Where's the Thatcher thread gone?

We need to be careful - pretend we are discussing something else....

 

Why what other controversial right wing politician has died?

 

The price of fish is to rise.

 

yeh - what sort of music do you like listening to? I like a bit of Billy Bragg meself not happy with that Phil collins stuff!

 

Who moderates the moderaters? This will probably be pulled

 

Surely someone complained to the Mods, I think it was poptop2, he's such a suck up...

 

Ah, sanity prevailing and a modicum of free speech allowed

 

Old fashioned roofers ?

 

Sorry guys, I pulled it.

I had received several requests to pull it, reflects poorly on TLB.

Remember somebody has died, and people have lost a member of their family.

 

there's a couple of Mark Thomas sessions on radio 4 iplayer. wonder if he'll do a special on something that happened today which the bbc reported as "died from a strike"? what a delicious slip up

 

Fair point.

 

A discussion between civilised adults expressing well worded and argued beliefs reflects badly on a forum? This is pathetic.

 

Fair play but she was a hugely controversial public figure. Did the Jimmy Saville thread get pulled as well?

 

bizarrely, my exact thoughts!

 

The Late bay has a no Politics and or Religious policy..as well racism etc etc.. However your are more than welcome to talk about VW vans

 

now thatCHERisdead, just pretend your talking about the singer?

 

For the benefit of Holmsen:

""Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana, vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen [we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all]. Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher [...] your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!"

 

I doubt her family spend much time on here - there are plenty of comments elsewhere they will read which are far more direct than anything written here. She was very divisive, some admire her, some hate her - what she did affected everybody in the UK (and beyond).

 

If that is so why was the thread ever allowed to start? Which Thatcher was it ever going to be?
