Do you think immigration would be so bad if Maggie Thatcher was?

Question

still around, I overheard this in a pub and wondered what the general feeling was, I'm not conservative, but tend to agree that she wouldnt have took all the crap.

Answer 1

Well I'm one of those people you hear being quaintly described as one of the Thatcher generation. Namely becoming a voter with Mrs Thatcher at the helm. For most of my early voting years she was prime minister, so we had little other experience of anyone else. There's a vary similar situation now with Blair having been in office for ten years. I'd guess most younger voters will be known as the Blair generation.
Would Mrs Thatcher have taken the crap with Europe, immigration and being Americas poodle.
Not in a million years, no she wouldn't!
She was the greatest leader this country's ever had excluding maybe Churchill.
She truly cared about our nation and the ordinary hard working and decent people, she had little time or patience for scroungers, criminals, illegals or sycophants.
Her removal from office began the process from which are nation started dying, a process which is still going on and gathering pace as is goes.

Answer 2

Well, I am definitely not Labour, and that goes doubly for new Labour. Much of the unpatriotic social engineering that this government has brought about, particularly sucking up to the EU with its appalling 'Human Rights Act', would not have happened under Maggie. She is always given a bad press, but it was the unions that nearly destroyed Britain, and she sorted them out, thank God. Most of the people who criticise her are too young to have been aware, first hand, of the good that she did. Many of them have been indoctrinated by their left wing teachers/lecturers and the TV media. Even when she was in power, 'left wingers' still ran the public sector, particularly education, that is why we have so many brainwashed young people who think that they are being 'right on' and smart when they attack Maggie. Incidentally, only a few years earlier The Thatcher Governments policies would have been considered perfectly normal by patriotic people.

Answer 3

She sold off everything of any value in Britain and, whilst convincing the populace that they would all share in the proceeds through 'trickle-down' and 'stakeholding', distributed the wealth amongst the wealthy; deregulated the economy so that the greedy could reap ever greater benefits; convinced us that there is 'no such thing as society' and that the only value that mattered was financial; helped convince the West that the "free" market was the only human institute with anything to say worth listening to; destroyed countless communities and put hundreds of thousands of people out of work. And our institutions - education, media, you name it, are led by people at the 'top' of the hierarchical pyramid who have so benefited from this new mind-set that they do everything in their power to perpetuate it through disinformation and corruption. The result being a society in which both the left and the right are pursuing basically the same policies with different trimmings, in which the gap between the rich & poor is widening at an accelerating pace but in which, it seems, even the poor have been so convinced of the inevitability of what is happening that they for the most part meekly collude. The well-being of a country is now only measured by how rich the rich are. I think she was great for Britain.

Answer 4

Maggie would have been realistic about what the country could support and she would never ever have sold us out. She was a modern day Bodicea.

The House of Lords used to be exactly that, filled with hereditary peer who were brought up to see the bigger picture and the welfare of the Country even unto the 3rd and 4th generation. They would never ever have given 'concessions' in pursuit of the'black vote' in order to secure their own greeds

They have, of course, been removed by the modern day politicians whose own ends could not be secured whilst the Lords still had breath in the body.

I'm not racist, other countries have tight controls on immigration for the good of everybody.

Answer 5

well i generally feel the conservatives over all dealt with the issue better, under the conservatives even john major, they successfully would take the immigration numbers down when the got a bit high so it never really became a problem.

Answer 6

Hell no! She was someone with some honest-to-God sense. She was realistic in her claims and was able to back up every arguement she had. Bush should take an example from her, his entire term has been weak and feeble-minded, he has no concrete in his convictions. Maggie Thatcher is someone I would have awarded a medal to, just for being able to speak her mind and back it up.

Answer 7

Maggie was a hard biartch but she was sensible,
"if you come to live in a country you must support it and abide by its laws"
now that aint hard for anyone to learn, evin if engrish is your second lingo

"When in rome do as the romans do" although that is Christian scripture and we can't expect these people to understand this

divided we fall

Answer 8

I don't think she would have taken the crap either.

What we need is someone in power who will put the British people first and stop thinking more about foreigners than about those who have been here paying their taxes all their lives.

Answer 9

No way would Maggie have been so obsessed with being "at the centre of Europe", she was doggedly for the Brits and would have hand-bagged the lot of them.!!
