Perhaps they hate her because of what her policies were? Nah, that can't be an explanation, now can it, hey, Bogan? Has to be just 'cause she was a Conservative, right? Millions unemployed, the steel industry destroyed, the coal industry destroyed, milk stolen from school children, you name it, she did it.
Margaret Thatcher took over the Prime Ministership of the UK when Labour and your Socialist friends had run the country into the ground with endless strikes. The UK had become so ungovernable that the Labour Prime Minister, Callaghan, simply resigned and walked away. It was no use negotiating or trying to reason with Socialists like you who think that money grows on trees, and all you have to do to is "tax the rich" like they are lemons until the pips squeak. She began the process of Privatisation in the UK because Britain under Labour had been callled "the sick man of Europe." You remember that just fine, but today you pretend thatr she was some sort of ogre because she took the British economy by the scruff of the neck and made it work. Her most famous quote from that time was for all of the professional dole bludgers in Britain to "get on your bike" and go and find a job instead of bludging on the ever shrinking numbers of British taxpayers.

Ah, so you were in the White House when this call supposedly took place, were you, Bogan? You witnessed Reagan taking the call did you? Funny how they let unemployed (at the time) Australian electricians into the Oval Office, now isn't it?
That's puerile, even for you. I read that either in a newspaper of in one of the books I have dealing with the liberation of Granada from those murdering commie bastards that you admire, and who's ever failing economic and social policies you dream of adopting. The question begs, if you love Africans, Muslims and Communists so much, why the hell don't you go to a country run by them and live in their utopian splendour?

What I always found interesting is that Maggie was the only British PM who was refused a chair during her weekly afternoon tea with the Queen after the US invasion of Grenada. Seems the Yanks didn't know or understand that having a "special relationship" with another country means you tell them when you're going to invade a country which they hold title to. Seems Grenada was actually a member of the British Commonwealth and had a British Governor - something the Yanks never knew. Lizzie wasn't happy. Funny that, hey?
They didn't tell the British because they figured that there were too many George Blake's. Anthony Blake's, Guy Burgess's, Vidkun Quisling's, Richard de Natale's, and Brian Ross's in the British government, who hate their own country, race, culture, and society, and who would sell them out to their enemies at any opportunity.

Of course, Grenada occurred as a consequence of the bombing in Beirut of the US Marines barracks by Islamist Terrorists a few days earlier. Strange how the US decided to demonstrate it's resolve by picking on a tiny Caribbean country which had awarded the contract to rebuild it's airport to a British company which had in turn awarded the construction to a Cuban company that used ex-members of the Cuban Army to actually do the work and the Yanks decided to portray their invasion as liberating US students at the local medical school as being it's primary purpose, despite not doing it until three days after the invasion had started and discovering they were in no danger...
Oh, Bullshit. The yanks quite correctly liberated Granada when the communist criminals shot dead their own leader proving that they had no legitimacy at all. They were just a gang of criminal thugs. Something like Noriega and his narcotrafficante mates, or Maduro and his thugs. It must have made you cringe when the yanks went in and all of those Granadians were shown in the media as cheering them on? You must not have felt so bad since when the East Europeans started tearing down statues of of Lenin and Stalin and chucking them on the garbage piles of history, where they belonged. Just wait until a Venezuelan Pinochet turns up and chucks Maduro and his thugs out and watch the Venezuelans cheer that. Then you and your commie mates can spend the next 40 years bemoaning how the successful utopian socialist state of Venezuela was destroyed by an evil man.
