RIP Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher died peacefully this morning after suffering a stroke.

Baroness Thatcher was a controversial character, loved by the right and viciously hated by the left.  She started off well but during the later years of her term in office the line between strong leader and stubborn dictator were blurred.

While there will be partying in the streets by left wing politicians and trade unionists, most will be saddened by her death.  I grew up in a household that suffered by Thatcher's later policies and she was certainly far from popular in our family but as time has gone on it is clear that her successors all, without exception, pale in comparison.  I would rather endure a decade under Thatcher of old than a year under these LibLabCon cretins.

Labour's Eastleigh candidate wishes IRA had killed Thatcher

Terrorist Sympathiser

The Labour candidate for Eastleigh, John O'Farrell, wrote a book in 1998 on his misguided support for the Labour Party and explains in it how disappointed he was that the IRA failed in their attempt to assassinate Margaret Thatcher in 1984.

Lord Tebbit has described O'Farrell as an "incontinently voiced moral reprobate who tries to excuse murder as a weapon against those who won democratic elections time after time against the rag-bag remnants of a once great  Labour Party".  Lord Tebbit was injured in that assassination attempt and his wife was crippled for life by it.

In the book O'Farrell also explains how we wishes that we had lost the Falklands war and left the Falkland Islanders at the mercy of the Argentinian invaders.
