years ago, will pay him more than £270,000 over three years. Then, at 65, he will be eligible for a £63,900-a-year EU pension.

As an MEP, Glenys earns £57,000 a year and can claim around £100,000 in expenses. And the couple's Cambridge-educated son Stephen, 35 - himself a father of two - gets a taxpayer-funded salary for his job with the British Council.

For most of his eight years with the body, he was based in Brussels, but last year was appointed director of the council in St Petersburg, where he and his family have a grace-and-favour apartment.

Stephen's wife Helle, an MEP and leader of Denmark's social democrats at Brussels, earns £40,000, as well as the same allowances as her mother-in-law.

Which brings us to 33-year-old Rachel. She had been working in the movie business - her husband Stuart Bentham is a film producer. The couple, who met as students at Bristol University, have two children and she is fitting her new job around her family commitments.


(source wikid-pedia, of course!)

They do not have to as they are all probably infiltrated with Gov people anyway - since when would trade unions sit back and say NOTHING about the expenses thieving, not even a murmur :shock: :sad:

That is why we are in a mess today, the wealth is more unevenly distributed than ever before and that is a big part of the reasons as to why we get so many recessions.

80% of wealth belongs to 20% of the population, always has been, always will be, if you think ANY goverment WANTS to change that (in our favour) your in cloud cuckoo land
