Wishing death on a human being I have never met and don't know the first thing about is repugnant - who is claiming to be perfect? Wishing death in anyone is rather grubby and in this context based mainly on media hyperbole. The people who wish death on Thatcher are the kind of morons who formed lynch groups in the Mississippi Delta in 1955.

Agreed.

I'm not convinced by this argument.

A debate is a structured form of argument where persons with differing views discuss a topic, usually in a civil and gracious fashion.

I haven't seen any civility or grace here, just a group of people wishing that somebody they have never met in person was dead.

Whatever your views on Thatcher, this sort of behaviour is completely contrary to the concept of debate - not even politicians stoop this low.

If you wish somebody dead, then, for your own reasons, that's your thought. But attempting to dress it up as some sort of stimulating intellectual activity is simply retarded, and demonstrates more about your ability to structure argument than about anything else.

Well said Swervo. A debate might involve the discussion of pros and cons of the Thatcher policies; wishing death on an 84 year old is not debating and is an opinion better kept to oneself, certainly in a civilised society. Amazing that somebody thinks it is acceptable to express extreme views like this but then gets huffy and hints at racism when somebody else refers to a Scot as Scottish!

Talking of the Thatchers isn't Mann supposed to be spilling the beans on Mark's involvement in that Coup?

And I wonder what happened to the daughter who was kicked out of the bbc for racism?

Gave the order to sink Belgrano
Reneged on a promise to 10 republicans
Many suicides due to her economic policies which threw proud men on the dole.


I only wish pain and death on 1 person in this world and its her.

Lord_Farquar

Reneged on a promise to 10 republicans?

Belgrano was a threat to british forces, don't care which way it was going, do you really think that it wouldn't of joined in actions against the task force?? It was sunk during a time of conflict, sad for the sailors on board, but the right military decision.

Right, or in Kindergartenese: they started it.
