    One prays so.
    Every country should have a Thatcher to lead them and the whole world's problems would disappear withing five years.
    Solid capitalist policies are the way forward for everyone but you have to have all the left castrated so they can't breed.
    That of course excludes the toilet cleaners and burger flipper because you need them.

    Yep and it was also the Putin and the pink elephants on the roof top of Downing Street N° 10.

    Anyone who really believes this BS of EU hacked the election must have lost his brain! Why? Isn't it fact that Labour and Conservative and so both told that Brexit will be done and no exit from brexit will happen? Yep! So what would have the EU earned as advantage now? Nothing... and more, this result makes the job of the EU much more difficult to find a serious UK partner for the Brexit negotiations!

    No.
    He won London, a Labour city.
    And he won it easily and repeatedly.

    Boris cuts through.
    Corbyn will never get a single Tory vote, Boris gets loads of Labour votes.

    It's a popularity contest and he is very popular indeed. Frankly in a way that no other UK politician is.

    Well ... the British are generally known in the world for their sometimes strange humor ... :-D
    Therefore, I wouldn't really wonder if this troll Boris will be the successor of May. But then really Monthy Python Show is announced ...

    Not sure really, palace politics denied it him last time round. A mistake that has cost the party.

    Not sure if they will wish to change party leader at this point. Another election? They may not be feeling so keen for one anymore.

    I didn't say they did, just the EU wants to spike Brexit.
    The rest is a figment created by a mind less than capable of basic reading comprehension.

    Sure, you not, but as angry as the EU is about Brexit and as hard it could be with destroying some BS dreams of Pro-Brexit promises, the EU will have a serious UK part in the negotiations who is backed by the UK parliament and where no extremist trolls shot between by blocking whatever.
    There is such a mountain of things to be sorted out form major important to lesser important ... and the deadline stays until this has to be finished!

    Someone can elect a country to death too... particularly we Germans know this out of history very well when there were nearly annual elections between end of WW-1 and raise of Hitler in 1933!

    The one big thing about Brexit is no one can show where a vote took place to enter the EU.
    The old EEC had such but there was no consultation about the rest.
    May has seriously miscalculated this move and left the UK in a far weaker position as the daft Labour party will spike every move they can and that means the UK will leave under far worse terms than it needed to.

    Maggie would never have been that stupid.

    Well you had your chance to elect to give us a better deal and keep us in the EU, so you have no one else to blame but yourselves.
    Grats, you've done it to yourselves again.

    Offer only a **** deal, don't cry when people won't deal with you.

    Corbyn will probably be the next PM as part of an Everybody But The Conservatives Coalition.

    I loved her (still do) and I know she would if she felt it was right for Britain.

    Irony here...due to the Scottish Conservatives fighting this election as if it were a vote on Scottish Independence the Tories have 12 extra seats which makes what you say not possible.

    I believe you. She sold our democracy. Well she began it and Blair finished off what she started.

    The iron lady stopped bent Marxists like Scargill.
    The left wing unions had effectlve grip on power until a saviour came along and gave them a serious handbagging.

    Yup. There would simply be no democracy in this country without her.
    It was pretty much the decisive battle vs "sovietism/socailism/unionism". Not sure what the right word is. But basically, she prevented a state take over through non democratic (Marxist) means.

    And she stole the working class vote from Labour in the process. They never got it back.

    All the toilet cleaners, poop shovelers and maids get a vote and even Marxists can stand ofr election.
    Thing is, since Maggie exposed them, no one can stand the Marxists.

    I love that woman and two pictures of her in my office.

    OK, I said she sold our democracy - Well she began it and Blair finished off what she started.

    So to the Miners

    https://www.theguardian.com/comment...s-strike-thatcher-real-enemy-within-extremism

    Open Democracy has written how her rule tore up our 'unwritten constitution' giving birth to Charter 88 and work to preserve our Democracy which John Smith the Scottish Leader of the Opposition was determined to implement when he got into Government - something which was stopped by his untimely death - which brings us to the second part of what I wrote - Thatcher began the destruction of our democracy but it was Blair who finished it.



    https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourki...new-epoch-for-democratic-resistance-has-begun

    (there is a lot more information at that link if you are interested)

    Of course the work Thatcher did did also lead to the destruction of a lot of our trade unions to the end of working men's clubs where people could get support and a political education and workers solidarity and left those in need vulnerable - something which groups like the BNP and UKIP have capitalised on.

    Thatcher like the neo cons she followed did not believe in democracy.

    That brings us to where we are today a Plutocracy, something Corbyn does not agree with.

    Yes, she was great, wasn't she?
    The unions were destroying Britain so had to go and Thatcher was just to woman for the job. She fixed them and that lasted until silly Labour governments gave them some stupidity back.
    The WMCs were a dead duck anyway as drinking habits changed but they didn't. If they'd followed the basic rules of capitalism, they would have survived. Still, socialists expect people to change for them whilst capitalists change to suit the needs of the market.
    As for "workers' education", I joined the Labour party when I was young and too foolish to see how stupid socialism is.
    I don't regret that short time as it allowed me to see how that pathetic lot worked and just what they wanted for the UK.
    That experience made me see the reality of socialism and set me on the true path of capitalism.
    My earnings at the moment are four times that of the next worker and ten times that of the lowest at my place, a salary gained by hard work and personal goals that I am willing to go for when others sit on their fat backsides and wait for the paycheque they moan is too small.

    I don't have to work today but I will because I have things I want done and doing them means I can do more on Sunday and through next week.
    That's why I can stay in a very nice hotel when I go on holiday when the lazy moaners have to doss down in a cheapo place.
    Stuff socialism - I can hold my head up high when people moan I get paid too much because I know I've worked for it and I bloody well deserve it.

    I don't think any need take lessons in democracy from the Guardian newspaper.
    I'd sooner take lessons in democracy from Rupert Murdoch to be quite honest.

    Few institutions do more to actively pervert democracy in this country than the Guardian.
    A bunch of rich lefties run an unprofitable newspaper with the sole purpose of promoting their own political agenda's.
    Of making themselves "more equal".

    I don't know who Open Democracy are either, but whatever their "unwritten constitution" was it sounds as highly convenient to me as their name.

    Class war is just intolerance. I see no difference to it and racism. Class warriors I have no time for. Dislike.
    Very pleased she beat the unions. Very pleased indeed. Their idea of what democracy is, is the same idea as what the Soviets thought it was. North Korea might be a democracy, but I would prefer the word to mean a little more than that,

    They got run out the country and placed in jail hopefully. Which is where they belong. Nothing democratic about those people.
    Only democratic in the very loosest of terms.

    She was a great woman, and she earned the respect of a lot of Americans such as myself which testifies to what a great leader she was not just in Britain but on the international stage.

    I don't doubt for an instant that she would have left the EU if she thought it was best for your country.

    For what it's worth, I'd like to say that many of us here in the States are proud of you for standing up for your sovereignty - that wasn't an easy choice to make but doing the right thing isn't always easy. The Individualism we cherish here in America is the greatest and most valuable legacy that our Forefathers brought over here from Britain and it is the bedrock that our nation and Constitution are built on. I wish all of you the best in your post-Brexit endeavors. :beer:
