Does anyone feel sorry for thatcher-now that she has dementia or is it gods way of getting back at her?

Question

people of a certain age will remember how almost everyone(except her rich cronies)suffered under her leadership.i dont regret her suffering for one second and anyone who witnessed the devastation she brought to wales/yorkshire/and elswhere with mining or unions closures will agree with me

Answer 1

She didn't feel sorry for people with dementia when she destroyed the health service and the standard of living for the poor, she is now paying the penalty, what goes around, comes around

Answer 2

Cest la vie! you can rest assured she will be better cared for than ALL the old folk who suffered under her regime and have the same illness.

Why should anyone care? "there is no such thing as society" her words not mine.

Answer 3

I HATE THAT ***** LET HER BURN IN h**l

Answer 4

What kind of offensive question is this. It really does not matter whether you love or loathe a person, you should not wish ill upon them. If this is what you do with freedom of expression, then you do not deserve it.

Answer 5

Same could be said for Teddy Kennedy (one of the biggest Liberals in the USA)  He has brain cancer and does not have long to live.

However I think taking glee in anyone's misery is disgusting.

Answer 6

Why do you people do this to the only good P M's you have ever had?

You did the same to Mr Churchill

I thought you people believed only the stupid yanks believe in God? You were way above that.

We had a few who felt the same about Mr Reagan but they know better than to speck this way were we could get our hands on them

Answer 7

God has ill will against people???

I'm not sure we talk to the same invisible being....

Answer 8

hey bryan, i found your soul, do you want to come over to my place and pick it up now, or do you want me to drop it off tomorrow on my to work?

Answer 9

Yes, Bryan, certain people of a certain age will remember things:

I REMEMBER THE UNIONS COMPLETELY HOLDING THE COUNTRY TO RANSOM - GAS,ELECTRIC, TV, AMBULANCE - ALL ESSENTIAL SERVICES.

I REMEMBER THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT HAVING TO GO CAP IN HAND TO THE WORLD BANK TO BEG FOR MONEY COS WE WERE BROKE

I REMEMBER THREE DAY WEEKS AND c**p BRITISH LEYLAND CARS

I REMEMBER (AND THIS IS DIGUSTINGLY THE WORST) THE DEAD BODIES PILING UP UNBURIED BECAUSE THE MORTUARYS WENT ON STRIKE,

YES BRYAN MATEY - SOME OF US DON'T FORGET.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOUR LOT - MINING IS DEAD - ITS ABOUT AS MODERN AS AN ABACUS.

NO MATTER WHO WAS IN CHARGE THE PITS WOULD HAVE CLOSED. HAVE YOU HEARD OF MICROCHIPS? NUCLEAR POWER? BIOTECHNOLOGY? MOBILE PHONES?

WE DONT BLOODY BUILD SHIPS ANYMORE AND WE DONT BLOODY MINE COAL - WHY BRYAN, WHY???

BECAUSE THEY ARE OLD INDUSTRIES THAT NO ONE NEEDS. NOT THEN AND NOT NOW. GET WITH IT. THINGS CHANGE. COAL IS OLD FASHIONED, SO IS SHIPBUILDING SO IS SPINNING CLOTH IN OLD VICTORIAN MILLS LIKE WHERE I LIVE (THEY STOPPED THAT IN THE 1910's) !!!!!!!

IN 30 YEARS MOBILE PHONES WILL BE OLD HAT, SO WILL DIGITAL TV IT WILL ALL BE OLD FASHIONED AND RUBBISH AND THEY WILL STOP MAKING IT.

BUT PEOPLE WON'T ALL STRIKE BECAUSE THINGS AREN'T AS BACKWARDS AS THEY WERE WHEN YOU WERE IN YOUR PRIME.

ITS CALLED PROGRESS.

INDUSTRY CHANGES. THATS LIFE - GET OVER IT.

PS: READ A BOOK ON THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AS SEE EXACTLY HOW MANY INDUSTRIES BECAME EXTINCT WELL BEFORE THE 1950'S !!!!

Answer 10

Nobody suffered under her leadership, the problems that she dealt with were caused, just like now, by the previous Labour government. Took 10 years to clear up that mess and have the economy growing, looks like it will take 20 this time and we don't have a Mrs Thatcher.

Answer 11

something's eating you up and I don't know what it is. You're clearly a very hate-filled person.

Answer 12

Disgusting.  I just hope you can plead immaturity.  Wait until you see in your own life, and you will..  then you will understand

Answer 13

thatcher created the so called council tax, and it goes up over inflation (does down my end anyway) so you decide

Answer 14

Considering the pain she caused to millions of families by depriving them of their jobs and destroying whole communities in the process just because of her obsessive hatred of the Unions, dementia is a small price for such an evil mind to suffer!  

Answer 15

If illnesses are God's way of getting back at you, I must have been Eichmann in a past life or something.  I don't feel sorry for Thatcher, her mind is happily gone and ain't coming back except for very brief visits, I feel sorry for the people that have to care for her on a daily basis.

Answer 16

she was the greatest post war PM. When she took over, this country was considered the economic basket case of Europe thanks to Callahan and his union cronies, she had the courage to make the hard decisions that made us the strongest economy in Europe. She had the political courage to stand up for the right of self-determination of the people of the Falkland Islands.

A great lady and a great leader. It is sad that now in her eighties, she is suffering from dementia. I wish her well

Answer 17

Some of the posters on here are already suffering from dementia.  How on this earth can anyone wish this disease on another I will never know - you all should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.

She will, with all her faults (and NOT stopping school milk, like a lot of people believe is not one of them - look it up in the H o C library) go down as one of the best PM`s this country has ever had.

Answer 18

Yeah i saw that and i do a bit. But she was a lady on the move, she usually only had 4 hours sleep while in office so i think this could have effected her. She is very old now but still retains good long term memory, and the old thatcher is still there, it flickers through occasionly. She was a brilliant pm. all her policies were great, transformed our country.

May she live long!

Answer 19

I am a carer for people who suffer from dementia and wouldnt wish this on anybody as it often leaves the person confused, forgetful, very frightened feeling vunerable and its heartbreaking for their loved ones to watch this happen to them and cant do anything about it, so answer to your question yes it saddens me very much when i see the effects this horrible disease has on peoples lifes

Answer 20

Dementia is not something you would wish on your worst enemy. We often forget that the people we sometimes demonise have families too.

I find it sad that people so easily put the blame on God, whether it be good or bad. I cannot believe a caring God would wish someone and their family to suffer like this.

Answer 21

For goodness sake - how can you say such a thing.

It doesnt matter whether you liked or loathed her - its a terrible thing when dementia sets in and you should respect that.

It could be your own grandma and I dont think you would take kindly to someone saying it was god getting his own back on her.

Double whammy my friend.

May it never happen to you is all I can say.

Answer 22

Thatcher was the greatest Prime Minister this country has had since Churchill. If you knew anything about Dementia you would not wish it on anyone. I don't mourn the mine closures or the dis-empowerment of unions that were previously holding this country to ransom. Obviously you and I differ in our thinking on many subjects, Humanity and Politics being but two.

Answer 23

You obviously don't think that Scargill and his Trotskyist mates were a bit of a problem then. They didn't nearly bankrupt the country? I am of a certain age and completely disagree with you. Uneconomic mines need closing, as do the mouths of anarchists like Scargill who used them as an excuse to further his Communist ends. The previous Labour Government was also a disaster.

Your question displays the sheer nastiness of most left wingers. Driven by hate.
