What message does this send out about Yorkshire?. That you can sharehold a natural resource, import cheap coal from Poland and Australia, give an OBE to the xxxx union leader, make the world belive Yorkshire is in fact full of cloth caps and smack victims and obliterate the steel industry so we can import the stuff for pennys from India. And yes Mrs Thatcher may have given you the right to buy your own council house but thats no good when shes just made you redundant and stopped your benefits because you striked. Lets just leave all this stuff in the past or for Facebook eh?. |

Everyone as there opinions on this subject and a few folk on here know mine, but in honesty I'm getting sick of the coverage of it as there's more important things to worry about at this present time. |

I personally think that people should respect her death as I find it pathetic that people are celebrating her death, I was watching the News earlier today there were teenagers who said there glad she's dead..But they weren't around in the 1980's! There are more important News stories out there, Her funeral is done and people should move on. |

When I was watching news earlier I thought there are protesters younger than me and im 31, so would only have been 9 when she resigned. So how would they know who she was or what she had done. |

The evil that people do lives on...and in my book she was pure, unadulterated evil.

If you didn't live through it, you won't understand it. Personally, her policies made sure my parents were out of work for four long years and saw to one of my redundancies. Whilst dancing on her grave isn't in the best possible taste, I can see where people are coming from. 30 years might seem like a long time, but if your village has been lain waste for the sake of political dogma, it can take a couple of generations to see that anger through.

My partner is in his 50's, so he lived through it and understands it and he says the tool factory he was working in was prosperous when Margaret Thatcher was in charge, it was when Labour were in power that the factory was sold to an American company for £37.5 million who had shut it down within two years and he says you didn't get Labour MP's backing them up and offering them help like they did with the miners when their livelihood was threatened. He says not all thatcher's policies were good but she had a good anti euro stance and she thought up right to buy which quite a few hypocrites who hate her took advantage of and still take advantage of today. Those are the opinions of someone who lived through thatcher's rule not my personal opinions. I lived through tony blair(double glazing salesman)and his none existent weapons of mass destruction, gordon brown as chancellor which has resulted in the recession and current economic circumstances we are in and ed balls and Lady Vadera and the libor scandal. As a child I always thought I would vote Labour but my experiences of these in my teenage years and in my teenage years has really put me off. Maybe I ought to vote for Monster raving loony party   nothing can be worse than what we have had. |
