Considering it still hasn’t sunk in here in the USA, I dare think that’s going to be a long ways off.So, I guess introspection isn’t going to happen just yet uh? For a moment, I thought it would be a thing listening to everyone reaction in the morning following the defeat.

Considering Maggie lead the Conservatives it could either mean that she was so beloved by the people that the Labour never recovered or that she secretly mass murdered the Labour voters.Aaron Fox weeks back said that Margaret Thatcher long gutted Labor

Worse than that, the "workers" were infiltrated by communists, and agigated them into striking and rioting as to soften them up for a takeover by the UdSSR. Thatcher took these unions, broke their spines over her knee, and established law and order again.I remember seeing one movie wherein she has flashbacks and was suffering dementia after her term
The working class was refusing to work and were violently and angrily rioting
Not miners. Communist-backed Mining Unionists.Wah...? You mean to tell me miners in the north are not a reliable source of information for an unbiased view of Thatch? Mein Gott.

As the courts seized the NUM's assets, it began to look abroad for money, and found supplies in the Soviet bloc and, it was mistakenly thought, also from Libya. These countries were highly unpopular with the British public. The Soviet Union's official trade union federation donated £1.5 million to the NUM.[17]:228[122]
Media reports alleged that senior NUM officials were personally keeping some of the funds. In November 1984, it was alleged that senior NUM officials had travelled to Libya for money.[123] Cash from the Libyan government was particularly damaging coming seven months after the murder of policewoman Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London by Libyan agents. In 1990, the Daily Mirror and TV programme The Cook Report claimed that Scargill and the NUM had received money from the Libyan government.
...
MI5 surveillance on NUM vice-president Mick McGahey found he was "extremely angry and embarrassed" about Scargill's links with the Libyan regime, but did not express his concerns publicly;[126] however he was happy to take money from the Soviet Union.[126] Stella Rimington, wrote, "We in MI5 limited our investigations to those who were using the strike for subversive purposes."[127]
Okay; so then why did Obama win multiple elections? I may not know that much about Thatcher, but I do know politicians, and they tend to be very good at lying to people to get their votes.Worse than that, the "workers" were infiltrated by communists, and agigated them into striking and rioting as to soften them up for a takeover by the UdSSR.

The Fake News MSM, the actors of Hollywood, and every left-leaning institution never forgave her for destroying their shot at creating a communist UK, and thus seek to slander her history by claiming everyone hated her. Ask yourself: If Thatcher was so hated, why did she won multiple elections with high numbers in her favor?
I tell you why: Because the citizens wanted her to be in charge, not the communist-backed traitorous candidates. Every time someone claims she was hated, ask them how she got reelected then. Their answer will tell you what you need to know about their politics.
Because Obummer had charisma up the wazoo, and the aid of the MSM and their propaganda outlet.Okay; so then why did Obama win multiple elections? I may not know that much about Thatcher, but I do know politicians, and they tend to be very good at lying to people to get their votes.
This. Especially the bit about the media bending over backwards to kiss his ass. Good Lord I remember how it was like he could do nothing wrong. And I’m sad to say I fell for it.Because Obummer had charisma up the wazoo, and the aid of the MSM and their propaganda outlet.
He coulda've convinced an inuit to buy ice-cream on the north pole.

Not to derail the thread, but if you're gonna bring up the Cult of Personality of Obama:
This
And this...
And, this, when he got reelected in 2012...
The one thought that kept running through my head as I watched this all unfold back in 2008? "Jesus, talk about 'Triump of the Will' for the 21st Century..."
Yeah, that's pretty much how I saw it. But that's my point; citizens apparently wanted Obama to be in charge too, but that does not mean there weren't a lot of people who had legitimate criticisms against his presidency, and the same probably holds true for Thatcher.Because Obummer had charisma up the wazoo, and the aid of the MSM and their propaganda outlet.
