Margaret thatcher dead

[UB40]

Just to reply to point 2. Political status was given to IRA prisoners before Maggie Thatcher came on board. Because it was admitted that this was a political struggle. I am not an IRA sympathiser but this was the case and Maggie thatcher removed this political status. The hunger strikers died looking for political status to be reinstated. History since has confirmed that it was a legimate cause, so dont you trivalise it by saying they could have ate! They were obviously dedicated to the political struggle and Maggie Thatcher rode roughshod over their rights.

I have been reading through the posts and i have to say there are quite a few idiots around let me point out a few things i found funny.
1. Maggie was responsible for more deaths in this country then anyone else. False - correct answer IRA
2. Maggie was responsible for the deaths of the hunger strikers. False - Correct answer is It was there own decision not to eat. They were given meals every day and choose not to eat them. If they had been good boys and ate there dinner they would probable still be around today.
She was a politician not a Hari Krishna and some tough decisions to make while prime minister and im sure she stepped on a few toes.
Just in case you are wondering i am born and bred Irish , i am proud to be Irish i just dont buy into all this bullshit that she was to blame for everything that happened in the north and the IRA were pure saints. It takes two to tango.
I will finish up with a quote from Sir Alan Sugar that he tweeted yesterday and im sure it might apply to a few of the people making comments on this thread.

Some of the despicable scum tweeting foul mouth comments on my Baroness Thatcher tweet, were still drinking milk from a teat in the 80's

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate can not drive out hate: only love can do that.
