Margaret Thatcher's Britain

[N.O.R.F]

I wasn't a fan but I wasn't against her either. I was too young to understand what was going on anyway. In those days there were government owned telecom, water, electricity, gas, train, bus, plane companies and getting on a bus for an adult cost just 2 pence. On the other hand the influx of Somalis into the UK and the sympathetic nature of the then government were under her watch.

 

One fact I gleaned today is that up until 1986, foreign ownership of UK companies wasn't allowed.

[N.O.R.F]

Howe, Hurd and Heseltine.

 

In terms of the UK she opened a class war. The haves benefited from privatisations while the have nots relied on social security.

^^ They didn't have a minutes silence for her in last night's game. Nobody in the football liked her.

[N.O.R.F]

She called football fans hooligans dee. Apparently there were street parties in Brixton and Glasgow.

[NGONGE]

^^ There will be more in the coming days. I expect the Liverpool fans to sing their song about having a party when Maggie dies.

[N.O.R.F]

^True. Some of my friends' parents lost their jobs at the steel factories after privatisation.

 

Ngonge, they will be singing that song in April. Very fitting.

This thread is about a dead witch not SNM. Some people will use any opportunity

[NGONGE]

^^ If the president of Peru dies tomorrow, I doubt many in the site would care (well apart from me) unless, of course, Peru had or did something that concerns them. The guru does not want to badmouth Mrs T because of what he believes she did for the SNM. A valid point.

 

p.s.

 

Did she ever visit Somalia in her 13 year rule? (where are the picture lovers?).

[Cambuulo iyo bun]

A valid point huh? Would it still be valid if you weren't of the same view? Wa maya

[N.O.R.F]

Oody, her government's friendly nature towards Somalis didn't stop most voting labour in '97. But Labour through Blair then carried on with her policies (they probably didn't have a choice). They should have at least put something in place to curtail these utility companies who have a license to charge what they want.

[NGONGE]

^^ Err..more Somalis entered the UK during the Blair years than the entire tory reign, saaxib.

It would. Which is why I asked you if she ever visited Somalia.

 

People always look at the angle that concerns them in a story. In mine, and when talking about Thatcher, I mentioned my addictive hobby and how Thatcher had almost destroyed British Football. The guru went at from an SL angle.

 

You called her a witch, what annoyed you about her?

[Cambuulo iyo bun]

That's what everyone is calling her dee. She never did anything to me but I'm going with the prevailing consensus.

 

PS: plus the rhyme is very good: ding dong, the witch is dead.....

^^ There you go. Happy now?

More Somalis entered after 97 than before? Doubt that Ngonge.

Siilaanyo must declare wednesday next week a national holiday to honour Baroness Thatcher.
