![]() Burnham thinks the time is not yet right, but if Corbyn can from nowhere get so much support then why not a Tower Hamlets Totty? |

Burnham has apologised for his comment and said if a sex change is what is required to win the Leadership then he will be your wo-man. |

RJD - Does she swing a good handbag, like Maggie did? Does she keep a copy of the thoughts of Friedman in it? |

I suspect Burnham was ( in his own mind) referring to the present female candidates. Of course Yvette Cooper jumped in claimed 1+1 =3. |

Her husband taught her that, btw, has anyone heard from ballsup lately, he has been quieter than the moron, perhaps he is frightened of jeapordising Yvettes chances by opening his gob and making a fool of himself as usual, more likely that she has TOLD him to keep schtum.

When you look at the shambles of this leadership election, the expression of not being able to organise a piss up in a brewery comes to mind. TYhis is tha party that wants to run the country, when they cannot run an election for the leadership properly. |

Well unbelievably some people actually fancied the manly big bollocks Thatcher. It seems that at least one person actually had sex with it while many of her supporters just had wet dreams.

Tytoalba - Ah, 'piss up in a brewery' - cue my memory. I remember my father coming back off a visit {military and social] to Denmark, and telling me of the great time he and his troops had during a sort of 'lock in' at the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen. All on the house, and as much as you could carry to your little wooden bed afterwards. My father swears the timing had been arranged by the Danish Signals unit they played a game of football against the next day! It was a bit of a walk over for the Danes - no surprise.

Funny that she rates so highly in the poll of "who was the best PM since WW2". Thatcher's success was to kill the Socialist idea, she destroyed all Labour opponents in the Commons and won the arguments, but it is not yet fully dead just comatose. |

We see a lot of ''Marmite' attitudes on this board. Thatcher changed the country for the better and has made us all better off in the longer term. IMO You have to have lived through what went before to understand the need for her policies and the improvements she made in industrial relations. A look at graphs on strikes and days lost before and after tells its own story. |

The damage she did to the country by selling off the profitable nationalised industries and privatising other industries that are now owned or partially owned by foreign companies or governments is a nonsense that a Labour government would have been castigated for decades for doing. Creating an economy where the rich got richer and the poor got poorer and where the NHS and state schools were badly neglected, did damage to society as a whole as well as damaging millions of families. The final insult was added to injury when even those she damaged had to help pay for her funeral. Misleading and deceptive propaganda protected Thatcher by hiding the full picture. It did back then, and still does to this day. It's something people like yourself actually help to feed. |

Such graphs would certainly tell a story, but they would NOT tell the full story. Incidentally I agree that Thatcher inherited a bad situation and I for one am glad she outlawed wild cat strikes. Unfortunately her right-wing ideological approach missed a great opportunity to put the UK on a really good path, and has ended up doing a lot of damage to the UK. Putting so many of our eggs into the financial services basket could be said to have laid down the foundations for our susceptibility to the international financial meltdown. |

As opposed to organising a party for perverted child molesters? Having a talent for those escapades aided and abetted by both civil and government authority to keep the participants anonymity should not be considered as a plus for governance. |

Probably, we know that those on the left revile her as she destroyed their dreams. They even believe today that a few pints of warm tea and some sandwiches would have encouraged the Trade Union Bosses to see good sense. Sunny Jim tried and he was a nice chap, but he failed so the country had to turn to someone with big gonads. The post WW2 advantage was p155ed away by wannabe Marxists who would do anything to see the State fail, they nearly succeeded. |

She is not nasty, and Labour are the Loony Party not the Nasty Party. The Tories are the Nasty Party, thank goodness as we cannot have a Gov. who thinks it is Christmas every day. They need to get a lot nastier in order to sort out the mess. |

But did you work? If you did then reveal what you were engaged with? Were you a Printer? Or perhaps you were one of those that padded out the ranks of the much overmanned nationalised industries? Did Thatcher shake up your cosy existence and galvanise Managers to demand a fair days work for a fair days pay? |

I once had the image of Thatcher enamelled onto the back of some urinals to save some cleaners a bit of work, I believe in the end those very same cleaners were made redundant due the lack of work with the changes we brought in! |

There was another woman who wanted to do something about the Union, and that was Barbara Castle, with her proposals od "in place of strife" but that was turned down by the Labour leadership, Thatcher did what was proposed with the consequence that the left blamed her for doing what needed to be done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Place_of_Strife |
