dienu iesāku izlasot satori nekrologu par tečeri

"Spēcīga, harismātiska sieviete. Sieviete, kura spēja pieņemt nepopulārus lēmumus, kad ekonomika bija grūtībās. Sieviete, kas bija tik spilgta personība, ka neviens no viņas valdības vīriešu kārtas ministriem nestāvēja viņai līdzi. Sieviete, kura spēja uzsākt karu pret Argentīnu un tajā uzvarēt. Un, īsumā, tas arī viss. Ja man kā cilvēkam, kurš ir gadiem oficiāli studējis politikas zinātni, kāds uz ielas ko jautātu par Tečeri, neko daudz vairāk par iepriekšminēto es noteikti tā uzreiz arī pateikt nevarētu."

rakstā valda vissliktākais, kas var būt žurnālistikā - zināma vienaldzība pret tēmu, stulba aukstasinība spriedumos, te nav nerva, kas palīdzētu mums saprast, kādēļ briti tik ļoti ienīda tečeri, ka vēlēja viņai nāvi savās dziesmās, savā popkultūrā, if you don't feel a thing, then don't do it, bļaģ

Agreed - I don't have anything much to say about her: well, I hated her. But now... apathy, really. She welcomed all that hate, by the way. Stored it up and used it against us as she pitted us against each other: she shafted the poor, she shafted the workers, she ripped up industry and freed the City... and most of all, she said it was all our fault if it wasn't working for us. She just went one step too far with the Poll tax (same flat rate municipal tax regardless of income). If she'd gotten away with that she had have gone for the National Health Service for sure. She said there was no such thing as society as she placed half of the North on the dole. She supported apartheid, she supported Saddam Hussein, she adored Pinochet, and she made half the country mock those who gave a shit about something - all the while wrapping herself up in the Union Jack.

You can love her for the geopolitical comings and goings, but, look... what have you got here: Thatcherism - finance dominated economy, offshore corporate tax evasion, working poor getting by on short-term, high interest credit. And, of course, if it isn't working for you, it's all your fault. Just "get on your bike" and fuck off somewhere else (and if you can bust another country's union movement, all the better). So, she lives on - you Latvians just never had to hear her voice in your head.

Tiem, kas mani pazist: esmu Brits un man ir 43 gadi - so, you can disagree with me, but.. you weren't there.

	If all was so shitty than why you (ok, not you personally, but brits) elected her in 1987 (1983 after Falklands was out of question ofcourse)? (Atbildēt uz šo) (Iepriekšējais) (Diskusija)

A lot of people liked her defeating the unions, and privatising almost everything. Also, if you were part of the boom (North Sea oil and real estate fuelled), you were doing well - those who supported her liked the idea that if you were poor/unemployed it was because you deserved it. They liked the dismantling of the welfare state and the forsaking of the concept of society. The only thing her supporters felt should bind us was the flag. The UK was an extremely divided country, and like I say, she fed off that. You can see it geographically in the voting patterns - the South and East liked her (they didn't have much industry to lose and there was a boom in services and finance etc.). The North hated her - she took industry apart and left them with practically nothing.
