Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

3m,

When Stalin and Hitler died, some rejoiced and cheered, some mourned.

While wandering around Europe in the 90s came across a German mourning the death of Hitler and lighting a candle to iconic photograph of Hitler.

Surprised me, but to each, their own.

I think, the proposed "state" funeral, is another Cameron and con party stunt to divert attention to from his appalling failures and current policies he is forcing through.

Also, he attempting by use public money for party political purposes, to sway the party diminishing faithful, who are rapidly recognising him as a fraud and a failure, to stick with his sinking ship.

He is costing for the public approximately £10million to burn her, but at the same time denying “welfare support” for others who are in more need.

Thatcher was over hyped by the Murdock and right wing press, who relied on little Englanders' naivety to keep her and them in “power”.

I suggest you look at the policies she introduced to her "reign", the "rich" who she pandered to and fragmentation and atomisation of society she produced in the UK..

She was the driving force of mean, deplorable policies which eventually stuck in the throats of her own cabinet, who "killed" her off, and which in private rejoiced in doing so.

Hays,

Sometimes, in the past I thought your postings were interesting, although I disagreed with many of your stances, but your recent posting seem to show the zeal of the village idiot who shouts mindlessly on the village green at passing shadows.



GF.


Thank you for Postings 23252 and 23254.

One can seen the usual band of failures, feebly clinging to each other trying to support their delusions.

Of course there will be the usual denials from some, who prefer to scapegoat others for the results of their actions.

The tory party is still continuing with its attempts to con the public into believing that the “elitist looney right” with its few remaining few affiliates are fit to govern.

A state of denial.

I don't think Maggie was more of a racist than many others in that party, but just another deluded egocentric elitist.

Stan,

I hope the pub hasn't run dry.

Maggie voted No1 Prime Minister as UK gives verdict

More than a quarter of all those surveyed hailed her as Britain’s most popular PM since World War Two.

An overwhelming 28 per cent of people interviewed opted for Maggie as “the greatest” out of 13 Prime Ministers we have had since 1945.

She even eclipsed legendary Sir Winston Churchill, who came second in the poll. Churchill, who as well as being Britain’s wartime leader was also PM from 1951-55, won 24 per cent of support.

Afternoon Fred, the right are imploding here this morning.

Young chris(poor simple lad) has just had a right go at haystacks re- to haystacks bringing up Thatcher as a racist.

Cant do with racists, they make me sick and are dinosaurs of this earth.

Shocked me to find Maggie was a racist aimed at India of all places aswel, a lovely country with lovely people. (suppose this included Pakistan aswel)

Shame on her shame on her I say, the Lady should have been for turning, YES YES YES.

Fred weve been in your abscence debating wether Maggie should have such a high profile funeral with all that cost £ 10 million plus spent on it.

Big majority here so far against it.

Poor people having to take cuts and Camoron spending money like water.

I say NO NO NO.

As can be seen above the majority are in favour of a state funeral with a only 32% against. It is just the left loonies that are against it.

"...Cant do with racists, they make me sick and are dinosaurs of this earth." Which, based on many of Tanker's posts, includes him....BIG TIME!

I say NO NO NO to spending any money on funeral.

Cameron is the ignorant, putting his own agenda ahead of people. He wants to be respected/remembered when his time come. This will backfire, I believe.

MPs who attend will lose votes next time.

Harry have you got the evidence for this?. This thread has been turned into a thread where you have to give evidence to back up what you say. The right wing loons have brought this in.

How the coalition is repeating Thatcher's biggest mistake: the poll tax


Like the poll tax, the decision to cut council tax support by 10 per cent will force the poorest households to pay the local charge regardless of their income.
By George Eaton Published 10 April 2013 12:22

One of the unambiguous conclusions from the polling carried out since Margaret Thatcher's death is that her biggest mistake was the poll tax. Forty four per cent of those polled by YouGov for today's Sun select it as her greatest failure (more than for any other policy), while a Guardian/ICM survey found that 70 per cent believed it didn't work, compared to just 14 per cent who said it did (again, the worst rating received by any of her policies).

All of which makes it even more surprising that the coalition has chosen to effectively reintroduce it. The decision to cut council tax support by 10 per cent will force many of the poorest households to pay the monthly charge for the first time, regardless of their income. A report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that 1.9 million families who do not currently pay council tax will be billed an average of £140 a year, while an additional 150,000 low income families will pay an average of £300 more.

When the poll tax was introduced in 1989, the poor were at least assured that their benefits would rise with prices. But under George Osborne’s plan to uprate working-age benefits by 1 per cent for each of the next three years, rather than in line with inflation, their incomes will be squeezed to an unprecedented degree. Figures from the Institute for Fiscal Studies show that the average working family will lose £165 per year, while the average non-working family will lose £215. Confronted by these losses, which household will willingly pay hundreds of pounds in additional tax? Yet, for the sake of saving just £480m a year, the coalition intends to force councils to chase the poorest through the courts to recoup a charge they cannot afford to pay.

By devolving council tax support (Council Tax Benefit, which 5.9 million households receive, is currently administered by central government) and requiring local authorities to design their own schemes, ministers are hoping to avoid receiving the blame for the tax rises. Their luck may well hold. But more than any other austerity measure, "Poll Tax II" has the potential to cause a mass revolt.

Yes I have. When I get the time I will give you the numbers of all of the posts where he has been particularly vitriolic about immigrants and also about certain posters on these threads who originate from foreign lands and who have different religious backgrounds. Of course you could engage your memory, which seems to have selective loss and I sure you can recall various times where this has happened. In fact I think Tanker has been compared to Alf Garnet in the past on this board!

tyo spend tax payers money is a disgrace
OSBORNE AND CAMERON keep saying we need to reduce costs
to the tax payer and cut benefits they are taking the piss
cameron you are telling lies you should be called liar cameron
as a tory i am disgusted with useing tax payers money
if they want a big funeral then thetorys should pay for her funeral
not the very people she destroyed .

reducing the debt is now lies it is just to cut benefits which i do agree with
but to tell lies is evil cameron the next election the party will be wiped out

CC it is you that are THICK .
thatcher was a racist are you calling bob a liar
ask gumer if she was a racist

Harry.... dont have a go at me bud, dont get clever with me, what do you mean by this....

Of course you could engage your memory, which seems to have selective loss and I sure you can recall various times where this has happened

I will give my views HARRY i want out of the EU i want migrants out and i want all
illegals rounded up and removed and fcuk human rights only criminals use human rights if i vote for a government
I WANT THAT GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL THE COUNTRY NOT THE SHIT FROM THE EU

HOPE THAT HELPS
STOP ALL NHS BENEFITS FOR MIGRANTS AND SEND THEM HOME FOR TREATMENT
IF YOU GO TO SPAIN ON HOLS THE DOCTOR WANTS YOUR CASH OR HE WILL NOT ATTEND TO YOU FACT NOT FICTION
CLOSE OUR BORDERS AND DEPORT ALL THESE PARASITES

I'm a tax payer and I'm very happy to be contributing to this funeral. I didn't support the war in Iraq, but I didn't have a choice about whether or not I wanted £billions spent on that. If we are going to discuss the amount of money squandered by various political parties then bombing Iraq into total rubble most be close to top of the list. Not to mention the waste of lives in the process.

DB just hold on a second. Surely Dennis who was a MULTI milionaire could pay the £10 million???

Wont this government look plonkers if 2 months after the funeral the estate she leaves is way way north of £10 million.

Tanks, round about page 962 you are ranting about this government being 50% gay and therefore completely incompetent and therefore recommending UKIP.

But yes, your post #23318 kinda sums it all up, but that raises an issue, much debated on here, as to who is exactly an immigrant, 'cos many many people have been living here for a long time, but are of mixed race/nationality. (Born in Manchester but from Irish / American parents.......Out? Or is the colour of their skin acceptable?)

db that is your choice as i have said the tory party should pay for it not
labour voters who hated her .
why are these greedy MPs going claim the pay for today that about sums up the tory party grredy grabbing i am all right and fcuk the workers
