The industry’s thatcher demolished were inefficient and subsidised by the tax payer, they were dead socialist commodity’s! she privatised them and the reason they did not thrive is because in Britain they were not able to be competitive, even under massive deregulation (This is proof British tax payers were not get value for there money before her actions) Your welcome to say what she did was not the best way to achieve the ends, but saying something did not need doing and her successfully turning around the economy was not a great achievement, is just ridiculous! And of course poll tax was unpopular! but she wanted everyone to have a equal equity stake in the country because all, and everyones productivity matters! Plus, all levels of income and living standards were better at that time, a direct result of her other policy’s and the poll tax was the way to drive the country further still.... she was a legend, she economically achieved more and did more good than any politician has since before WW1.... unpopular but needed! The alternative policy’s have proved 10 fold not to work!
When the British royal family goes black, it is time to get rid of royalty; better still, to leave the UK forever more. Diversity is our strength - no it is not.
According to stats, 50% of everything we see as British such as Heathrow airport, railways, ports, boots, Waterstones (bookshop) are now foreign owned. The thatcher government made it easy for foreign take overs of not just British companies with a wealth of knowledge and expertise but also national assets.. where as foregin take overs are common else where, there are rules.. for example in Germany they ban foreign takeovers of allot of technology & engineering companies etc to keep the knowledge in the country.. Britian sells all its best innovation startups to forigners because they’re forced to by some hedge fund in London.. these very situations are a legacy of thatchers policies..why the hell are we forced sell our valuable knowledge and expertise to foregieners to keep city financial firms happy? Remember there are rules allowing firms in the city to to just this!! there is somthing called national interest.. rules like other places should exist to protect our own... jobs, pride, social fabric.. Britian has become a dimmed down, minimum wage, skill less nation with a very rich capital because of the Tories.. the tories created cooperate London which has destroyed our nation and made us all slaves to foreign firms who do not share the passion we do for Britian.. we need strong leaders to change this now! Brexit or not.. we need good leaders that will make us proud again... we can’t keep letting cooperate London destroy us, we can’t keep letting foreigners buy out our country and take jobs away and not paying Uk tax... We earn more tax by making a money ourselves than for a rich foreigner to buy a London property.. this is why there are cuts.. the government has created a very friendly buisness climate for the rich, so they can avoid allot of tax.. who suffers?? Us!! I’m not racist.. I think multicultural societies are good.. but don’t sell our nation off.. let the nation be owned and run by us Brits.. white black or whatever.. as long as we hand on heart are proud of being British.. we will make the nation grow and provide jobs to people.. give us a chance.. stop letting only rich foreigners and London finance make money!
Best part of thatchers career was when howe ended her career, when she walked out of downing street crying.that was a moment to savour,maybe a tiny bit of justice for all the misery she had inflicted on working people.
She killed off industries that were arguably dying a death; industries that were propped up by huge, unsustainable subsidies, that couldn't compete against increasing foreign competition. Those whose livelihoods were intertwined with such industries have fair reason to despise her, but to suggest she "destroyed Britain" is only half true. The other half prospered under her leadership and this continued, perhaps even more so, under Blair's New Labour. Rather than incentivise "northerners" to head south to reap the rewards, the large majority of new jobs created were filled by immigrants. This cycle has continued ever since and is arguably the #1 reason why people voted for Brexit. As a nation that will need to compete with the EU, once out, I am somewhat cynical how things will improve wholesale "up north". But I remain hopeful.

I love George in his role opposing the US and the worlds modern political corruption but I was also there, back in 1984-85, a young steel worker, when the unions were dragging the country down the drain. The abuse of power by the gobshite union leaders and stewards was sickening to behold. Arthur Scargill had only one aim, to be the man that brought down the Tory government. He had not an iota of genuine compassion for his striking minors. He was on full pay for the whole period of the strike and then accepted life presidency of the miners union despite it's flagrant undemocratic nature. I reluctantly walked out of the gates on a number of occasions when loud mouthed bully boy shop stewards cajoled and intimidated workers into strike action for the most shamefully, pathetic "reasons". Margaret Thatcher was the foul tasting medicine that saved the country from economic suicide. The pole tax was a doomed attempt to persuade the electorate to take more personal responsibility. There was already a tiered income tax system that had the bigger earners paying the most tax. The simplistic view that most people have of that whole period, especially people who weren't even born then, exasperates me. There were many complex issues at play. One of these was that Labour held constituencies were deliberately overspending their budgets as a means of political retaliation through self sabotage. The idea of a pole tax was partly in response to that. I could go on forever. Margaret Thatcher was very strong, hard working, highly intelligent and decent human being. Her time in power was too long. She became corrupted and had to be removed from power, which is a shame. But she does not deserve the hatred that many, many people have for her. Even people in other countries. Her reputation world wide is one of a monster. Not true George. I was there!
You speak the absolute truth.Without Thatcher the puppet Labour government that the Unions owned and paid for would have brought about a far left economic armageddon that we would never have emerged from.Thatcher was the saviour of modern Britian.The real evil was the corrupt hypocrite Scargill and the other bullying Union Czars singing the red flag.The comments on here are by people as hate filled as Galloway without a clue as to the depth of shit Britian was in caused by a Labour Government and their corrupt paymasters.A prime minister for eleven years tells you how actually popular she was.Galloway is a bitter old man thankfully booted off talkradio for his disgusting diatribes.
Would you ever shut the fuck up about Hillsborough. Liverpool hooligans were ultimately to blame just as they were at Hysel where they killed 39 juventas supporters. The real coverup is that the media never talk about this anymore.
yes i was there a 21 year old lad, paid off after his apprenticeship. i felt her policies, i felt her actions, i heard her insults "moaning minnies and Tebbits "get on your bike speech" i witnessed the hideous arrogance of the big business cheering her, and her heartless government, to destroy trade union representation in the workplace, and once again create a working class slave society Margaret Thatcher did one good thing, she gave me a social concience forever by showing what it is like not to have one
Tragically, she got away with destroying the entire country and Britain has not recovered from that wholesale destruction of the economy and the country's social fabric.

(a) the coal was too expensive (and too deep) to mine economically and that's before you consider the dash-for-gas which was happening right across the western world.I could also add the previous labour administrations who closed down loads of coal mines but they were labour so that doesn't count I guess (b) the automotive industry was a joke - unions & poor management in the late 1960's onwards help create some of the most useless cars in the world - luckily that all changed under foreign ownership in the 1980's (c) the ship building industry was outdated, poorly run, over unionized and complete swallowed whole by the south Koreans - quite how Thatcher was responsible for that is anyone's guess (d) the poll tax did not get rid of Thatcher it was Tory divisions over Europe, MPs worried about their seats and an economy heading for recession - if the poll tax was an issue why did (e) Thatcher also cried when her son Mark was lost in the Sahara desert in Paris-dakar rally in the early 1980's (f) Markel is half cast not black as her father is white (g) Galloway at the royal wedding? How times have changed (h) Gordon Brown doesn't do interviews for a book - that's because he knows his time as an MP was a complete embarrassment ! Other than that George is pretty much spot on ! LOL x
I'm Irish, but I would know a lot about England back in the 80's. She did dismantle Britain, it could have been saved, by sitting down with the unions, instead, with her to ' hell with working class people' attitude and her hatred for all things Liverpool ( Working Class city) you get my drift! She is solely responsible for her dirty deals with her Ronald Reaganomic style policies of deregulation of Englands industries, then heading out foreign. The was when the real rot set in, not the 60's nor the 70's. We were still getting superb cars from England in the late 70's, early 80s and top quality Sheffield Steel cutlery. Don't get me started on her treatment of the North of Ireland. She was pro apartheid as well. Nothing good about her.
@@michealkelliher8428 I would agree with pretty much all of what you've typed - I'm no cheerleader for her but blaming all the shortcomings of the 1980's as people like Galloway does isn't helpful or even accurate. As far as northern Ireland is concerned I would have let the United nations sort out the pointless sectarian blood letting or even better have left back in 1921
I remember first seeing this guy when I was a teenager and thinking oh cool this guy gets it, and within 2 years I realised how embarrassing it is to think this guy actually says anything of value
Ah right we were supposed to dig coal pointlessly when no one wants it. Why dont we get people digging a massive hole in a field then fill it in at the end of the day, repeat Monday to Friday and that's employment sorted
You should look up the 1988 Scottish Cup Final Dundee UTD v Celtic she had to be introduced to teams under the stand at Hampden then when she went to the royal box both the Dundee & Celtic fans all showed her red cards.
Indeed, she was - for the usurers and speculators in the City of London, for landlords and property developers, and for wealthy landowners. Not so good for everybody else, on the other hand.
Sorry George you are wrong. During the miner's strike Scargill and his lot would not allow the engineers in to keep the pumps running to stop the mines from flooding. Cutting their noses to spoil their faces. Take note.
John Daniel no m8 i went in the army because where i was living there was not much jobs and a lot of 16yr olds was on YTS schemes having 30 pounds a week
John Daniel. No, the industry that was badly served by the City and its financial institutions, which prioritised short term profits, immediate shareholder returns and overseas investment, you know, that industry.
Maggie was our greatest ever Pm and i am so very proud to have been in my prime when she became our Pm.She sorted out the labour party .She sorted out the unions .and she sorted out the miners and she sorted out their communist leader scargill.The greatest achievement any Pm has ever done.
All the things she ‘destroyed’ would have been ‘destroyed’ by another politician; John Major and Tony Blair did not bring back manufacturing, in fact it got worse and worse. Rightfully or wrongly the majority of MP’s believed it was the right decision, it’s not fair to say she is the sole reason it happened.
George are you sure economics didn't play a big part in the downfall of our old industries. Gordon Brown said the deep pits would reopen when economic conditions were right. Which is Labour speak for never.
Could not agree more she was a witch. BRAVO And a shout out to the miners around the world that sent xmas presents to the kids of the miners who were on strike, China, Russa, Austraia to name a few. Churchill would have been turning in his grave to see what this women done to GREAT BRITAIN.
@Stilt You are right, the Union were having weekly meetings at No.10 held the country to ransom. She broke the deadlock. But she also broke the mining communities. She also sold the nation ideas of self indulgence and greed, private healthcare and sold off council houses.
I will forget or forgive the dull witch of dulwich,she ripped the heart out of the north and sold us back her excrement . Gideon crying at her funeral what hell is he?and I will not forgive her lieutenants and collaborators either .
She was old nicks mother, how people applauded her I don’t know, she did more damage to the working class in this country than anybody else in history!
For god's sake how long was it since she was prime minister. She did leave the country in a surplus, the only prime minister who has done so for decades and decades. It's easy to blame the past, start dealing with our present problems

Well Said George,
Some people know the the price of everything ,
And the value of nothing ......
gallaway is a amazing spontanious speaker
doubt it wasnt rehearsed
She even tried to block Russian payments to the miners during the miners strike in 1984..hard working lads just wanting to live their life's as best they could and look after their family's..she even labelled them "enemy of the state" I say no more.
She was a Fascist,Pinochet was one of her friends.
Never criticises Putin though..
That woman was the worst thing that happened to this country. She was despicable.
She was moved into place just at the “right time“ by the hidden hand that controls the world. The result was successful, but the results can be seen to this day.
If Thatcher was four times worse than you think she was, she'd still only be a quarter as horrendous as Blair actually was.
I liked the house she sold us, as did millions of others. So so easy to criticize years later. Its just the way humans are. Need to start on Emperor Nero next, he was here too and what a mess he made.....where is my interview..
mrsT got rid of the old, and made the UK wealthy indeed for years. Cant pls all people though.
GG should be PM, that would be funny to see....
She was awful to the Miners 84 and I have never forgotten her needless slaughter in the Falklands War 82.
You may love him, you may hate him. But he's honest.
Mr. Galloway is absolutely right about Thatcher!
I’m starting to see a pattern w these woman. Crying tears of pain when leaving is not a good sign.
Brilliant speech, George you are a formidable orator, and the fact that your on my side strengthens me.
I was 20 George, I remember her well, she was hellbent on destroying the North of England.
The industry’s thatcher demolished were inefficient and subsidised by the tax payer, they were dead socialist commodity’s! she privatised them and the reason they did not thrive is because in Britain they were not able to be competitive, even under massive deregulation (This is proof British tax payers were not get value for there money before her actions) Your welcome to say what she did was not the best way to achieve the ends, but saying something did not need doing and her successfully turning around the economy was not a great achievement, is just ridiculous! And of course poll tax was unpopular! but she wanted everyone to have a equal equity stake in the country because all, and everyones productivity matters! Plus, all levels of income and living standards were better at that time, a direct result of her other policy’s and the poll tax was the way to drive the country further still.... she was a legend, she economically achieved more and did more good than any politician has since before WW1.... unpopular but needed! The alternative policy’s have proved 10 fold not to work!
The real truth.Galloways hate filled rants have thankfully been removed from talkradio.
Well George, you are the man!
Thatcher was an iron lady she wouldn't stand for people like George.
George is alive, and Maggie isn't...tramp the dirt down.
When the British royal family goes black, it is time to get rid of royalty; better still, to leave the UK forever more. Diversity is our strength - no it is not.
You and me both George. Thatcher killed my sister, my mother and my son. I just wish I could believe she was rotting in hell.
She sits at Satan's left hand.
eh did she stab them ?
@@10wanderer is she your mother?
Sa'eed Abubakar she can’t be yours with a name like that .. You illegally ere ...🤔
@@thebeast2746 you left your self baffling I can see, 🤣🤣🤣what a pity
According to stats, 50% of everything we see as British such as Heathrow airport, railways, ports, boots, Waterstones (bookshop) are now foreign owned. The thatcher government made it easy for foreign take overs of not just British companies with a wealth of knowledge and expertise but also national assets.. where as foregin take overs are common else where, there are rules.. for example in Germany they ban foreign takeovers of allot of technology & engineering companies etc to keep the knowledge in the country.. Britian sells all its best innovation startups to forigners because they’re forced to by some hedge fund in London.. these very situations are a legacy of thatchers policies..why the hell are we forced sell our valuable knowledge and expertise to foregieners to keep city financial firms happy? Remember there are rules allowing firms in the city to to just this!! there is somthing called national interest.. rules like other places should exist to protect our own... jobs, pride, social fabric.. Britian has become a dimmed down, minimum wage, skill less nation with a very rich capital because of the Tories.. the tories created cooperate London which has destroyed our nation and made us all slaves to foreign firms who do not share the passion we do for Britian.. we need strong leaders to change this now! Brexit or not.. we need good leaders that will make us proud again... we can’t keep letting cooperate London destroy us, we can’t keep letting foreigners buy out our country and take jobs away and not paying Uk tax... We earn more tax by making a money ourselves than for a rich foreigner to buy a London property.. this is why there are cuts.. the government has created a very friendly buisness climate for the rich, so they can avoid allot of tax.. who suffers?? Us!! I’m not racist.. I think multicultural societies are good.. but don’t sell our nation off.. let the nation be owned and run by us Brits.. white black or whatever.. as long as we hand on heart are proud of being British.. we will make the nation grow and provide jobs to people.. give us a chance.. stop letting only rich foreigners and London finance make money!
Agree.
Best part of thatchers career was when howe ended her career, when she walked out of downing street crying.that was a moment to savour,maybe a tiny bit of justice for all the misery she had inflicted on working people.
The worst thing for all of us ,was that they gave her a state funeral.independence is the only route.
She killed off industries that were arguably dying a death; industries that were propped up by huge, unsustainable subsidies, that couldn't compete against increasing foreign competition. Those whose livelihoods were intertwined with such industries have fair reason to despise her, but to suggest she "destroyed Britain" is only half true. The other half prospered under her leadership and this continued, perhaps even more so, under Blair's New Labour. Rather than incentivise "northerners" to head south to reap the rewards, the large majority of new jobs created were filled by immigrants. This cycle has continued ever since and is arguably the #1 reason why people voted for Brexit. As a nation that will need to compete with the EU, once out, I am somewhat cynical how things will improve wholesale "up north". But I remain hopeful.
So genius and conniving are the media and Tories, that they have the working class voting for them. These are dismal times.
maybe because the woke leftist of modern labour hate white working class brits
@@ericboxer3053 it's no secret that Tories and the ruling class hold the working class in contempt. Every day is a class war to them. Read a book. Stop ingesting right wing trash on social media.
@@christianzilla lol did I say the Tories were any different?
They aren't but if you think hard woke gender neutral green climate communism open border labour are on the same planet as working class brits you are clearly delusional and should stop mainlining the guardian and BBC
@@ericboxer3053 who said any of that is true? Voting neoliberals into power as working class citizens is against one's best interests. That's all I'm saying. If you spot any alternatives, let me know.
@@christianzilla sadly there are no alternatives...the entire western world's political system is rotten to the core unfortunately
I love George in his role opposing the US and the worlds modern political corruption but I was also there, back in 1984-85, a young steel worker, when the unions were dragging the country down the drain. The abuse of power by the gobshite union leaders and stewards was sickening to behold. Arthur Scargill had only one aim, to be the man that brought down the Tory government. He had not an iota of genuine compassion for his striking minors. He was on full pay for the whole period of the strike and then accepted life presidency of the miners union despite it's flagrant undemocratic nature. I reluctantly walked out of the gates on a number of occasions when loud mouthed bully boy shop stewards cajoled and intimidated workers into strike action for the most shamefully, pathetic "reasons". Margaret Thatcher was the foul tasting medicine that saved the country from economic suicide. The pole tax was a doomed attempt to persuade the electorate to take more personal responsibility. There was already a tiered income tax system that had the bigger earners paying the most tax. The simplistic view that most people have of that whole period, especially people who weren't even born then, exasperates me. There were many complex issues at play. One of these was that Labour held constituencies were deliberately overspending their budgets as a means of political retaliation through self sabotage. The idea of a pole tax was partly in response to that. I could go on forever. Margaret Thatcher was very strong, hard working, highly intelligent and decent human being. Her time in power was too long. She became corrupted and had to be removed from power, which is a shame. But she does not deserve the hatred that many, many people have for her. Even people in other countries. Her reputation world wide is one of a monster. Not true George. I was there!
You speak the absolute truth.Without Thatcher the puppet Labour government that the Unions owned and paid for would have brought about a far left economic armageddon that we would never have emerged from.Thatcher was the saviour of modern Britian.The real evil was the corrupt hypocrite Scargill and the other bullying Union Czars singing the red flag.The comments on here are by people as hate filled as Galloway without a clue as to the depth of shit Britian was in caused by a Labour Government and their corrupt paymasters.A prime minister for eleven years tells you how actually popular she was.Galloway is a bitter old man thankfully booted off talkradio for his disgusting diatribes.
@@johnnyconnelly7278 Thanks Johnny.
She also covered up the Hillsborough disaster rip 96
Would you ever shut the fuck up about Hillsborough. Liverpool hooligans were ultimately to blame just as they were at Hysel where they killed 39 juventas supporters. The real coverup is that the media never talk about this anymore.
Ian Holden she also protected jimmy savile from arrest
Dixie Normous your talking shit mate plod put to many fan's in the one pen
Ian Holden most of her cabinet was peadophiles and protected them m8
Ian Holden the bastard sent a poll tax bill to me when I was 16 only left school two weeks before
yes i was there a 21 year old lad, paid off after his apprenticeship. i felt her policies, i felt her actions, i heard her insults "moaning minnies and Tebbits "get on your bike speech" i witnessed the hideous arrogance of the
big business cheering her, and her heartless government, to destroy trade union representation in the workplace, and once again create a working class slave society
Margaret Thatcher did one good thing, she gave me a social concience forever by showing what it is like not to have one
Yes and some ignorant Muppets voted for the bitch time after time they must have liked getting kicked in the balls.
She could have cooled the Hunger strikes too, and given them decent rights, but yet again like 1916, it backfired on the Brits.
The unions had nothing to do with the demise of heavy industry of course.
tamp the dirt down
About time this was said.
Wow. George Galloway the greatest presenter. The Talk TV ever has. Bless you GG. Mother of talk show. Wednesday. 9 pm. and Sunday. 7 pm. Wow.
Another rant from gobby Galloway Margrate Thatcher didn’t destroy the minors Arthur Sgargill did
Tragically, she got away with destroying the entire country and Britain has not recovered from that wholesale destruction of the economy and the country's social fabric.
Yes a lovely lady. She even abolished school milk for children
Just to get herself noticed. A deeply disturbed woman.
Blair was far worse than Thatcher.
look at the Murdoch puppet today.... he has paranoia - no drug can help... if he has to appear in public....
One in the same ....illusion of choice.
Austin Lee and Dodgey Dave
The mans talking shite ...after Wilson and Callaghan and dare I say Heath .the country was on its knees waiting for the blow...Maggie thatcher milk snatcher ...which school still offers milk! coal mines loosing money by the truck load ...they called it the British disease, the strike capital of the world..love her or hate her she did a job..mistakes she made a few ..including the pole tax.and Blair should be bull wiped
@@katrinawalls2109 Tory Blair deregulated the banks which contributed to the 2007 crash effecting millions of lifes .Add that to the Iraq war and his body count leaves Maggie pissing in the wind .
And she was never voted out by the people of Britain 🇬🇧
You always get a good laugh with George "he likes her really"
I think George would have been an awesome songwriter.,
I still love Gorgeous George, I remember the *'Grapple in the Apple"* vs Christopher Hitchens....only time I seen Hitch bested in a debate.
Although in his defense....Hitch had an impossible position to defend/Debate.
You would want to express yourself George🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....But you do have a point.......she wrecked communities and her intransigence regarding NI led to more lives being lost.....if only she had dialogued more.....
"Little dreadlocked children running around the grounds of Buckingham Palace" What a glorious sight that would be! I'm all for it George...
yes great doing the Nazi solute what a ACE family and uncle Jimmy Savile /
Virtue signalling and thus racist. Why do people need to resort to identity politics?
Dreadlocks and singing 'Faith of our Father's Holy Faith!' would be meltdown for bigots!
(a) the coal was too expensive (and too deep) to mine economically and that's before you consider the dash-for-gas which was happening right across the western world.I could also add the previous labour administrations who closed down loads of coal mines but they were labour so that doesn't count I guess (b) the automotive industry was a joke - unions & poor management in the late 1960's onwards help create some of the most useless cars in the world - luckily that all changed under foreign ownership in the 1980's (c) the ship building industry was outdated, poorly run, over unionized and complete swallowed whole by the south Koreans - quite how Thatcher was responsible for that is anyone's guess (d) the poll tax did not get rid of Thatcher it was Tory divisions over Europe, MPs worried about their seats and an economy heading for recession - if the poll tax was an issue why did (e) Thatcher also cried when her son Mark was lost in the Sahara desert in Paris-dakar rally in the early 1980's (f) Markel is half cast not black as her father is white (g) Galloway at the royal wedding? How times have changed (h) Gordon Brown doesn't do interviews for a book - that's because he knows his time as an MP was a complete embarrassment ! Other than that George is pretty much spot on ! LOL x
I'm Irish, but I would know a lot about England back in the 80's. She did dismantle Britain, it could have been saved, by sitting down with the unions, instead, with her to ' hell with working class people' attitude and her hatred for all things Liverpool ( Working Class city) you get my drift! She is solely responsible for her dirty deals with her Ronald Reaganomic style policies of deregulation of Englands industries, then heading out foreign. The was when the real rot set in, not the 60's nor the 70's.
We were still getting superb cars from England in the late 70's, early 80s and top quality Sheffield Steel cutlery.
Don't get me started on her treatment of the North of Ireland.
She was pro apartheid as well. Nothing good about her.
@@michealkelliher8428 I would agree with pretty much all of what you've typed - I'm no cheerleader for her but blaming all the shortcomings of the 1980's as people like Galloway does isn't helpful or even accurate. As far as northern Ireland is concerned I would have let the United nations sort out the pointless sectarian blood letting or even better have left back in 1921
Well done George, The truth Hurts.
What a load of utter bollox!
I remember first seeing this guy when I was a teenager and thinking oh cool this guy gets it, and within 2 years I realised how embarrassing it is to think this guy actually says anything of value
Ah right we were supposed to dig coal pointlessly when no one wants it. Why dont we get people digging a massive hole in a field then fill it in at the end of the day, repeat Monday to Friday and that's employment sorted
We imported it afterwards.
@@danzel1157 The coal seams were exhausted and unproductive.Thats why they closed.

She fell on the steps of People's hall upset by Deng Xiaoping. Historical scene.
She also abolished the belt,
As a person who got the belt daily, I can gladly say I don't give a flying whatever about the milk stoppage,
Nothing like running down the dead eh. No right to reply.
She wouldn't reply anyway but who cares about her??
You should look up the 1988 Scottish Cup Final Dundee UTD v Celtic she had to be introduced to teams under the stand at Hampden then when she went to the royal box both the Dundee & Celtic fans all showed her red cards.
That's quality
Proof that Margaret Thatcher was despised North of the Border.
“...and they say there is no God” - I cannot remember the last time I howled with such pleasure
And then Galloway voted Tory.....hypocrisy
Sorry I missed that one. When did Galloway vote Tory?

ROYALS ARE WORSE / ILLUMINATI JIMMY SAVILE SATANIC CULT /
wayne90079 i agree m8
wayne90079 Thatcher is about as evil as Corbyn...
She was an excellent Prime Minister.
Indeed, she was - for the usurers and speculators in the City of London, for landlords and property developers, and for wealthy landowners. Not so good for everybody else, on the other hand.
Sorry George you are wrong. During the miner's strike Scargill and his lot would not allow the engineers in to keep the pumps running to stop the mines from flooding.
Cutting their noses to spoil their faces. Take note.
The ailing and failing British industry that was being held to ransom by trade unionists, that industry?
John Daniel she sent poll tax bills out to 16yr olds i know the bastard sent one to me
Did you pay it?
John Daniel no m8 i went in the army because where i was living there was not much jobs and a lot of 16yr olds was on YTS schemes having 30 pounds a week
John Daniel. No, the industry that was badly served by the City and its financial institutions, which prioritised short term profits, immediate shareholder returns and overseas investment, you know, that industry.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
Would I have wanted Britain to be burning coal for the last 27 years tho 🌞
Feck um , lets keep burning and stuff climate change 😷☝️🇮🇷
Good job George!
Maggie was our greatest ever Pm and i am so very proud to have been in my prime when she became our Pm.She sorted out the labour party .She sorted out the unions .and she sorted out the miners and she sorted out their communist leader scargill.The greatest achievement any Pm has ever done.
You have got to be one of the most deluded people ever. The woman was evil. She put 6 million workers on the dole.
Margaret Thatcher sorted out the unions and instigated the Miners Strike for spite. The worst prime minister ever.
All the things she ‘destroyed’ would have been ‘destroyed’ by another politician; John Major and Tony Blair did not bring back manufacturing, in fact it got worse and worse.
Rightfully or wrongly the majority of MP’s believed it was the right decision, it’s not fair to say she is the sole reason it happened.
He sure does have a lot of grudges...
George are you sure economics didn't play a big part in the downfall of our old industries. Gordon Brown said the deep pits would reopen when economic conditions were right. Which is Labour speak for never.
Could not agree more she was a witch. BRAVO And a shout out to the miners around the world that sent xmas presents to the kids of the miners who were on strike, China, Russa, Austraia to name a few. Churchill would have been turning in his grave to see what this women done to GREAT BRITAIN.
The Icecream girl .. that woman was adding air to increase the volume. Everyday I discover more and more .
GOOD ORATOR , is our George, but never been on a BIG JOB !
She had no choice (stepping stones). We were in the grip of unions and on the brink of becoming a third world country. Hate can distort logic.....
@Stilt You are right, the Union were having weekly meetings at No.10 held the country to ransom. She broke the deadlock. But she also broke the mining communities. She also sold the nation ideas of self indulgence and greed, private healthcare and sold off council houses.
I will forget or forgive the dull witch of dulwich,she ripped the heart out of the north and sold us back her excrement . Gideon crying at her funeral what hell is he?and I will not forgive her lieutenants and collaborators either .
2 monsters together Thatcher And May,May is a bigger monster,Brilliant said George true
She was old nicks mother, how people applauded her I don’t know, she did more damage to the working class in this country than anybody else in history!
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks that Thatcher was evil 😈
For god's sake how long was it since she was prime minister. She did leave the country in a surplus, the only prime minister who has done so for decades and decades. It's easy to blame the past, start dealing with our present problems
Thatcher proved that power corrupts completely. I hoped a woman would make a different difference ! Vicious , vengeful , vitriolic , stubborn bit of work. Go get 'um George.
Working people are living in the legacy of the evil birch I'm glad I emigrated lest we forget
Well said George. The future is a future of UNITY IN DIVERSITY.
Imagine this. I liked Thatcher for correcting the abyss and I like GG for standing up for the wee people
What abyss? You mean arming the Taliban’s progenitors and giving us modern-day terrorism that we’re still paying for through our noses. Lol.
