Maggie's Portrait
Jump to: Newest in thread
Sir Kier has reportedly had a commissioned portrait of Maggie T removed from No.10. He found it 'unsettling' apparently. Poor chap. Some might say this is a good thing, but what portrait will the PM have instead? Lenin? Mao? Nelson Mandela? What we would be a fitting portrait to represent his Sceptred Isle of ours? |

There are many who view Thatcher as a great leader. Many others, who suffered her tyrany, know her for what she was.
If SKS does not want her staring down at him then by all means remove her painting. He would no more want pictures of Lenin or Mao up there than Boris would want Ghengis Kahn, Pol Pot and Putin. |

It should be a split picture. Left hand side images of freezing pensioners and on the right hand side images of his union pay masters collecting money. |

Ha! Yes, or commission a sculpture by Damien Hirst of pensioners frozen solid in a block of ice. |

Agreed.
We can all see how compassionate the left really is. This myth of socialism helping people.
BS. |

Apparently the replacement is a picture of Sunak in front of No 10 with a water spray running down it. When approaching a voice says "I have a plan".
The Daily Mail is wetting its pants with indignation.
Banksy has denied it's his work but has accepted an OBE from SKS. |

"He should look at his own failings
A portrait of Jimmy Saville is befitting
"
Well she was a very good friend of Savile, lobbied very hard for him to get a knighthood in the early 80s, despite being warned against it by senior civil servants. |

This country was on it's knees in the late 70s due to labour and unions. Something drastic was needed. She was wrong to out source manufacturing. Coal? Well labour shut more mines than the tories and it got to the point where it was cheaper to import. Car manufacturing was dire. The cars were rank and it was a nationalised mess. Privatisation was needed, unions put back in their box and power returned to elected politicians not union barons.
Pain? There was . But it had to change.
I'd say Blair was/is evil. Thatcher was the last patriotic PM we had. All since them....globalists, europhiles. |

I agree, the country was a complete basket case and laughing stock pre Thatcher. She administered medicine that brought the UK back from the brink, but yes, it left a nasty taste. Modern Britain is founded on Thatcherism whether we like it or not. |

.... and by the way, the notorious piece was not aquired by the government art collection, was paid for by an anonymous donor and hung in a room nicknamed the thatcher room by her more zealous devotees
it would be a fitting irony if the thing was sold and what little money garnered was subsumed into the treasury coffers. |

She sold everything.
Now look at the mess with water, trains,
And the right to buy council house realy solved social housing and housing in general.
No in my book the only thing she got right was the Falkland War. |

"Maybe they’ve taken it to a restorers to get 14 years worth of spunk removed?
Are you ok? Does the word thatcher trigger you? "
Unless you lived and suffered through the Thatcher years,you really have no idea how much damage Thatcherism did to the working class of this country half of my family are builders the other from Welsh mining and both these industries utterly destroyed by thatchers Britain.
This era basically allowed agencies to become the dominant force in employment workers rights out of the window and later the menace of zero hours contracts.
The decimation of apprenticeship scheme's which we are now seeing the results of many industries lacking in skilled workers,we became reliant on cheap European labour Brexit put a stop to that now everywhere is struggling to find labour and more so skilled labour.
Selling off nationalised industry which just resulted in piss poor service and making shareholders very rich.
Selling off housing stock and this obsession with everyone having a mortgage.
Honestly the list goes on and on with the only people to benefit have been the rich.
We've suffered years and years of greed at the hand's of our politicians thinking only of themselves and their friends getting as much as possible from implementing things that they will get rich from.
I'm sure if you were to ask Miners, steelworkers,ship builder's,car manufacturers , fishing how they feel about Thatcher I'm pretty sure they would agree with the removal of the painting.
So yeah just like for many Blair is a trigger for many more Thatcher is the antichrist. |

Don't be so naive - or in the least catch up on the social history of Great Britain !
For 12 years, Thatcher defined the lives of both rich and poor (and long after) - she also dismantled the unions and industry. She shut the coalfields and dismantled large swathes of 'community'. She was the Prime Minister that actually 'caused' major riots in the country. She introduced the notion of yuppie Britain, dividing the country into have and have nots . . . and on and on and on . . .
The effects and attitudes of parents bringing up children of that time will have passed that experience on to them, and the children themselves will have had physical and emotional experience of her actions on public policy.
That's how Thatcher will trigger the adults today.

"Would things have been better in the UK if Thatcher had not existed and the country had continued on whatever path it was on at the time. "
I was too young to understand or be bothered at the time but read a lot. The 80s were the hangover from the 70s and a lot of the problems in the 70s are rooted in the oil crisis.
I think the gradual improvement in the global economy over the 80s (with blips clearly) would have still happened and benefitted the UK.
Thatcher sold off the family silver to bolster govt finance. It was a one-shot trick. |

After the budget and more austerity is announced he will be as unpopular as Sunak.
I believe he is now polling in the negative, awful place to be after just 2 months and October budget on the horizon. "

Well to be fair they COULD get better if Labour relaxed fiscal rules and started borrowing more but then the same people moaning would be moaning about that. It’s all about who feels the pain because it is always someone. |

I honestly don't think people thought it would be getting better so quickly, but conversely neither did they think it would go in the direction it has so quickly.
Rewarding the unions, plundering the pensioners, persistent negative messaging of brace for pain, leaving a feeling that tax rises that will impact the working person are inevitable after all of the promises they wouldn't do that.
It has not been a text book start and it shows a certain naivety towards government that many knew was there. |

To wake every morning having to listen to another Labour whine about how bad it's going to be - how tough the decisions are to be made - how we must p*ss on the pensioners to help the NHS.
How hard it is to turn the page - make a new start - change the past . . . give Britain what it deserves!
For crying out loud, get on with it !!!!
Show us what is actually changing. Becasue so far, nada nuffin zero zilch and don't give us that crap of it's only been a few weeks. 14 years in opposition and you did no planning? Yet I recall him saying 'we are hitting the ground running!'
Yup. It seems we have what we deserve already.

They over spent on the pay rewards putting a huge dent in the finances, going against their fiscal policy within 26 days.
Planning reforms announced no detail and to be honest, listening to Rayner, she doesn’t care what anyone thinks she is doing it, we have no right to say no. Lovely attitude.
Confirmed no vat or income tax rises, are these the same promises as not taxing working people, but they will through other measures?
Negotiations with France and Germany, please!!! It was a formal introduction while in mainland Europe and a question of whether he could go back and have a chat about giving the French more money 🤣🤣

This amounted to 395 tonnes of gold sold for a total of £3billion.

They over spent on the pay as they just gave in to the union's straight away. Hardly an achievement to just agree to demands. Ending the fuel allowance for pensioners does not just end it for the rich ones as someone claimed, it ends it for anyone not on benefits, many of which are going to go into fuel poverty because of this. 10 million pensioners are expected to be affected. The German French thing is just an announcement of what they intend to do in the future but not actually done anything yet. Tax increases on the way too, to add to the already high tax. Giving top jobs to their mates already. I was not expecting miracles in the first weeks but after all their hype, I was not expecting things to get even worse |

The Stone (person) portrait is slightly different in that it was not acquired by the government art collection, rather, the £100,000 cost was paid for by an anonymous donor. The picture shows Thatcher at the height of her power in 1982, just after the Falklands war. |

Don't think he'd do that, Winston Churchill is a very respected PM after getting us through WW2 he stated that one day he would love to see a "united States of Europe" type relationship
Which we did have with the EU until we broke it.

He really is disrespectful sad little man.
if it was down to me I would make sure that evil womans portrait was on a bonfire November 5th
Evil? Can you elaborate on why she was evil?
almost everything she did damaged this country she decimated manufacturing , coal steel shipbuilding , she caused massive unemployment killed northern towns , the poll tax , I could go on for several paragraphs but thank god the witch is dead . "
The poll tax was her mistake, but everything else you mention was the fault of the trades Union movement, who were so much culpable for running everything into the ground. The Labour Party under James Callaghan let them get away with murder. Maggie was tough, which is just what this country needed at the time. |

As it happens, as a single person ratepayer, I was looking forward to the poll tax as a fairer system for all.
However,my arch enemy Maggie quickly realised that by introducing it, a great many people who lived under the radar could justifiably demand the vote by way of return..
..and those people wouldn't be voting for her! |

"Would things have been better in the UK if Thatcher had not existed and the country had continued on whatever path it was on at the time. "
I certainly think so , many of the problems we have today can be linked back to the over simplified & short sighted policies of Thatcher: housing crisis, relying in cheap oil & gas from abroad etc etc |

"I don't normally speak ill of the dead but being the son of a miner, Thatcher can burn in hell.
"
Strangely I can understand that.
I remember that a couple of years after it was all over anti-Thatcher folk calculated, from the Government's own figures, that it had cost the Government (and the British people) £171,000 for every miner made redundant.
When this was put to one Welsh Ex-miner he replied "Really? £172,000. I would have left for a straight £150,000 myself!"
By way of context, the average cost of a house in the UK in 1985 was £30,500. |

"Sir Kier has reportedly had a commissioned portrait of Maggie T removed from No.10. He found it 'unsettling' apparently. Poor chap. Some might say this is a good thing, but what portrait will the PM have instead? Lenin? Mao? Nelson Mandela? What we would be a fitting portrait to represent his Sceptred Isle of ours?
He really is disrespectful sad little man.
if it was down to me I would make sure that evil womans portrait was on a bonfire November 5th
Evil? Can you elaborate on why she was evil?
almost everything she did damaged this country she decimated manufacturing , coal steel shipbuilding , she caused massive unemployment killed northern towns , the poll tax , I could go on for several paragraphs but thank god the witch is dead .
The poll tax was her mistake, but everything else you mention was the fault of the trades Union movement, who were so much culpable for running everything into the ground. The Labour Party under James Callaghan let them get away with murder. Maggie was tough, which is just what this country needed at the time."
Yeah, she didn’t want to do it, they made her, she had no choice. If they’d just had her tea on the table when she got home from work she wouldn’t have to… oh hold on, I’ve slipped into a different type of victim blaming. |

The influence of such a strong minded female leader, Baroness Thatcher, is still rubbing up people who don’t understand what a poor position the outgoing labour government had left the country in.
Winter of discontent, mmmm?
