Exactly this is it ! then why some people don't apply this nice thoughts with others

for example in communicating with the people that they think have future

or advice them in a more respectfull way like humans. Don't you think is the right thing to do

rather than humiliating to them and disproving their faults. Everyone's life is different

some are more lucky than others so lets be nice with future members.


Yes I am very happy to repeat your sentences

If you judge someone else's lifes, someone

will judge yours.


" All life is equally Valuable, only if you know it and if we

don't then we shouldn't be nasty to others.

The point is she devastated many lives, her actions caused numerous suicides by people losing there livelihoods and being thrown on the scrap heap, we are still paying the price in the North, towns and villages were destroyed and have not recovered due to there being a complete lack of employment. I'll not be sad to see her go.

Any recommendations for Peckham Rose's funerary services..? This questions goes out to those still alive and not those to whom she has personally bid farewell in a work capacity.


Perhaps you should do her service..? Didn't Maggie used to live in Dulwich Village years back? Probably another reason to incite riotuous response...

"Thatcher's policies destroyed my father and I can't find any part of me that will care when she is gone."


I can understand how painful this would feel, but I think it's a statement without context.


I feel it would have been fairer to say that unionised labour had destroyed the fabric of the nation so comprehensively by 1979 that they were masters of their own demise. The unions became so hated that the nation voted in favour of, and stood behind, any politician who could break their malevolvent throttling grasp around the throat of our existence.


I don't believe that Thatcher's policies destroyed your father. Thatcher was a product of a generation that was pissed off with being the humiliated slapped bitch of a wife of the unions.


You may have little recollection of the disease of the 70s, but I spent so many nights in darkness that the unions might as well have transported us to Bhutan.


Your father was destroyed by the people that he believed loved him the most.

Nope.... Thatcher wanted it though! Just another fine example of her tolerance and benevolance!

to think there are people who will condemn the US assasination of OBL and the subsequent partying on the streets and yet want to take to the streets and party here when Thatcher dies is a bit nauseating


I couldn't stand the woman, her party or her policies then or now - but that is entirely different to laughing at an old woman who can't even remember her husband passed away years ago. In fact, watching her (or any old person) in such a state is just painful

Huguenot you are wrong in this one respect. The company my father worked for was a profitable company. There was absolutely no reason for it to be deregulated, privatised and then downsized (for nothing more thsn the maximisation of profit). Unions had absolutely nothing to do with many of Thatchers policies and certainly had nothing to do with my father being forced into early retirement. For many people living in the North Thatcher meant one thing only. There is nothing wrong with reform (where it makes sense) but the Thatcher government did little to regenerate those areas devastated by it's policies. These people really were hung out to dry for generations.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
