A phrase I heard this mornig,,,We have a generation now, of Thatchers children???

[Bobbisox]

I wonder, did the Iron Lady instill in them greed and a non-caring attitude?
She was very much in favour of Yuppiness as I recall, maybe she didn't
what's your thoughts on Mrs Ts legacy?

[charmer73]

sarah palin wants to come to england and have tea with maggie thatcher, i would like to be a fly on that wall, they are both ga_ga would be interesting?no♥♥♥

[Sqad]

Bobbi....;-) indeed I did notice.

Rasman.."revered" on AB is a dubious title, it means"one man´s meat is another man´s poison".......................an obvious target for the "knockers" who if given the chance....will take it.

A bit like life wouldn´t you say?

[Bobbisox]

I am and never have been a fan of hers, that said, she was a strong woman who I had a grudgingly admiration for ;0)

[Bobbisox]

does SP base herself on Maggie charmer?

[mike11111]

I am, and always have been a fan of hers, if for no other reason than she was not Ted Heath, whom I loathed to distraction. It is history now, but if you want to understand the rise of Thatcher, study Heath.

[Rasman]

dunno sqad, I used the word 'revered' with it's dictionary meaning.
Not sure what your seeing.

[Bobbisox]

Now Mike, oddly enough I like old Ted

[Bobbisox]

<liked>

[Sqad]

Rasman:

<<<To regard with reverence, or profound respect and affection,
mingled with awe or fear; to venerate; to reverence; to honor
in estimation.<<

That is what I am seeing........my answer remains "unaltered" re. AB

[mike11111]

Really, Bobbi? Humorless, obstinate, single-minded (Europe first and stuff Britain), petty-minded, curmudgeonly - these are the kindest things I can think to say about him.

[Sqad]

mike......yeah! but he was a Grammar School boy ;-)

[Rasman]

Yes you are sqad, so whats the issue?
Can't take a little knock?

[Bobbisox]

this is why debate is good for the soul Mike, opposing views, Bill is of the same opinion as yourself so theres never a dull moment in Whickham,,LOL

[anneasquith]

my thoughts on mrs. t legacy? autocratic, power hungry. POLL TAX,

[Sqad]

Rasman....."taking a little knock" is par for the course on AB ;-)

I think that we could be at cross purposes here.

[Rasman]

Anyway, off topic so I'll shut up now

[Bobbisox]

thats how I "fondly" see her as too anne

[jackthehat]

The poll-tax was an excellent idea............the implementation, however, was dire.
