All to please the tories, who sold it all off in the first fucking place, that's why this won't make a blind bit of difference to fuel bills. #thatcher
The #FalklandsWar began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1982 with occupation of #SouthGeorgia. #Argentina's dictatorship, deeply unpopular, stoked #nationalism to stay in power. #Thatcher, also unpopular (16% approval in '81) did the same. 649 Argentine & 258 British lives were the cost.
Bye bye, is that too complicated for you?
I LIVED THROUGH THAT TIME
I am well aware of the lead up and the dreadful poll ratings the evil #Thatcher was getting so she started a war to save her premiership
Now run along and stop being a fantasist
Bye bye
Bye bye till you can find a source that has some validity - the evil #Thatcher engineered the war where many died to save her premiership, you can push your fantasy all you like but your source has no validity.
Bye bye fantasist
Your source is like saying Donald Trump has acted in a fit and proper way because Donald Trump said so - your source is a joke mate.
I lived through that period and I know the evil #Thatcher engineered a war that killed service personnel to boost her numbers. End of story.
Bye bye
Actually she did pick the war, the Gvt made it easy for Argentina to invade so that the evil #Thatcher could have a "war" of sorts to save her premiership.
I lived through this period so you can fluff it up all you like, Thatcher engineered the Falklands war
You can disagree all you like and if your source is the evil #Thatcher no wonder your view is skewed.
I lived through that period and remember it well. The UK Gvt paved the way as Thatcher's numbers were dropping, picked a "war" that cost lives to save her premiership
The evil #Thatcher paved the way for the invasion as her popularity rating was dropping badly, then gathered a task force to create a localised war around a small island with many service people on both sides killed to save her premiership.
The Falklands conflict was avoidable.
Very true, look at the evil #Thatcher and the #Falklands
Selling off all the decent council housing stock and not replacing it. What a great idea that was. #Thatcher #YouandYours

#Tory #Thatcher crushed the miners, said weโll smash the teachers next. At some point the population realised qualifications and experience count. ๐ช๐บ
Called #Thatcher an " evil woman". The entirety of that side of the family switched from voting Tory to Labour or SNP.
A big switch for the worthy mistress of no 0 OO, farmer, Rangers supporting family with grandfather in the Blacks, many of the family were service or ex service- ww2, Egypt, NI etc
I hate #Thatcher with a passion.
She caused 26% unemployment in my area. My cousin lost his job and OD because of her.
My partner at the time list his job and moved to Shropshire. He asked me to move but I was at Uni.
They decimated my area.
My Gran at the age of 80 stopped voting Tory and
It's a regular #deception, esp in #UK in past #decades, where U #leverage a #sacrificial #corporate #body ( #carehome #WaterCompany), with #huge #debt, & while #alive drawing huge #cash amounts from it, until it #dies. #TreasureIsland #thinktanks #Thatcher #carehomes #aging x.com/i/grok/share...
Even better news:
#Thatcher is still dead, rotting in a corner of hell! ๐
Filming! Today, I'm filming a short video about Mrs #Thatcher over the course of the 1980s... the finished result will appear as part of an OUP series of information videos on British Politics for students. Will (hopefully!) be fun!
โAfter two years a Govt shouldnโt still be blaming the previous Govtโ
#TomTugendhat #BBCQT
Really???
The #Tories were still blaming #GordonBrown up until the Covid years!
#Thatcher blamed #Labour in the 1983 General Election.
Typical #TwoTierTory - itโs OK for us to do it, but not you!
Privatisation should be banned.
It's just a money making scheme for the already wealthy that us everyday people pay through the nose for.
Another one of #Thatcher 's legacies that should be like her - dead!
Leur thรจse (celle de @romaricgodin.bsky.social, en fait) est simple mais implacable : le #PS dans les faits est arrivรฉ au pouvoir en France aprรจs #Thatcher au Royaume-Uni et #Reagan aux รtats-Unis et il sโest aplati devant la contre-rรฉvolution nรฉolibรฉrale sans jamais tenter de sโy opposer. 2
Trump's gloating over #Mueller's death reminded me of this Elvis Costello song about Margaret #Thatcher

I hope #Trump lives long enough to reap the full measure of karma, and retains enough brain cells to understand what's happening to him.

it's not about "right" or "left". that continuum has always been flexible and is not fixed. cf. the #Blair vs. #Brown governments, or #Thatcher vs. #Major or even #Blair vs. #Cameron - i could barely tell the difference between those two!
then #UKLabour put up #Corbyn - that went well, didn't it!

With any luck, this murdering, genocidal bastard is rotting in hell, with the likes of #Hitler & #Thatcher.
Fingers crossed ๐ค
Shocking! ๐ฎ
Just what bloody difference does it make what clothes #HannahSpencer is wearing?? It's all about how decent, hard working & caring an MP is not what she wears.
Look at #Thatcher - she always wore a suit, but she was STILL a cunt.
#RoryStewart & war criminal #AlistairCampbell had a play-fight in #TheRestIsPolitics, blaming each other for the the UK's 1-ship navy comedy. The so-called "#RoyalNavy" has only ship to send to the #Mediterranean, the #destroyer #HMSDragon.
But the real #comedy [โฆ]
