Could also be a jealousy/envy issue within YOU, in that she had bigger balls than you...
Its not even as though he had a problem with the fact the statue was there...He did it as a political statement against global capitalism :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Pointless act which will achieve nothing other than costing us more money.
She was passionate about this country and its achievements. More than can be said for Major and Blair.
Let's see, First Female PM and the longest serving this century...
You may not like her policies, but her achievements means that she deserves a statue.
Or do you object to Churchill's too...?
I can think of much more expensive things which IMO are less worthy of the money, but netherless we pay for.
Yes, by a country mile, well in the last 100 years or so. Can you think of anyone better?
Mrs T, saved this country. When she does go she should become Siant Maggie, and we can have a new bank holiday, Siant Maggies day.
Mindless
You were not even born when she took office and only just starting school when she left, what gives you the opinion that she was an evil old cow? Or have you been indoctrinated by your parent’s prejudices.

Churchill, Clement Attlee, David Lloyd George?
I generally feel that Thatcher put the country on the right track. In my mind the whole notion of Thatcherism (be it a curbing of trade union power, individualism, monetarism, free market/laissez-faire policies, meritocracy, a minimum state) is a rebuttal of the folly of the 1970's. The post-war consensus had failed and the UK needed an urgent alternative. Even today New Labour pursues (in essence) the same economic policies as Thatcher (one only has to think of anti-inflationary policies, free market ideals and the privatisation of state industries).
I can understand why some detest Thatcher though. Due to her individualist beliefs, one could argue that Britain became too individualistic a society. The average Joe was too self-interested too care about or aid his fellow man.

Do you mean Argentina viz. the Falklands?
