Thatcher is now so senile she forgets her husband is dead: That’s sad but I was around when she knew her mind, so forgive me for not going all-out Diana here
Why are people so fucking sentimental about certain things? Take the following story:
FORMER Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is so badly affected by dementia that she forgets husband Denis is dead. In a poignant account, her daughter Carol describes how she has to keep reminding Mrs T he is no longer around.
Yeah, very poignant indeed.
God help us but I was around during the eighties when the master and mistress of greed walked the earth: Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. People love to blame the Sixties for all our current ills. The age of permissiveness and all of that.
Which would be very funny, if it wasn’t so achingly sad. Reagan and Thatcher were the ones who were really into permissiveness. They cried havoc and let slip the dogs of capitalism.
There would have been no Enron scandal; no Halliburton raping the American tax payer and the Iraqis in one go; no Savings & Loans obscenity; and probably no sub-prime bullshit either.
No, this is not an argument for socialism. Most of the times, the private sector will be much more efficient, more productive and, in the end, cheaper than any state run company or institution.
Yet, unfettered capitalism is Hell on earth for the vast majority of the people – and that’s what Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher stood for. That’s what they and others of their ilk created, or permitted. That’s why millions of Americans lost their pensions and the Enron bosses walked away with billions of dollars, almost all of them without even a slap on the wrist.
That’s how the super rich inherited the earth, with the connivance of all the smaller political fishes who swam in the wake of these two big sharks, who are now so lovingly remembered.
Which is why I’m truly pissed off when I read some fucking sob story about Thatcher’s dementia – or the sentimental shit we used to hear about Ronald and Nancy.
It also explains why my first thought upon reading the headline of this news story was:
“Wow, how amazing! The old bat is actually improving with age. So, now she just forgets that her husband is dead? Hey, when she was in power she forgot that 99% of the people were alive.”
So, I’m sorry but fuck her.

Boo hoo sob. Couldn’t happen to a better person. She considered Scotland to be a testing ground for whatever the hell evil scheme she was planning. Still happens to this day really, kind of always has, but Thatcher was the worst.
Hope she’s incontinent on her “good days”

Thanks, for the comment.
Yes, Scotland, with the poll tax and all. In certain (most?) parts of Scotland she must still be about as popular as Cromwell in Ireland,

Too bad she will never feel the wrenching psychic pain of finally realizing she was capitalism’s bitch-whore and enemy of humanity. Long may she look pathetic and risible.
