Thatcher in hospital

Apparently she was "feeling faint", poor love. I hope that wasn't an NHS hospital, considering all the people who can't get treatment for real illnesses thanks to her decimation of the NHS.

Is this the same way that she single-handedly destroyed the coal mining industry (ignoring the fact that coal reserves were running out and that Arthur Scargil was a lunatic) and killed the hunger strikers (ignoring the fact that they refused to eat) ???
I'm just curious, that's all.

At least when she was in charge we were nobody's rubbing rags and had some pride and self respect.
Not like today when the country is run be someone who has his head stuck up the arse of America's village idiot. (obligtory smiley
