People who complain when thatcher is criticised or booed make no sense. She identified herself as a 'conviction' politician and the main (or only) support for thatcher from people (other than raving lunatic eugenics fans or public school boys) was that she was a 'conviction' politician. No more so than the luddite Angela merkel is. You only have to read up on monetarism and fractional banking to know there is no vision involved , its greed...
I remember people saying 'well at least she stood up for what she believed in '' but so did Adolf Hitler. This argument is often spouted by those who bought their Council houses during the thatcher years. But this is not conviction its bribery rather than a social contract . Its the colour of money, and she put more of it in the pockets of certain working class groups and entrepreneurs which was commendable but the way in which this was developed was not sustainable. So closing down cities in the north and in wales while other european countries protected industries was compensated for other groups being able to buy their own council house. But no new ones were built..
This, coupled with privatisaion has the consequence of trapping people in poverty and accept lower wages, Under the guise of personal liberty (for some) and free markets. It was an abuse of the system creating debt and boom and bust and control of citizens by fractional banking. People can now ask themselves why they are in debt. It was thanks to the policies of thatcher which were more or less the same as they implemented Under the clown Reagan.
Even blair tried and failed to pass himself as a 'conviction' politician. Blair like thatcher bows to Goldman Sachs and the big banks. Conviction? more like Obsession.
spot on. this brand of capitalism we have today was deliberately inflicted on us by maggie and ronnie who were obsessed with friedman and obsessed with making the rich richer and the poor poorer. scum of the earth
its capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich.
nearly all todays problems stem from the likes of her.
bitch
