It’s been another week of “I blame Margaret Thatcher” up here in the actual anus of the UK, the Tory-free backward-thinking North-West.
Apparently, Mrs Thatcher, who stopped being a Prime Minister in 1990, that’s 21 years ago folks, is still to blame for all the riots and the looting and the unemployment and the evils of the country. Thatcher, at her most effective over 25 years ago, is still to blame for it all. Amazing.

Yep, it must have been her that imported the way of the escalatingly out of control American gang culture over here, changed our street and school language, popularised and idolised the gun and the knife and drip fed the idea that you can take take take what you want when you want with no consequence, and without a care if there are victims.
It was probably her that stripped the Courts of their powers to give proper sentences that might actually mean something.
She was to blame for the changing of our society in the 1990s into one that forgets or prosecutes the victim whilst rewarding and protecting the criminal.
I blame Thatcher for the removing from teaching staff of any powers to get and hold order and attention in the classroom, and making parents fear trying to discipline or control their children.
Yep, definitely she was the one that taught the kids to get pregnant and scream and stamp until given a nice free house, complete with free heating and lighting, all paid for by those that actually work so the self-centred inhabitants don’t have to.
It was definitely Thatcher who in the Blair/Brown years sold all our assets, especially loads of our gold, maxed out the credit cards, and bowed down to the pressures of the politically correct middle class bleeding-heart liberal do-gooders who infected society and made up the majority of those who hand down the pointless and out-dated ineffective rules and laws from the European Union.
Oh, hang on, no it wasn’t.
It was Blair and Brown wot dunnit!
Thatcher came to power in 1979 after decades of the rule and control of society through the climate of fear that was controlled by the Unions and their mainly Northern bullies and thugs who, with exactly the same selfish arrogance and disinterest in right and wrong as the recent rioters, thought there was nothing wrong with dropping paving slabs onto workers to kill them rather than allow them to go in to work.
It was in the 1970s that these thugs brought everything to a halt by starving the country of electricity, forcing rolling black-outs and the complete destruction of industry. Their pre-Thatcher 1970s thuggery was identical to that we experienced from the 2011 rioters and looters. They both did it because they could, it was a laugh, and they knew there would be no consequences.
They didn’t like it when Thatcher came to power and made sure that their actions did have consequences. That’s why they still moan about Thatcher and blame her for everything 25 years later. Bullies always want to get back at those who have stood up to them and said no.
The rioters and looters will be moaning in exactly the same way in 25 years from now, some will be blaming Cameron, but you know who they’ll mainly be blaming, don’t you? Yep, Margaret Thatcher.
Hey, what’s the betting the morons up here in the North-West, most of whom conspired to kill off their manufacturing industry in the 1970s, will even blame Margaret Thatcher for David Cameron!
England's England 
the dole and benefits culture that has been passed to a new generation by workshy parents thinking the world owes them a living has a lot to do with it. until we teach the new generation to get out of bed and make their own living this will always happen. the influx of immigrants to this country on free handouts while our own sick and needy are scrutinised beyond belief also has a part blame. and without being a do gooder I can't see the point in criminalising the kids that took part in the unrest, (because they weren't riots)agreed they need punishment but let the punishment be some sort of giving back to the areas affected. and before anyone asks Yes I am a Scouser and proud of my city.

Why do people who are in the unfortunate position of being jobless take all the blame for the woes of our society? I don't doubt there is people that abuse the system and work full time while still claiming dole, but in my experience of people being unemployed, most people claiming jobseekers allowance actually want to work. Christopher I disagree with you totally about the miners/power working strike in the earl 1970s, which brought black outs, i wouldn't want to be in a black hole a mile underground for 1 minute never mind 40 hours a week. The miners, steel workers,ship builders all heavy industry workers have my total and utter respect, as this was real work, hard graft and horrible dangerous conditions. The miners strike in 1984/85 was like a war without guns, the police were “used” by the government as a hired “fighting army” against the striking miners, who were striking for their livelyhoods not increases in wages. Ok i accept the unions once had too much power, but by the end of 1985 they had very very little, as the working mans rights were decimated, by the Iron Lady.
