[QUOTE="MrseNickJonas, post: 3264655, member: 99878"] What a load of codswallop! At no point was I attacking his right to express a liking of Thatcher, what I was remarking upon was the poor taste of professing a love of Thatcher merely to provoke a reaction, which is implied in his admittance that what he wrote was written for lols. Furthermore I was dismissing the fallacious reasoning that because one has not invested emotionally in a subject one's position is automatically made intellectually admirable. The common theme in Crows posting in this thread has been "LOL the Anti-Thatcher brigade don't have any arguments because they are just being emotional unlike me." Thatcher didn't leave office only for a cavalry charge of magical elves to swoop in and return the political culture to neutral, you don't create that level of change as a prime-minister without those effects -ironically- trickling down. And the response of privatising, cutting social spending and continuing to stamp on the poor when they are the least equipped to take the beating is a continuation of Thatcherite politics. Celebrating Thatchers work is an easy way for this government to pretend that their own campaign of demonising people on benefits and the larger working class while handing vital sections of our society over to business is a positive and brave endeavour. Crow has come in and squawked about the Anti-Thatcher lot being un-able to provide any reasoning for why they hate her and the one time he does try to back this argument up (in a thread that is 40 pages long) all he can do is quote an exasperated 19 year old that he provoked on Steam. It's a painfully common and dishonest attempt to undermine people who care about politics. It's the same in every field, whether it's racism, sexism, welfare it's the same old schtick: "LOL those feminists are so emotional they don't even know why they are angry" If Crow genuinely feels indifferent then I suggest he either educates himself to the point where he is no longer so passive or stops throwing things in from the side-line to agitate people who he has no real qualms with outside of what would seem to be the fact that they care..
