It's not about skin color, it's about CULTURE, man!!

The Iron Lady. Wish she was there for Britain now. 😢

Margaret Thatcher wasn't perfect, but she would be a LOT better than the shitshow we have today!

Ian is completely wrong on immigration and people being against people’s skin colour. It’s about integration into our society, and not expecting us to allow their culture to dominate ours. Respect the culture of the country you’ve chosen to live. I would expect nothing less if I chose to live abroad.

French here and gosh do i looove Tatcher, i wish she was still with us , i follow everything i can about her, what a great woman she was :)

As a Canadian who watched a lot of UK comedy, I never understood the unrelenting and vile hatred for the woman, especially juxtaposed with all the virtue signaling about male overrepresentation in leadership and how female leaders were so badly needed. The cognitive dissonance was off the charts.

When I was a teenager, Margaret Thatcher came to a university in St. Louis, MO, USA. My dad took me to watch her speak (mid 90s). She was wonderful!

And then Tony Blair came along and destroyed Britain.

American here and I LOVED her.

For those who came out of the USSR, she was an unbelievable hero

As a Canadian, in the 1970's I visited my UK relatives who lived in the north. Shocking how out of date it all seemed. Heating was a single gas fire in the lounge. No one owned their own house. The majority seemed to be poor, living without basic niceties like cars or colour TV's. Went back in the late 80's and it was like day and night. I don't know if Thatcher saved Britain, but she pushed it into the modern 20th century.

Dale doesn't understand. No race/tribe/religion on earth would be happy to see their language/identity/culture being eroded. It's about assimilating & respecting the host's culture & way of life.

In 1999 I was a senior in college at Houston Baptist University. And the university was hosting the “Legacy Evening with Lady Margaret Thatcher”. As a music major I was one of the few students chosen to perform for her that evening. I could not believe what a down to earth person she was and how personable she was. I fell in love with Thatcher that night and knew she was a truly great human being. England was a better country with her. Wish she was there today! Because England is so far left today it’s not even funny!!!

"Only 7% of our land is built on so clearly we're not full up." Now THAT is a facile argument.

My mum helped my family to benefit getting on the property ladder through Thatcher's policies.

I am so lucky to have spent my 3 years in the UK (East Anglia) when Thatcher was in charge. It was very nice then. Not going back there any time soon under present circumstances. Get your crap together, UK.

A lot of people who don’t like the changes to their city, often move out to the suburbs. They know exactly what they’re talking about!

@spivackl 1 year ago

Thatcher did, indeed, save Britain. (I remember it well.) The sad thing is that 35 years later it needs to be saved AGAIN. A country only gets so many "get out of jail free" cards.
