All I have to sing is *now now now now, magareth tatcher, ye ye ye free Mandela*

occam: One more reason to hate this woman:

She enacted tighter immigration rules. Any child born in Britain but of foreign parents does not automatically become a British citizen. This was a very calculated and callous move to hold on to power. Why? knowing that only xenophobic minds will support her "white only" conservative ideas for Britain.

She embraced ideas of the British National Party. Are the BNPs still on the rise? I doubt if a party like that can even exist today with more ethnic groups in Britain

And why should folks who were running from their own countries and who couldn't bring positive change to their own countries have a say in how another country is run?

You are very correct -immigration and race have always been fundamental to the conservative party who always use it to secure votes when their policies are becoming unpopular.

In a 1979 election campaign speech she successfully secured victory by warning the already racist white british of the need to clamp down on non white immigration, forgetting that less than two decades earlier, west indian workers were brought to the UK to do all the menial jobs due to huge labour shortages that britain was suffering as a result of the second world war.

Anyone who doesn't like how a foreign country is run should go home and effect change in their own country first.

I think you will find that Britain were behind the reason that those folks were leaving their countries of origin for greener pastures.

Lets take nigeria for instance - who installed a puppet regime of northerners on the south in 1960?

who armed and funded the nigerian army against the biafrans?

who installed Obasanjo part 1 and 2 and IBB on us?

who removed buhari ?

who was the architect of SAP?

ochukoccna: Most people tend to live out their latter years in regret at actions they took while younger or in a position of authority
I wonder what her's was especially as the gtim reaper beckoned through ill-health
Too bad racists (especially white ones) tend to spawn faster before we can decapitate them
NL dee jay,please play MAKAVELI's White Man's World to celebrate Thatcher's departure

IF THEY STOP STEALING OUR RESOURCES WE WOULD NOT OFFER OUR INPUT IN HOW THEIR COUNTRY IS RUN.

As usual, conspiracy theories.

SAP was implemented because your leaders (IBB) were corrupt and needed to balance books.

Did Britain itself not implement SAP from the mid 1970s until the early 80s? Britiain went to the IMF in 1975 and it had to go on SAP as well. People who borrow money have to follow the directives of their creditors. Why is China not implementing SAP? If you don't want to be issued directives, then don't borrow.

She died before Mandela and crazy Majek Fashek.....I hope she finds peace where ever she remains.

The weak will always be targeted. Your 'resources' are stolen because there are people in your country who are more interested in their own benefits and use ethnic sentiments provided by the rest to stay weak. Your fate should not be decided by outsiders. They are trying to prevent you from having a say in their country. You should do the same.

Ah ya wat a great woman, i wish for such a woman in nija. May her soul rest in peace

lepasharon: But my mum liked her..because she gave the right to buy your house!

Is that why you also like her??

What about the millions of lives she destroyed??

She supported apartheid and helped destroy Nigeria as well...

Anyway, R.I.P Maggi..

What lives did she destroy? Apartheid I agree but how did she destroy Nigeria?

As an original black man - I'll never support racist people!!

Supporting racist jerks would amount to selling my soul for a nickle!!

Off to renew political vows with ol' Ronnie Reagan.

Katsumoto:

Iran contra and her complicity with both Ronald Reagan and IBB?? SAP??

May her soul RIP

If Thatcher policies were so bad, why didn't two Labour prime ministers, who were in power for 13 years, reverse her major policies? If they were so bad, why did Blair continue her policies?

shymexx:

You are obfuscating.

Elaborate on all the above. Don't lump them together.

Start with the policies, actions, and the consequences.

Shym is exaggarating they took off 22 years ago, after he was released from jail.

I have always found it weak that people would often be quick to blame external forces without properly assessing their own failures.

As for those celebrating her death, like someone aptly said, why not turn to stone so you never die.

You need a comprehensive mental check, if for whatever reason, you find yourself celebrating the death of someone who has done you nothing.

That is borderline psychopathy.

I need to start questioning your South African-ness?? Are you sure you're not a Zimbabwean claiming SA??

George W Bush signed the bill in time for the Nobel Peace Prize winner's 90th birthday on July 18. Ronald Reagan had originally placed the ANC on the list in the 1980s .

"Today the United States moved closer at last to removing the great shame of dishonoring this great leader by including him on our government's terror watch list," Senator John Kerry said after the bill was approved.

^^^^Nelson Mandela was removed from the terrorist list in USA - in 2008!!!

They know who is robbing them blind in their own countries and where those folks reside. Yet instead of tackling the rogues in their own countries, they cowardly blame outsiders. Has Nigeria been robbed more than China? China was bled for centuries by foreigners but it learned from that experience and its a strong nation today. Nigerians are still blaming the British PM (MacMillan) from independence for their problems.

oh Lord

Farewell Margaret Thatcher, We forgave you. Now you meet your make and state your case for your actions against the black people of South Africa.

Katsumoto:

The same leftwing lazy rhetoric.

I asked you before and I will ask you again. What policies would you have implemented in 1979 considering the following

1. A decline in the UK mining industry

2. High inflation

3. High debt (the labour government had borrowed from the IMF)

4. High taxes from Labour (98% marginal rate)


The problem with people like you is that you expect the government to do everything for you.

Thatcher dealt with a devastating economic conditions with skill and wisdom.

She understood that the mining industry was dying and reformed trade unions so much that the unions could not hold the country hostage. Did the unions not bring down the Labour government of Callaghan in 1979?

Many home owners in the UK owe owning their homes to Thatcher. What was the rate of home ownership before Thatcher? Wasn't it only rich people who owned their homes? With Thatcher, individuals could also own shares. 11 MILLION people bought shares after privatization. That is still the level of share ownership in the UK today. The only people that didn't benefit were those who expected the government to do everything for them. Many clever people became millionaires in the 80S BECAUSE she reformed the markets.

Let me ask you a questionn - Did it make sense to shut down the mines and dump thousands of people onto the dole queue ? was that more cost effective? I really dont understand the logic of creating mass unemployment and adding more pressure to the social security system .

Mister blinkered man - let me list to you the legacy of Thatcher's mine closures: drug addiction, astronomical rise in crime rate, suicide increase, the rise of casual exploitative non unionised labour , alcholism adding not only more pressure to the social security system but to the national health service - was it worth it?


Today many british workers can be hired and fired at the whim of their employer all as a result of Thatchers dismantling of the unions - again i ask you - was it worth it?

So thatcher created home ownership - please get your facts right - you do not own your home if the bank grants you a mortage on it -you are merely a tenant of the property until you have paid off the mortgage to the bank - shortly after the 1980 right to buy scheme was lauunched by Thatcher interest rates shot up this resulted in many of these former so called home owners losing their properties because their mortgage repayments became astronomically expensive - so in other words she fooled the british public into a sense of false security and later snatched the rug from underneath them by putting up intrest rates - how was this a good thing?

The only people who benefitted from thatcher's policy were the upper middle class and the city of london bankers who make up a tiny minority of the british public - the average joe lost out. I dont expect you to understand any of this because being of a typical nigerian mindset you identify with your oppressor even when that oppressor has his foot on your neck.

I can't really go into details right now because I'm on my way home but you should be able to discern it yourself...

The Iran contra made Nigeria a major route for drugs... and that was when Nigeria became neck deep in the drug game...

And SAP started the devaluation of the naira and most of the economic policies that's affecting Nigeria today...

Katsumoto: If Thatcher policies were so bad, why didn't two Labour prime ministers, who were in power for 13 years, reverse her major policies? If they were so bad, why did Blair continue her policies?

Don't be naive, kats... We all know that the banksters and plutocrats control both Labour and Conservatives... So, how do you expect Labour to overturn something that benefits their major financial backers?? They don't have balls to do that, to be honest... Blair did what he could to balance the equation with what he had - and we all felt his policies...

City of London and Canary Wharf control Westminster and Downing Street!!

You've repeated a line by extreme racist groups to support their myopic vision of the world. No data or fact supports this notion. It was policy targeted at a certain group of immigrants (Asians, Africans)

Paradoxically, preferred Hong Kong Chinese given British passports chose not to settle in the U.K. The passports were simply used as "insurance policy". Most settled in US,Canada or Australia
