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 23 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 30 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!

Hi Chris,
In one of these Thatcher threads ' Mr Anon ' is getting angry with you.
You may know that I spent all of my working life in the Motor Industry, initially in a factory that made fuel systems for the UK motor manufacturers. We were based just outside of London. My work colleague was an ambitious young guy called Ron Jesson, if he is still alive he will be a very old man now.
But Ron really wanted to ' get on ' so he moved to Southport and took a new job with Triumph Cars at Speke, supervising the carburettor installations on the TR7 sports car.
Soon after.he called me in a state of total shock.
He said that he was experiencing hostility from his new colleagues since he was working ' too hard '. He said that theft was rife and almost regarded as a normal perk.
The work force existed in a state of sullen anger with go slow's, work to rule and strikes happening at the drop of a hat.
He said that if the local football team lost, that on Monday there would be mass absenteeism and acts of deliberate sabotage.
The ultimate weapon used by the production line staff if they felt like bringing the factory to a halt, was to deliberately tip a car ' off the track '.
My Pal was rather stuck as he had moved his family to Liverpool, so he kept his head down and behaved like the others who in his view did not want to build cars at all.
TR7 production moved to the Midlands at some point but not in time to rescue the poor reputation of the vehicle.
I am sure that when the thieving saboteurs all lost their jobs, they looked for someone to blame i.e. anyone but themselves.
Nothing much changes up there does it.

Hatred spreads hatred. I am glad you brought up the fact about the strikers killing each other at the picket lines. I was a child then but remember it all in the news. I had parents that paid attention to what was going on but sadly many of my friends were left clueless and still are today. I am appalled at the remarks on internet social networking sites and in the newspapers in Britain at the attitude towards Margaret Thatcher and especially the encouragement of making a certain song a number one hit. It just makes the British look like a load of ignorant thugs to the rest of the world. Shame on them!
