I only know that she was good sinking cruises

Something something milk

Much like almost every person in power she had some good moments and some bad. She was basically the English equivalent of Hillary Clinton.

I used to like her but then I became a nationalist and realized that destroying coal mining towns in the name of "economic efficiency" without providing anything to replace them with was a fucking terrible idea.

God tier pm, wish we had someone like her

We're currently on our second female PM. Wish us luck.

Absolutely based.

Just grandmother

What did he mean by this?

...

>tfw no Swedish equivalent to Thatcher or Reagan

>tfw no Swedish equivalent to Thatcher

I thought you guys had lots of people defending child rapists.

>kanada

Just search for Thatcher and child abuse. It was a big scandal and she personally helped cover it up.

Then once you've done that, you can go back to Sup Forums and shitpost with the rest of the cancer.

>Canada talking shit

Fuck off mate, you're America's Scotland. How long till that leaf turns yellow?

Similar scandals are found in virtually every british government, it's part of how they do it there.

I'm surprised you didn't know about Thatcher covering up a fucking pedophile ring in her own party.

Or maybe you do know about it and don't care.

You're very right that I don't care. She's been dead for quite a while. I care about as much as I imagine the average American cares about the shady deals of their former leaders. Every country has had people in power who are corrupt and use their position as a platform for nepotism. If we're going to talk about Margaret Thatcher there are several things she did worse than covering up for some pedos.

Half of them love her and the other half wants to rip her head off and suck her guts out.

Did you just compare this bitch to a Frube?

Reagan was a terrible leader.

the only people that like thatcher are people who weren't born during her reign

Why? I've listened to plenty of his speeches and he is unbelievably good. I almost feel proud even though I'm not American.

Brain dead leftist

>British cuisine

Stop culturally appropriating our bilingualism btw

>He gave all our jobs to china
>He armed terrorists with weapons that would later be used by the group that caused 9/11
>He did nothing to contain the AIDS epidemic that was sweeping the nation
>He cut taxes on the rich
>His costly war on drugs fixed nothing
There's probably some more shit that I could say but this is enough.

No Clinton did that
Can't disagree
He did. The only people that are pissy about aids and blacks and gays.
So what
Don't have enough data

>He gave all our jobs to china
I find it problematic that jobs are outsourced to China. But as a libtard I find it hard to combine my opinions of the free market and government intervention. I don't know how it can be done without some jobs going overseas.

>He armed terrorists with weapons that would later be used by the group that caused 9/11
Fair enough, but he had his reasons. It's easy to say it was bad in hindsight. Not so easy when you're the president before the fact.

>He did nothing to contain the AIDS epidemic that was sweeping the nation
That's bad, I agree.

>He cut taxes on the rich
I have no problem with tax cuts.

>His costly war on drugs fixed nothing
Again, hindsight is a bitch.

Its American.

Shame it isn't in Chinese then it'd be even easier for you to read. :^)

Margaret "There is no such thing as society" Thatcher

I'm fairly sure it's French.

Owned by yanks and made by the frogs, either way it is not British.

He didn't send jobs to China.

Clinton did in the 90's.

Reagan forced corporations to clean up the environment or they would be hit with a multi million dollar fee a day

Best PM the UK has ever had.

Prolly sucked some mean dick

>Reagan forced corporations to clean up the environment
Depending om how this could be good. We have the same in Sweden, probably harsher but unlike Reagan it's just socialists cucks ruining and ruining this formerly great country.

Still fucking tasty. I remember being a kid and having these in my lunchbox.

Isn't She is pretty much the opposite?Or do you mean more generally and less specific policy?

The coal mines were commie mines funded by British tax payers but came back with the weirdest tax policies

I don't get it

I'm sorry I don't understand your question

I don't either

He gave them a year to starting cleaning up what they were polluting and if they weren't doing anything they were hit with a huge fee per day

Honestly got no problem with that, god bless Reagan

Yeah it really improved a lot of things here

She was awful.

Every economic indicator under Thatcher got worse. Much later she only controlled inflation (after taking it from 10% to 20%) by imposing a depression on the country. She had to abandoned Monetarism half way through her tenure and pretend she never believed in it.

Foreign policy was an embarrassment: supporting Apartheid, supporting Pol Pot, supporting Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan:

youtube.com/watch?v=wAUdupZlzwo

The makings of the 2008 Financial Crisis in this country started with her as well, pic related.

She was hilariously bad. To an absurd degree. Which of course is why edgy Sup Forumstards think she was good.

>Margaret
she has such a cute name
who is this though

Name one that wasn't worse excluding Churchill.

>Every economic indicator under Thatcher got worse

Apart from growth and eventually a jobs boom?

churchill was a hero u fucking ikea flat pack furniture sucking cunt

she wanted Pinochet's dicktator

Leftists forget that people like Thatcher and Reagan had to improve their respective countries after shitty policies of the 70's

No, Churchill was much worse than Thatcher.

It's clear you -and everyone in this thread- haven't actually studied British history and just believe memes.
>growth
GDP growth in the Thatcher years and since was half what it was in the post-war years between Attlee (Britain's greatest ever PM in case the Swede is interested) and Callaghan.

>Jobs
Yea employment finally rose during the massive debt binge she created. Refer back to chart here Before then, Thatcher took unemployment to levels not seen since The Great Depression (pic related).

I meant was not wasn't.

>Leftists forget that people like Thatcher and Reagan had to improve their respective countries
hahahahahahahahahahahaha

What improved with Thatcher? Unemployment didn't. Growth didn't. The current account didn't. Economic inequality went through the roof. Housing became unaffordable. The list is endless.

She only controlled inflation much later on AFTER abandoning monetarism.

Britain in the 70's was a decaying hellhole holding on to dead industries that were killing it. And was seen as so pathetic that Argentina invaded you guys

>It's clear you -and everyone in this thread- haven't actually studied British history and just believe memes.

Being this hopelessly autistic on an image board.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about but the matter of the fact is that nobody bloody cares.

>not british

This graph proves you wrong. Rekt, faggot

Productivity suffered too.

Really makes you wonder why are these two quacks celebrated by the right to this day.

I like her butthurt causing abilities
Don't know anything about her policies

>Britain in the 70's was a decaying hellhole holding on to dead industries that were killing it.
Believing more memes I see. Yea the industry was so bad that the private sector was desperate to buy it all when she privatised it.

Why not actually refer to how much national income and wages were growing to see how "bad" British industry was.

Also, she was responsible for the Falklands. They had prior information and she just ignored it like a mong.
>Chart only shows growth from where Thatcher took over
Is this a joke? I'm comparing the rate of growth to pre-Thatcher which your chart completely ignores.

Except for the fact that the labor unions managed to destroy 3 prior governments in the U.K. Those industries were dead

BASED

>honestly wish I was either American or British
wtf do I do lads?

Stop believing the lies of your government

>Except for the fact that the labor unions managed to destroy 3 prior governments in the U.K.
More memes I see.

The previous governments were destroyed by giant inflation caused by your deal with the Saudis which quadrupled the oil price overnight.

Oil being the most important input into production meant runaway inflation. Unions had no choice to strike to keep up with runaway prices.

>dead industries
This is just blatantly false. The British industries were the best in all of Europe. Subsequent reports have shown this time and time again.

Hard to mine coal when there is none left

>This is just blatantly false. The British industries were the best in all of Europe. Subsequent reports have shown this time and time again.

kek what horseshit. imported coal was FAR cheaper for a start than coal mined here. and our motor industry produced famously shit unreliable cars. british leyland was an utter joke

And how did that turn out? lmao

youtube.com/watch?v=o3HfGLThpaw

Luckily good for you

There was plenty of coal left.

Moreover taking coal workers and putting them on the dole made no sense. She lacked any grasp of a basic industrial strategy to replace old with new.

Nope. I can't find the link. But this was thoroughly debunked.

Don't forget funding nun rapists in Nicaragua and calling them "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers"

That's what the unions did before Thatcher

No those guys were funded by the commies

>Moreover taking coal workers and putting them on the dole made no sense.

Tell that to the crippled unions, faggot

>Nope. I can't find the link. But this was thoroughly debunked.
>"I'm so right you have to just take my word for it!!".

Confirmed autistic

>nun rapists in Nicaragua and calling them "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers"
How is that wrong?

Your Founding Fathers were also a bunch of rapists. Jefferson raped his slaves constantly.
No. Unions created higher employment not lower employment. They raised aggregate demand from wages would prevent employer abuses of workers with unfair dismissals.
>Tell that to the crippled unions, faggot
And you're happy that working class people have no democratic say in their own economy?

That level of cuckery is incredible.

>Your Founding Fathers were also a bunch of rapists. Jefferson raped his slaves constantly.

Yes but we don't like to talk about it Britbong

>before Thatcher
>blue collar workers are tenants in Labour-controlled cells
>after Thatcher
>they can own their own homes

>The British industries were the best in all of Europe

This is a troll, right? When Ford acquired Jaguar in 1989, they discovered that the main plant looked like something from the World War I era. They had no choice but to close it down and build a totally new one.

All I know about her is that she was PM during the Malvinas War

She is based and Mummy May is continuing the legacy

>other cunts will never know the feel of being ruled by a stern right wing woman

Soon we will

T-thanks

Japanese prime minister Abe's role is same as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
It's needed to change industrial structure and social system to solve stagnation.

Are you in the wrong thread or something?

Shinzo Abe is your country's Donald Trump.

...

He asking if Hillary Clinton and Margret Thatcher would get along policy wise.

You don't understand Japan

Well no. Of course they wouldn't they're on different sides of the spectrum. What I meant when I said she was the equivalent was that they are both old cocky women who have shady pasts and often use their platform for nepotism.

DING DING THE WITCH IS DEAD

Retarded neoliberal person who destroyed British industry.
