      Louise has a right to her views. Nobody compares Pope Francis to the Yorkshire Ripper. I was a child in Yorkshire during the time of the Ripper, believe me he caused far more fear than Louise Mensch has done. Louise is clever, beautiful and witty, she is a credit to the 90s generation.

      Which shows that underneath all the "edgy" comedy, Frankie Boyle is just another left wing, grievance mongering panderer to the failed Marxist ideology. Perhaps we should nationalise comedians, and take all their money, Frankie would be glad to have all his money taken away, and live in a state owned council house. What no?

    The sad truth is that many deluded (and increasingly greedy) people DID vote for Thatcher. My father, to his eternal regret, voted for her in '79 despite voting against the Tories in every other election before and since.
    Thatcher was a single-minded menace, but she rode on a wave of like-minded greedy aspiration of people who weren't happy with what they already had. People are, unfortunately, like that and not much has changed.

Thatcher wasn't some sort of super popular politician, but the stars aligned in such a way that she could ride a surging wave of nationalism with the Falklands War.

I personally didn't give a flying shit and the fact that the anchor apologized at the end for Alexis' "word" surprised me and almost pissed me off, wtf? I then realized that the station and tv networks have a reputation to keep up so the short apology was actually a good thing considering their circumstance. If the anchor started apologizing like a lil kid that's not trying to get into trouble, I would then call in myself and tell them to censor themselves less because they're making themselves look like little babies caring more about political correctness rather than presenting the facts and the shitty opinions of their guests.

Because of the 80s humour, this motivated me to learn about Stalin, Trotsky, Marx and Lenin. That and my Dad (being an ex Sgt in The parachute regiment) insisted we watched the local and international news every bleeding night in order to know what is going down in the world . By the time I was 14 I had a pretty good idea and a healthy view on politics. Needless to say that when it came for my time to vote, I had no ideas whose policies actually makes sense, and to be honest, nothing has changed.

    I never quite understood how being 'strong' (narcissitic/sociopathic) and intransigent (stubborn to the point of psychopathy!) could be seen as virtues or somehow to be aspired to. Thatcher did have a t the very least a borderline personality disorder and was in fact a terrible politician. She almost single-handedly decimated British manufacturing, she sold off all council houses leaving very little social housing for future generations, she privatised things like energy, trains and telecommunications (hence all the problems we have today!) and she sold off energy companies to foreign conglomerates and thoroughly wasted north sea gas. She was truly appalling but made everybody believe she was a goddess. She was truly awful

      Ha Ha Some of us were hating and turning our faces away while listening, right up until that point, it being one of the earliest public endorsements of her. Theresa May as PM was a great fantasy for the best people of this country. ..While Thatcher just sent people down to slave in dark mines and lefties like you similarly want to stick your head up the darkest a*hole you can find.

    @ 4.20 Mench states that harriet Harman praised Maggie in the strongest possible way (Harman is a feminist [ie, insecure, badly-done-to woman]), probably for leading the way for women- but actually Maggie HATED feminists, she stated 'I owe them NOTHING'. So maybe Mench should get her facts correct first. I am (sort of) a fan of Thatcher's - I am certainly not a lefty, but I do think Sayle is a great comedian. A person does not have to agree with someone's politics to like them.PS. I DO NOT VOTE
